The ContiSportContact 5P is Continental Tire's Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of some of the world's most prestigious high performance sports cars, coupes and sedans. The ContiSportContact 5P is designed to deliver steering precision, cornering stability and short stopping distances in dry and wet conditions, However, like all summer tires, they are not intended to be driven in near freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The ContiSportContact 5P benefits from a tread compound with Continental's Black Chilli Technology that features an innovative type of racing-grade carbon black to ensure a speedy warm-up along with special grip resins that optimize traction on wet and dry roads. These new carbon blacks and resins blend the rubber's flexibility (important for traction) with the tread's rigidity (important for handling). This compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design featuring a continuous center rib (or multiple ribs in wider sizes, especially those tuned for rear axle only applications) flanked by a large number of small, interlocked tread blocks. Circumferential grooves help water flow through the footprint to resist hydroplaning while the transverse block edges divert water away from the tread blocks to improve wet traction.
The tire's internal structure features a rolling resistance-optimized cap and base tread ("cap" on the outside with the "base" underneath), along with twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped polyamide (a mixture of heat-resistant synthetic aramid fiber and nylon threads) that enhance the ride quality while tuning the contact area's vertical flexibility and lateral rigidity.
Limited sizes of the ContiSportContact 5P are available with Continental's ContiSilent Technology, which involves the manufacturer adhering a layer of sound-absorbing foam to the inner liner of the tire to reduce cabin noise in the vehicle. These sizes are identified on the Specs page and in the search results.
El ContiSportContact 5P se beneficia de un compuesto de caucho que utiliza la tecnologÃa Black Chilli de Continental, la cual utiliza un innovador carbón negro con grado de carrera, para asegurar una temperatura más caliente con más rapidez, además resinas especiales mejoran el agarre optimizando la tracción sobre superficies mojadas o secas. Este carbón negro nuevo y la mezcla de resinas combinan la flexibilidad del caucho (importante para la tracción) y la rigidez de la banda (importante para mejor maniobrabilidad). Canales circunferenciales ayudan a sacar el agua del área donde el neumático hace contacto con la carretera, lo cual ayuda a resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Bordes transversales sobre los bloques o tacos dispersan el agua de la banda de rodamiento para mejorar la tracción.
El ContiSportContact 5P con la tecnologÃa ContiSilent de Continental, se encuentra disponible en tamaños limitados. Esta tecnologÃa adhiere una capa de espuma, que absorbe sonidos en el interior del neumático, para reducir el ruido en la cabina del vehÃculo. Los tamaños con esta tecnologÃa están identificados en las páginas de Especificaciones y en los resultados de búsqueda.

...Shortly after putting on these tires I left on a 300 mile road trip and we had a horrible rainstorm. The tires performed spectacularly in the rain. Coming home from our trip down Parley's Canyon ( very steep grades) on I-80 the road looked like a river - did I also mention I was towing a 3,000 pound boat behind me... Never once did the tires break free or felt as if they were going to hydroplane...
Very pleased with these tires after 7,000 miles. Much better than the 'junk' Bridgestone Dueller 400 HL's (worst tires I ever owned) which only lasted 26,000 miles and were like skis in the snow. Shortly after putting on these tires I left on a 300 mile road trip and we had a horrible rainstorm. The tires performed spectacularly in the rain. Coming home from our trip down Parley's Canyon (very steep grades) on I-80 the road looked like a river - did I also mention I was towing a 3,000 pound boat behind me. Never once the the tires break free or felt as if they were going to hydroplane. I have been able to use the tires in all seasons now. Did great in light/moderate snow. Slightly louder (not much) than the Bridgestones and a little softer handing (again not much). Fuel economy has been the same - the Goodyear and the Bridgestone both have the Low Rolling Resistance Technology. Great thing about these tires is the 6yr. - 65,000 mile warranty. We only put about 7,500 miles a year on this vehicle and most tires are only warrantied for 4-5 years. Keep the longer warranty period in mind when you are shopping around. I will absolutely purchase these tires again.

...They provide good traction wet or dry with a quiet, comfortable ride. They will hydroplane if you hit a deep puddle at 60 mph or more, but then again so will most other tires out there...
This is a follow up review after having these tires on my Santa Fe for 2 years/60k miles. Tires still have about 1/3 to 1/2 tread left, so wear is excellent. They provide good traction wet or dry with a quiet, comfortable ride. They will hydroplane if you hit a deep puddle at 60 mph or more, but then again so will most other tires out there. I've been very happy with them overall. The only problems I've had is one tire suffered an internal tread separation at about 40k miles (which may or may not have been caused by a plug installed to repair a nail hole) and the tires have a tendency to squirm under certain conditions. Driving over very bumpy/irregular roadways, abrupt steering inputs, and other jerky movements illicits this squirm, but since I see no other reviews where this is mentioned it could be attributed to my car's suspension as opposed to the tires. Overall a good tire for the money, and when these wear out (I expect them to last about 80-90k miles) I'll replace with the same.

...Living in North Dakota, we have about 6 months of snow and slush and they handle our weather very well...
One of only a couple decent options in a 19" rim. I think I got lucky and picked the right tire. Was a little questionable for the first couple thousand miles as they seemed to wander on the road. Since then they've been great tires. Living in North Dakota, we have about 6 months of snow and slush and they handle our weather very well. Glad I made the dealer take off the OE Bridgestones and replace with these. No noticable wear to speak of. For the 19 inch rim, this is a soild option, and I am not a Goodyear fan by any means.

...have driven in all conditions, wet, dry, icy, light snow and heavy snow (12+ inches) and these tires have handled all conditions...
Limited tire choices available for Toyota Highlander with 19" wheels/tires. The OEM Toyo tires were replaced by Toyota after 15K and the second set of Toyo's only lasted another 20K. So after much research decided to purchase the Goodyear Assurance. These tires are night and day different than the Toyo's.....outstanding handling under all conditions, with over 7500 miles on tires to date, have driven in all conditions, wet, dry, icy, light snow and heavy snow (12+ inches) and these tires have handled all conditions. Handling is great, tire noise seems to be about the same as the Toyo's. I have not experienced any fuel economy improvements as with mostly highway driving I have been averaging between 22-24mpg.
Will continue to post updates as additional miles are driven and expect to get well over the 20K miles that the Toyo's lasted. I would recommend these tires to any Toyota Highlander owners who are frustrated with the Toyo OEM tires.

I don't know why the person with the Ford Taurus is complaining about winter weather traction. I have good results with winter weather...
I was a little reluctant to buy these tires. However, I was pleasantly surprised of their performance. I have an average increase of city fuel milage of 1 mpg and highway of 4 mpg. These tires have very little treadwear thus far. they are good all season tires. I don't know why the person with the Ford Taurus is complaining about winter weather traction. I have good results with winter weather. My only complaint is the strange ability of these tires picking up rocks/gravel. The tires constantly have small stones stuck in the treads. Maybe that is why I get decent ice traction?? Anyhow, I would recommend these tires for those that want to save a few dollars on fuel.

...Dry and wet traction is about the same as stock...
Replaced the stock Bridgestone Dueler HT 684 tires with GY Assurance Fuel Max CS. Can't say anything about long term wear yet, but the ride, smoothness and noise are much better than the stock tires. Steering is slightly lighter and not as direct feeling as the lighter/harder feeling stock tires, but turn-in is crisp. Dry and wet traction is about the same as stock. So far, all city use, so I have not noticed a change if MPG. However, I have noticed that my Pilot does seem to coast further/easier. Overall impression: very smooth, quite, refined tire.

...The handling of the tire on dry conditions is good. The tires handle well on curves as well...
My car currently has the Goodyear cs Assurance Fuel Max. The handling of the tire on wet roads, light snow and dry conditions is good. The tires handle well on curves as well. 4,000 miles or so ago, I have noticed major wear. I had higher expectation of the wear of the tires, but instead the tires are a major disappointment as they wore out faster than expected. I just had my car serviced at a dealership and was told I will need new tires in a few thousand miles. I have never had tires wear out so quickly that I recall. I would not recommend these tires, nor will I buy them again.

These tires are great on my SUV. I took this SUV from the State of West Virginia, to Orlando, Florida. These tires were great my 2010 Murano did not eat the gas. Tires will be put on again. The ride is like riding a Cadallic . Buy these tires, they are great.

...Much quieter and smoother than the Bridgestone Dueler's that they replaced...
One thing that I've found when reading tire reviews is to pay attention to the type of vehicle the reviewer is driving. I've seen tires get terrible reviews when installed on a passenger car, but get great reviews when installed on something like an SUV or minivan.
That being said, my experience with the Assurance Fuel Max (245/55-19) has been outstanding to date. Much quieter and smoother than the Bridgestone Dueler's that they replaced. No chance to drive in snow or ice, but with in the weather that I normally see here in Texas these tires have performed beautifully. If they continue with their existing performance I'll definitely buy another set of these when the time comes.

Bought these tire to get better gas mileage which really didn't change 22 mpg but the treadwear as been exceptional they have 73k and will go for another 15k at 6/32 right now. The tires tend to capture pebbles into the treads which may cause the tires to last longer and increase road noise...
Bought these tire to get better gas mileage which really didn't change 22 mpg but the treadwear as been exceptional they have 73k and will go for another 15k at 6/32 right now. The tires tend to capture pebbles into the treads which may cause the tires to last longer and increase road noise. The original OEM Tire's lasted at 55k and had a blow out. These tires never hydroplane which is usually what the roads in NewEngland have is water on them after the salt, slush or snow and they have performed great. I will repurchase these tires again from dealer. Great value and great price. I also like the triple treads but these tires have been great.

I installed on F150 pick up. I am very impressed with this tire. First I actually seen an increase of 1.2 MPG. Tire is very quiet and stable when towing or loading the truck. Might be a little too firm for a cross over but a light truck or SUV this tire is great. I replaced a set of Micheline tires and these are much better. The wear is also excellent.

...We are now at +/- 39k on the Goodyears, and we have vast tread left. So, at least on this virtue, the treadwear warranty and description was very accurate...
Great treadwear; horrible, terrible, no good road noise. It is woob, woob woob all the time. Radio is needed to drown them out. These Goodyear Fuel Max were replacement tires for the Toyo OEM. Finding 19" replacement tires is tough; we went for these because of the supposed fuel savings. Result=no fuel savings. If anything, they degraded fuel economy. However, the Toyos made it 30k miles at most, and they were virtually bare at 30k. We are now at +/- 39k on the Goodyears, and we have vast tread left. So, at least on this virtue, the treadwear warranty and description was very accurate. However, as noted, they are noisy as all --------, and I cannot stand them. If I had spare cash just laying around, I would replace these noisy POS in a heartbeat. But, not having spare cash, and having lots of tread life left, I unfortunately will be suffering these dogs for quite some time. Get a different tire, unless tread is the only item you are shopping for.

Head2Head Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE63 S Hot Lap (03:55)
Motor Trend Head 2 Head's Randy Pobst and Tire Rack's Matt Edmonds brought the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE63 S to Big Willow - where SUVS aren't the norm - to see what it can do on the track. With its big engine and enormous brakes and Continental ContiSportContact 5P tires, it should be an interesting ride.
