Review on Continental ContiSportContact 5 245/45 R17 95W Summer by Stanisaw Borowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Put ContiSportContact 5 235/55 R18 on Lexus RX. It took me a long time to choose tires for my car. The classic of the genre is Bridgestone Dualer, almost ideal for crossovers, but in my opinion the price is much too high. Therefore, after much deliberation, I decided to buy Konti highway tires, since operating practice shows that it is extremely rare to drive through mud and off-road, and almost always on asphalt. First impressions - excellent grip, on wet roads you can make various turns with complete confidence in the safety of the maneuver, on dry roads, respectively, no worse. In terms of noise, I can’t say that it’s completely silent, it’s almost inaudible on good asphalt, but on bad asphalt it appears, the rubber is quite hard. Once I had a chance to drive through the mud a distance of 1.5 car lengths, I barely drove, like clockwork, the car slides from side to side, there is practically no clutch, and this despite the fact that, thanks to the electronic control of the drives, the Lexus does not slip in principle. But this cannot be called a lack of rubber, because. its purpose is completely different, for dirt it was necessary to take a dualer.

Pros
  • Quiet, holds the road well, I especially want to note reliable grip on wet pavement, sometimes it seems that it is better than on dry pavement.
Cons
  • It seems like they don't exist.
