Continental ContiSportContact 3

OVERVIEW

The Continental ContiSportContact 3 (J) is a high performance summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This specific tire is marked with J as it is the original equipment of Jaguar vehicles. This model is for the rear axle position.

The tire is noted with ‘N0’ on its sidewall, which means that it was made as an original equipment tire for Porsche. The tire passed rigorous tests and was approved by Porsche’s laboratory. The number after the letter N signifies the first approved model of the ContiSportContact 3 tire if it is a 0 and the second one if the number is 1. This tire is recommended by Porsche for its vehicles. Tires noted with N0 or N1 bring out the maximum performing capability of the car they are used on and offer excellent high speed stability.

This model performs well in dry and wet weather conditions and it grips the road well in summer weather. The superb traction is the result of the silica enhanced tire compound used in the manufacture of the tire. It is not recommended for use in winter weather conditions and in lower temperatures as the cold weather lowers the tire’s road gripping ability. The improved wet traction, along with the tread grooves offer better hydroplaning resistance in deep water, by channeling said water from below the footprint of the tire. This makes the tire safer to use in summer weather conditions.

The tire pattern’s customized and unique raised bands boost the steering precision and high speed stability of the tire. The asymmetric tread ribs absorb the driving force during high speed drives, when maneuvering and when the road surface changes. This results in constant road contact where the tire does not lose its excellent summer weather road grip. The steering precision becomes more accurate and it enables the driver to respond quickly to different situations.

The ContiSportContact 3 (J) offers a shorter braking distance. The tread design’s ribs improve the braking ability of the tire while also absorbing the forces created when braking. This shortens the braking distance and increase the safety of the tire in such situations. The low rolling resistance of the model, the remarkable traction and enhanced stability all contribute to the superior performing capability of the tire.

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.
