💡 Is the Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR 245/35R19 a Good Tire?
The Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR 245/35R19 is a summer max performance tire designed for luxury sedans and sports cars. It delivers strong dry grip and responsive wet handling thanks to its asymmetric tread design and Black Chili compound technology. Ride comfort is firm due to the low-profile sidewall and run-flat SSR construction, with increased road noise compared to standard tires. Tread life is moderate for its category, as the soft compound prioritizes grip over longevity. Rated Good by TireRack based on 113 consumer surveys, it excels in performance driving but is not winter-rated and requires no spare tire changes due to run-flat capability. Currently priced from $345.56, it is available through major online tire retailers.
