Continental ContiSportContact 5 P Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 101 reviews

Drivers of the Continental ContiSportContact 5 P report excellent dry grip, strong braking, and confident handling when warm, with many praising wet grip initially and overall performance on powerful cars. However, a significant number cite very rapid tread wear (often 5-10k miles/km-equivalent) and increasing noise as the tyre ages, with wet performance dropping notably below mid-tread. Comfort is acceptable with softer sidewalls, but predictability in the wet and value are common concerns. Overall sentiment is mixed, skewing slightly positive on performance but strongly negative on longevity.

Dry and wet grip are quite similar with the main drawback of the tyre being the durability. Road noise is very good i.e. quiet.

Takes too long to activate the rubber in wet and cold conditions. Tire is probably suited for a car less than 1750 kg and all wheel drive. Really needs work on how to manage wet conditions better, as well as higher torque cars, as it should not spin as easily as it does.

These were the OEM tire for my car and I have always been happy with them. I'm currently on my second set in my 7th year of owning the car. It is a summer tire and the warmer the weather the better the grip of course. My only complaint is they are only good for 25000 miles. Be careful when you get to the end of life of the tire. I had a blowout which was not a problem as these are run flat (Or MOE) tires. I believe it was my own fault for trying to get one last season out of my original set. I will be careful to replace my new set earlier.

swapped my ps4 out with these, although the tires have more feedback and are a bit grippier on dry surfaces. they lost a lot compared to the michelins in the wet. The only reason i ended up with the Conti's is that the wait for michelins is roughly 2 months in Norway as of April, and I needed tires now. plus my size is quite wide so not a lot to choose between for a 2,3 tonne estate. When this set wears out I will be trying out the sport contact 7's if they come in my size.

Not very good in wet, car torque steers a lot with them and cant put any power down. No real feel through them but were a large profile.

Purchased another complete set as I was concerned that putting on another type of tyre may effect car.

Hi , 8000 on the rear tyres and the are worn out Front tyres have 5mm of tread on them. Cannot say I am surprised re rear tyres but this car has never been hard and I don't accelerate hard.

These are the standard tyre for the car even though when i bought the car second-hand it had a diffrent brand and size. I decided to return to the manufacture spec. I have only the brief driving with the "original" tyres when i bought the car to compare them with but bought these again when the first set wore out. perfect in the dry, acceptable in the wet, confidence building grip although far from great with regards traction (ie pulling off). I can't say I noticed the noise or the fuel economy as the car and driving style would have been more of a driving factor into these elements than the car!

Hi , third report re the Continental 5p tyres. I played about with tyre pressure but within the Mercedes Benz pressure for my C207/400. The best pressure I found is 33 psi with a slight reduction in road noise and an even better ride. The tyres have now travelled approx 8000 miles and still look very good thread wise. Only real issue I have I cannot replace the MO approved tyre with the 5p because they have been discontinued. I don't think that the Michelin 4S tyre suits the C207 so a little stuffed in future tyre choice !

For a UHP they don´t grip as you wish. In a Spirited driving you will notice that it got low limits and wear really quick.

I wore these tyres for six years, espesially on dry and wet road, in Greece. I am driving an Opel Astra H GTC 1.6 Turbo 180HP. My driving style is mainly calm with some breakouts of aggresive and pushing driving, so I think I have a well-known aspect about the tyres.
