Review on Continental ContiSportContact 5 245/45 R17 95W Summer by Adam Czajkowski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No minuses as such, comfortable to use.

Skoda octavia 1.8t a7 2022, front-wheel drive, 180 hp The tires are 225/40/18. I drive quite actively, I like to take turns at high speed. The behavior of the car is well predicted and felt when the edge of gripping properties comes. Once I hit a hole at a speed of about 60 km / h. I bent the rims a bit but the tires are fine. Rubber is noisy. Noisier than any I have ever ridden. Potenza S001, contisportcontact 3, hankook evo 2 k 120. I always drove R18, 225 wide. I got used to the hum after a week. Now I don't notice. The most unpleasant thing is that for 5000 km I have already balanced it 5 times. 5! (One time doesn't count, because it was necessary after the discs were repaired.) Balancing constantly disappears somewhere. I do in proven tire services with a good reputation. It is worth missing a few small holes and hello. The steering wheel will vibrate at highway speed. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I can not recommend this model despite the high grip properties.

Pros
  • Excellent adhesion to the road in all weather conditions. Sturdy sidewall. Good fringing.
Cons
  • Noisy. Balancing is lost regularly.
