Unique tread design
ContiSportContact 2 has a strikingly clear tread design allowing no compromises. The asymmetrical pattern guarantees maximum ground adhesion in any driving situation. This is ensured by the closed outer shoulder section and the pronounced strips of tread rubber around the tyre's circumference. Another benefit of this tread design is that it delivers extremely precise steering response, both on bends taken at high speeds and when driving on the straight.
The circumferential tread strips are much stiffer than individual tread blocks. So Conti's tyre engineers were able to use a softer tread compound. By combining the solid tread strips with the soft compound, tyre mileage performance could be enhanced to a high level.
Innovative silica tread compound
For some years now, silica has been one of the standard ingredients of tread compounds for high-performance tyres in the premium segment.
Our ContiSportContact 2 tyre features a newly developed bionic compound. This tread compound consists of two perfectly harmonised networks a flexible one and a firm one. The flexible network ensures maximum transmission of forces between the tyre and road surface, while the firm network provides the necessary stiffness for precise handling performance, above all at high speeds.
Our customers benefit from the tyre's greater safety reserves during braking and cornering, as well as when driving on wet and dry surfaces.
Bionic contour (AMC)
Thanks to its bionic contour (Advanced Mould Concept), the ContiSportContact 2 achieves more uniform ground-pressure distribution and hence greater adhesion than its predecessor.
At the same time, the contour provides the largest possible ground contact area when the car is braking. This ensures a much shorter braking distance on wet and dry roads, and means more safety for the car occupants.

WHICH? Magazine (March 2004)
"I have driven this tyre on everything from a Porsche 911 to a 350bhp Ford Mustang at tracks as diverse as a soaking handling circuit and the home of the Spanish GP but whatever the conditions it remains mightily impressive. With powerful machines like these you need a progressive tyre that gives plenty of warning when the limit is being approached and the SportContact2 delivers in both dry and wet inspiring you to use all the performance available."
