About This Tire

The Continental SportContact 6 265/40R22 is a max performance summer tire, designed for high-performance vehicle drivers who prioritize ultimate grip and responsive handling in warm weather conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on maximum dry traction, high-speed stability, and precise steering response through Continental's racing-grade technology.

The tire features Continental's Black Chili compound with special racing-grade carbon black that interacts with road texture for enhanced adhesion and quick warm-up times. The asymmetric tread pattern includes a reinforced outboard shoulder and closely spaced intermediate rib for lateral stability during aggressive cornering, originally developed as OE fitment for the Audi R8 V10 Plus. Driver feedback points to excellent dry performance and good wet handling capabilities, though treadwear longevity rates as fair due to the performance-focused compound.

Compared to touring tires, it prioritizes maximum grip and handling precision over comfort and longevity. Overall, it's a solid choice for sports cars and high-performance vehicles used primarily for spirited driving in dry and wet conditions during warmer months.
