These were a direct replacement for the existing tyres on the car, with the exception that I went down a load rating (from an XL to a non-XL tyre) because I wanted better feedback and roadholding. As a result it rides much better and feels more confident when pushed through corners. Whilst they tend to be rated as a Summer tyre, they seem to displace water well and cope with the worst the British seasons can throw at it.

Theses tyres are wearing evenly and still in great condition with loads of tread left on them and still well balanced - no deterioration in the sidewalls. So still all good

Better road handling, less stopping distance

  • Delivers excellent safety when driving at high speeds thanks to asymmetric tread ribs that are designed to absorb the forces acting on the tyres.
  • Provides protection when driving at high speeds, making abrupt manoeuvres or when the road surface changes.
  • Allows vehicles to maintain good adherence to the road for agile steering precision.

Compare and Rate Your Tyre on its Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature

Continental Contisport Contact 3

280 AA A

•  280 Treadwear:
This grade represents the tyre's expected life/duration, ranging between 100 to 1000. Usually, the higher the treadwear rating, the longer the tyre life.

•  AA Traction:
This grade represents the tyre's capability to stop on wet asphalt and pavement. Ratings are expressed in letter form, with AA being the highest and C as the lowest.

•  A Temperature:
This grade represents the tyre's heat resistance ability, with A as the highest and C as the lowest. Heat build-up causes the rubber to break down faster, which can cause blowouts. The higher the temperature rating, the longer the tyre life and the higher the speed rating.

The Continental Contisport Contact 3 is an Asymmetrical Tyre


tyre-size

Asymmetrical tread patterns combine different tread types to deliver maximum wet and dry road grip via its inner and middle tread, while outside, larger and rigid tread blocks dominate the design to improve cornering.

To avoid fitting mistakes, asymmetrical tyres are labelled "outside" and "inside only" so you know if they will face your vehicle or out.

Tale of the Tape

The Continental Contisport Contact 3 vs the Competition

Pilot Sport 4S

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is similar to the ContisportContact 3. Both are UHP tyres designed for sports cars and saloons. It scores higher than the Continental though for dry & wet grip performance and ride comfort and also sports a longer tread life.

Potenza S001

The Bridgestone Potenza S001 is a UHP tyre for premium sports cars such as Ferrari and Lexus. In terms of performance, it is evenly matched with the Continental, but it ranks higher in terms of tread life yet falls behind for tyre noise.

Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is a high-performance sports tyre that doesn't compromise on comfort and style. This is one of the most well-made UHP tyres so it comes as no surprise that it beats the Continental in all performance factors by a mile.
