Review on Continental ContiSportContact 5 245/45 R17 95W Summer by Petar Dimitrov Velik ᠌
Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.
Simply put, the feeling of driving is incredible. It may look like a bathtub, but behind the wheel of this Mondeo IV with these tires gives me a lot of pleasure. My tires, size 215-50 R17 91V, were manufactured in Germany; they were part of the last batch manufactured in Germany; it appears that all sizes up to and including R17 are currently manufactured in Hong Kong.
Pros
- Incredible tire with outstanding road holding and outstanding handling; it rulitsya is simply outstanding. And the manner in which it does it is astonishing in and of itself. Whether it's raining or the roads are plain damp, you'll have a firm grip. Rubber has a "sporty" character, thus it is odd to expect it to be noiseless or to provide a specific premium level of comfort; if you want absolute comfort, you should get ContiPremiumContact instead. The same tire will hold the road precisely, provide good braking in both dry and rainy conditions, and it will never whistle when used in corners. Some authors talk about rigidity, but I wouldn't call it that; it's more of a civilian sport than anything else. Again, if you want comfort and softness, you should not take sports-civilian tires because their goal is active driving, precise steering and precise braking (even in urban conditions), but not a premium soft-comfortable ride. In exchange for how this Kontik behaves on the road, you will have to pay a little bit more noise and a little bit more rigidity. On the other hand, I believe that it is money well spent. I want to emphasize that it is not difficult in any way (you sit down on the bridge and feel the thrill)).
Cons
- It is noisy up to temperatures of 17-18 degrees, but because it is warmer - it does not produce much more noise than competitors do. These are not wholly negative aspects of the product. It starts to tan, and the colder it is, the more it tans, which, in principle, is logical - this is not an all-weather mixture, but a summer tire, which reveals itself only at stable spring positive temperatures and above. You can feel it by changing your shoes early. You also need to be careful when using it at temperatures below 6-7 degrees (you can tell by doing so). And in regard to noise, a covering might have a significant impact. Excellent asphalt; we have no issues. When compared to variegated or asphalt, sure, the asphalt will produce a greater amount of noise.
