The ContiSportContact 3 is Continental Tire's Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of powerful sports cars, sports coupes and luxury sedans. The ContiSportContact 3 is designed to combine outstanding braking capability and agile steering precision. Like all summer tires, the Continental ContiSportContact 3 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
ContiSportContact 3 tires feature an asymmetric design with solid tread blocks and a continuous rib on the outboard shoulder to improve responsiveness and cornering stability, while continuous intermediate ribs provide constant rubber-to-road contact to reduce noise and control the longitudinal forces experienced when braking. The continuous circumferential tread grooves help disperse water to resist hydroplaning and their asymmetrically angled walls further stabilize the tread ribs, increasing steering precision and reducing deformation while cornering. The notched shoulder blocks on the inboard portion enhance wet weather traction.
The tire's structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by nylon to stabilize the tread area and enhance handling as well as high-speed capability.

Este diseño, mejora la respuesta al comando del conductor y la estabilidad al tomar curvas, a la vez un segmento continuo intermedio, provee contacto constante con la carretera, reduciendo el ruido y controlando la fuerza longitudinal causada por la acción de frenar. Las ranuras continuas circunferenciales ayudan a dispersar el agua y resistir el deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning), además sus paredes asimétricas angulares, estabilizan más la banda de rodamiento aumentando la precisión al girar y reduciendo la deformación al tomar curvas. Los bloques con muescas en el hombro interno aumenta la tracción sobre superficies mojadas.
La estructura del ContiSportcontact 3 incluye correas gemelas de acero reforzadas con nailon, para estabilizar el área interna de la banda de rodamiento y mejorar la maniobrabilidad y la capacidad del neumático a velocidades elevadas.
