    Opinion from outside IE

    In my opinion, a great tire, holding well in the corners, with a steep side. On the wet there is a small problem with the brakes, but it is much better than conccurentiels tires. When it comes to the rate of wear I made 50,000. km and I had to replace the front because they were completely worn out because of my driving style :) It nevertheless remained 4 mm of tread. I highly recommend this tire! Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside IE

    I already bought Continental ContiSportContact 3 for the second time. Once again I'm very satisfied. Best tyres I ever had. In the past I used to test tyres on some big empty space, like empty parkings for instance, just to check how they performs when it comes to drive fast and turn immedietely for example. I'm not proffesional race driver but for sure I'm experienced one. I didn't do it for some time but I decided to test this Continental model like that, so I did. Excellent tyre I have to say. I didn't know what high quality tyre it is when I had my first set of them. After my test I realized what premium class really means nowadays. Perfect grip and traction. Stunning control on the vehicle for the whole time. If tyre can handle some crazy manovers like that it means it is really safe for everyday use and this is the most important for me personally. I can recommend this model with any doubt. Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside IE

    I'm surprised that this model is not produced any more. There is next generation of this but I'm a big fan on Continental ContiSportContact 3 and I'm really happy that it is still possible to get them. I used them on the track, during many travels on curvy roads and for everyday use as well. They are still in good condition afer so many miles of not always calm driving. Perfect grip on dry asphalt. Great control when speeding. If it will be still possible I will buy this model once again in the future for sure. Recommended for everybody who likes fast driving. Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside IE

    This is my second set of Continental tyres and first one of this particular model. I drove about 6000 miles on them now. Continental ContiSportContact 3 performs ideally on dry surface. Braking and tracktion (two the most important attributes for me) are excellent. I had no opportunity to test them on some heavy weather conditions to be honest but I'm quite sure that there would be no problems. Maybe it is not the most significant thing but I like the way how the tread pattern looks like. I further recommend. Read more Collapse

The Continental ContiSportContact 3 is a summer tyre designed for premium-range passenger cars. "Extremely sporty and uncompromising on safety” is how its manufacturers describe it.

The Continental ContiSportContact 3 has an asymmetric tread pattern, which minimises the risk of skidding on wet surfaces, whilst innovative tread ribs ensure driving stability and outstanding performance on dry surfaces. The use of the appropriate compound muffles tyre noise, increasing driving comfort.
