The macro-block design used in the ContiSportContact 5 P has been taken a stage further with the addition of wide circumferential grooves in the centre of the tread and bi-directional drainage grooves on the inside.
Continental’s tried-and-tested macro-block design with sturdy lateral shoulder blocks delivers great power transmission, while the transverse grooves ensure that the tire hugs the road surface. The result is outstandingly precise steering and maximum adhesion under potential breakaway conditions.
Continental’s patented “Black Chilli” compound with special high-grip resins ensures maximum intermeshing between the tire and the road surface at the micro-level. The result is superb adhesion in dry conditions and consistently fast lap times.
The wet grip rating indicates how well the tire will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to class E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.
Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tires deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing for each subsequent class through to E.
This is the external rolling noise generated by the tire, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A to C.
In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tires only).
With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tires.
