Continental 03160110000 ContiSportContact 5 245/50ZR18 100Y Max Performance Summer Tire

The Continental ContiSportContact 5 245/50ZR18 (100Y) is a max performance summer tire engineered for drivers who demand precise handling, confident grip, and shorter stopping distances without compromising fuel efficiency or tread longevity. Built around Continental's proprietary Black Chili compound, this tire delivers an exceptional balance of dry and wet road performance in a single, versatile package.
