OVERVIEW

The Continental ContiSportContact 5 (MO) is a high performance summer tire made for passenger vehicles.

This model is marked with the MO rating, which means it is a Mercedes-Benz Original model and it was manufactured to be used as the original equipment tire for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It was tested and approved by the vehicle manufacturer to bring out the maximum performance abilities of the Mercedes-Benz vehicles, as it is the highest quality tire on the tire market.

The tire has excellent summer weather traction. It grips the road well in dry and wet weather conditions, but it will not perform well in the colder winter weather as it loses its traction in lower temperatures. The tire's wide circumferential tread grooves provide additional safety, as they channel the water from below the footprint, resisting hydroplaning in the process. The tire provides a safer driving experience this way.

The lower rolling resistance also enhances the tire's performance. The Black Chilli tire compound keeps the tire cooler for longer, reducing its rolling resistance. The lowered rolling resistance lessens the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This makes the tire both environmentally friendly and economic.

The center rib in the tread pattern offers an improved steering precision. The tire maintains constant road contact which enhances its steering accuracy and response time. The precise steering allows the driver to respond to the differing road conditions quickly. The tire responds to the commands of the driver more swiftly and precisely, which makes the driving both safer and easier.

The Black Chilli tire compound used in the manufacture of the ContiSportContact 5 (MO) enhances its braking and cornering ability. The compound builds up heat at the moment of braking, which shortens the braking distance of the tire, while it also provides additional biting edges in cornering and maneuvering situations, enhancing the cornering ability and power. All of these factors combines make the drive safer for the driver and passengers.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
