Description
The Continental ContiSportContact 5 SUV (MO) is a high-performance, premium tyre for SUVs, featuring an asymmetrical tread design for enhanced wet and dry grip and stability, and developed with Continental’s Black Chilli compound for shorter braking distances, reduced rolling resistance, better fuel efficiency, and longer tyre life. The “(MO)” designation signifies Mercedes-Benz Original fitment, often indicating specific technologies like run-flat (MOE or SSR) for extended mobility after a puncture. Key benefits include excellent handling, powerful grip for cornering, and the potential for reduced CO² emissions.
Key Features & Technologies
- Asymmetrical Tread Design:A mixed tread pattern on the outer and inner edges provides excellent grip on both wet and dry roads.
- This innovative compound offers a blend of short-chain and long-chain polymers for optimal energy absorption during braking and reduced rolling resistance at speed, leading to shorter stopping distances, better fuel efficiency, and longer tread life.
- This technology increases driving stability and responsiveness.
- The large outer shoulder blocks provide an increased contact area with the road, adapting well to surfaces and improving grip for confident cornering.
- “MO” stands for Mercedes-Benz Original, and “MOE” or “SSR” indicates a run-flat tyre. These self-supporting sidewalls prevent the tyre from being crushed and coming off the rim after a puncture, providing extended mobility.
Benefits
- Exceptional Safety:Delivers very short braking distances in all weather conditions for maximum safety.
- Superior Handling:Offers impressive handling and steering precision, adapted for high-performance vehicles.
- Enhanced Performance:Improves grip when accelerating and cornering, providing a more sporty and confident driving experience.
- Better Fuel Efficiency:Reduced rolling resistance contributes to lower fuel consumption and reduced CO² emissions.
- Increased Ride Comfort:Notched intermediate rib technology increases ride comfort.
- Space and Peace of Mind:Run-flat technology (if fitted) removes the need for a spare tyre, saving weight and freeing up boot space.
