Specifications
CONTINENTAL SPORTCONTACT 5
CONTINENTAL SPORTCONTACT 5 255/40R20 101V XL — quality Summer tyre from CONTINENTAL. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
Efficient, just shy of the top. The CONTINENTAL SPORTCONTACT 5 carries a B rating, the second band on the EU scale. Rolling resistance is still low, and in normal driving the gap from a class A tyre is small enough that you'd barely notice it at the pump.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Very well. The CONTINENTAL SPORTCONTACT 5 is rated A for wet grip, the top grade on the EU label. That means the shortest braking distances on wet roads, so the tyre pulls the car up quickly in rain or on standing water. If you do a lot of wet-weather driving, this is the safest band you can buy.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
A little louder than average. The CONTINENTAL SPORTCONTACT 5 reads 73 dB, toward the upper part of the range. Expect a steady note of road noise on the motorway, often the trade-off for a grippier or more aggressive tread.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The CONTINENTAL SPORTCONTACT 5 carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
CONTINENTAL is a premium class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
