Review on Continental ContiSportContact 5 245/45 R17 95W Summer by Mateusz Szlassa ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, more pros than cons.

Are sufficient to warrant a second season on the RX350. Size 235/55/18. Throughout the course of the previous year, I had to perform several repairs, at which time I removed stones that had burst through. Very soft rubber is both a benefit and a drawback of this product. This year, in the spring, I was already able to puncture one of my wheels, and while the back one is still in fantastic shape, the front one was the one that got punctured. And despite the fact that he had a hernia in the front, he did not adjust his behavior and instead hurled the wheels in front of his behind. When I looked at the tread, I realized that in terms of mileage and wear and tear, I will have enough till the end of the season; nevertheless, I do not believe that I will have enough in general. In general, these are appropriate tires for city driving on asphalt that is in good condition. You would be able to take it if it weren't for our pothole-ridden roads, which require constant repairing with crushed stone mixed with bitumen and occasionally a primer. But of course they get worn out very quickly—at least three summers' worth before she leaves.

Pros
  • great road holding on dry and wet pavement, does not pop up in the rain, and handling is great at any speed, including up to 180 miles per hour on the highways. The width of the track, which is 235, ensures that there is no feeling. Fairly quiet and effective at swallowing holes.
Cons
  • So weak that even the smallest stones can easily penetrate it. The resistance to wear is not very high. They experience rapid wear and tear.
