Continental ContiSportContact 5P Tire
Continental ContiSportContact 5P Tire Review
Max Performance Summer Tire

The ContiSportContact 5P is right up there with the top of line tires in the high performance summer category. This tire is great in dry and wet conditions but not for driving in the snow or on ice.

The Continental ContiSportContact 5P is designed to deliver some of the best traction, handling, and steering response possible. The tread compound contains Continental's Black Chilli Technology which warms up the tire more quickly for faster and better traction. 

ContiSportContact 5P is the 'big brother' to the ContiSportContact 5 and replaces the ContiSportContact 3 in the lineup. The 5P is supposed to provide around 15-20% better traction and steering response compare to the previous model. 

When tested on the track the 5P felt exactly like a high performance tire should- it gripped the road so ferociously that it just made you want to drive faster! The traction in both dry and wet conditions was superb. Cornering at high speeds was exhilarating and at no point felt like it was losing any grip. Throughout the 20 minute or so ride on these tires at no point was any control lost.

The only negative thing about this tire comes from customers who have driven aggressively for some time. After 10k to 20k miles the tread does wear pretty quickly, but I guess that is to be expected when you drive a high performance summer tire hard...
​
The Good:
- Steering response is excellent
- Amazing Stability and Cornering
- Great dry and wet traction
- Smooth Ride

The Bad:
- Tread wears pretty quickly


Conclusion:
The Continental ContiSportContact 5P is one best high performance summer tires available and a highly recommended choice. This tire was a lot of fun to drive and provided maximum grip and fun on the road. Prices for this tire start at $160 and vary depending on the size of the tire.
