With the launch of the ContiSportContact 5, Continental has developed a tyre which is equally suitable for sporty cars and SUVs with sporty driving characteristics. With this new development, the tyre engineers have made significant progress in camparison to the popular predecessor ContiSportContact 3:

1. Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions
2. Excellent road grip and safety when cornering
3. Reduced fuel consumption and high mileage

This was made possible due to a new compound which focuses on maximum power transmission and provides low rolling resistance whilst driving normally. This rubber compound which carries the name "BlackChilli" uses the various vibrations of the tyre.

Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions

When braking, the tyre has a high natural frequency within the compound. Short-chain polymers in the Black Chilli compound of the ContiSportContact 5 react to this braking frequency and thus provide optimal energy absorption. The resulting heat shortens the braking distance on wet and dry roads.

Excellent road grip and safety when cornering

The Macro-block design of the tyre's outside shoulder provides a larger contact area, which can therefore adapt optimally to the road surface. The ContiSportContact 5 offers improved road grip and thus more safety when cornering.

Reduced fuel consumption and high mileage

At a constant speed, the vibrations in the compound are significantly lower. The longchain polymers within the compound can release the absorbed energy better, resulting in considerably reduced rolling resistance. Thus, the tyre runs more easily and remains cool – for a higher mileage and a reduced fuel consumption.
