[👍 Key Attractions & Recommended Points of This Tire]
●High Handling Performance and Road Grip
The ContiSportContact 5 (CSC5) grips the road firmly, giving a sense of security as the tire accurately follows the surface during acceleration and cornering. Especially during sporty driving, winding roads, or highway cruising, it demonstrates “road-clinging stability” and excellent steering response to the fullest.
●Excellent Braking Performance (Wet/Dry) and Peace of Mind
The compound featuring the renowned “Black Chili Technology” ensures short braking distances on both wet and dry roads. Even in rainy conditions, it stops reliably, reducing risk. This provides confidence during sudden braking situations and on Japan’s unpredictable road surfaces.
●Reduced Rolling Resistance for Better Fuel Efficiency & Long Life
The CSC5 is not just a high-grip tire; it is designed to minimize rolling resistance. This improves fuel efficiency slightly and reduces tire wear, making it suitable for long-distance driving and everyday use—a perfect balance of “high-speed performance × practicality.”
●Balanced Road Noise and Ride Comfort
While a sports tire, it offers relatively high comfort, being “not too stiff” and “not overly rough.” It performs well from city driving to highways. Even on large bumps or rough roads, it minimizes uncomfortable jolts, making long drives less tiring.
●High Load Index & Speed Rating
Size 255/35R18, load index 94 (≈ 670 kg per tire), speed rating Y (≈ 300 km/h), with XL (Extra Load) support, allowing installation on heavier vehicles or wheels with peace of mind. Suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including sports sedans, premium hatchbacks, and wagons.
●Reliability & Track Record Adopted by European Premium Manufacturers
The CSC5 combines sporty performance with reliability and has been adopted as original or specified tires by many European premium car manufacturers. Its combination of safety and performance embodies the balance expected from a new tire.
