The Bottom Line
The ContiSportContact 5 SSR SUV is well-suited for SUV drivers seeking strong wet and dry performance without sacrificing too much in handling. However, those looking for a quieter, more comfortable ride may want to consider alternatives like the Yokohama ADVAN Sport.
Important Note
Lack of a treadwear mileage warranty could be a downside for those concerned about long-term durability and replacement costs.
Pros
- Wet grip score of 9 ensures strong performance in rainy conditions, giving it an edge over many competitors.
- Dry grip and handling both score 8, providing a balanced performance for spirited driving on dry roads.
- Treadwear rating of 280 is reasonable for an ultra-high-performance summer tire, though not exceptional.
Cons
- Comfort score of 6 may not satisfy drivers looking for a smooth ride, especially on rougher surfaces.
- Noise level at 6.5 could be a concern for those who prioritize a quieter cabin experience.
