Decent tyres, decent price tag as well – Bought these tyres 2 years ago from bob jane. Got it with promotion of buy 3 get extra 1 which make it a decent price. My tyre still have plenty thread left since new, probably like 60% with regular rotation. I drive a mitsu lancer and feel pretty happy with its performance and life span. Traction in wet condition is good, havent had any wheel… Read more

spin while driving on wet or uphill.

Would buy this set again if only theres promotion or decent price otherwise i will probably go for the well known potenza.

Best Tyres Ever! – Started with Bridgestone's on my camry, they were slippery, noisy and wore down way too fast. Originally I wanted Kumo's however the store ran out of them and Continental was a second option. Have had the Continental's for 3 months now and think they are the best! My car handles better and grips to the road, I am consuming less petrol and the quality is awesome!  Show details

Good quality, comfortable ride – I purchased these upon a high recommendation from a consumer association that I am a member of. The tyres were rated highly in lab tests. I have purchased this model of tyres several times for several different vehicles and have not been disappointed. I am very happy with the new set on my second hand Corolla. Very comfortable and very quiet tyres. They also hold the air pressure very well. Overall extremely happy again with these tyres.  Show details

Good price with middle performance – The continental conti comfort contact 5 is definitely good for daily using, the price is not that high compared to those performance tyres like Michelin pilot sport, and the performance is not that good as those perfomance tyres too. The life for these tyres is limited, you may change it around 15000KM depends where you live and the conditon of the road. But it still a budget tyre.  Show details

Nothing but praise – I bought my tyres second hand and used from a guy who hated these tyres. He had nothing good to say about these tyres. I fitted these to my VW Golf as a very cheap option as I was tight strapped for cash. May I say..... I didnt expect much but boy was I in for a surprise. The tyres performed perfectly. I was amazed with the grip of these tyres. I… Read more

went as far as to test them at high speed around corners and they gripped as good as the Yokohama 352 with the A pattern tread. Wear has been excellent and killing these tyres are next to impossible. Admittedly I did get a nail in one but that was an easy fix for me at home. I am due to buy new tyres as Im down to the wear replacement mark. I am curious to see what brand new ones will handle like. I can only imagine they are going to keep impressing me. I have nothing but praise for this tyre and brand and keep in mind I have been a Yokohama and Michelin fan for years and previously wouldnt stray from these brands. Im glad I was tight strapped for cash at the time as it introduced me to a wonderful alternative in tyres.

You get what you pay for – I have 47 years driving experience and have owned about 30 different cars and trucks. I have driven all conditions, including snow and ice, in more than one country. These tires were Original Equipment on my 2003 Mercedes-Benz E500 This is the third set of Continental tyres I have driven on, in two different manufacturer vehicles. I find they… Read more

have very reasonable lifespan, they handle well on unsealed roads, icy paved roads and in a modest amount of snow, which requires light touch on the accelerator pedal and an awareness of torque-induced and centrifugal force directional changes, etc. The tires are quiet. The tires can easily handle aggressive driving style on curves holding well within one's own traffic lane. Though I check my tyre pressures once a month, I have found these tyres hold air better than any other tyre brand I have owned. I have experienced no purported sidewall cracking and no bubbles, which are most often caused by incorrect installation of a tyre which tears the tyre bead allowing air to leak between the lamination, which I experienced in 1981 with a set of Pirelli tyres. There are a lot of disparaging reviews and remarks about Continental Tyres. Consider the source and their driving style. Do burnouts and doughnuts, don't regularly check your tyre pressures, have them installed by someone unqualified to hammer a nail, and what would you expect.

Quick Wearing and poorly constructed – I Brought a pair of these CC5 on my BA Falcon a while back. I was initially impressed with there grip, until I realized i had a bubble on the sidewall of my tyre (the tyre was on my car for less than 3000km). I have never hit something with these tyres at all. However, Continental and JAX beg to differ and insisted that I did hit something. This… Read more

shouldn't happen on a expensive tyre!

I have driven on cheap hard compound Sava, to top of the line Michelin and have not ones experience any impact fracture on any other brand of tyres I have owned, beside these Continental CC5.

After some arguing with JAX, they replaced the impact fracture tyre with another CC5 at a wholesale cost (Really annoying to begin with, since I wasn't working at the time and was dealing with some health problems). However, the thing that really annoys me the most is that by the time I've done 25,000km on these CC5, they need to be replaced! Yes you heard right, 25,000km!

I was so annoyed at these Contintenal, I went and got some Bridgestone Ecopia EP100 and had much better experience with these make and model of tyres (while surprisingly getting better fuel economy at the same time).

If your looking for a tyre to place on your grandparents car who only do a few thousand km, then these are the tyre to get! However, for the majority of us, look elsewhere.

Last only 7 months – Shocked why a very good brand name with good company reputation produces tyre that only lasts 7 months with less than 25000 km distance. I have no problem with the grip during wet and dry road conditions but wear and tear lifespan is short. Acceptable noice produced by the tyre while rolling.  Show details

54,000 km and still going strong – Hi, I have had these tyres on my holden zv berlina since October 2012 and I cannot fault these tyres in any way. Most of my driving is on the freeway doing 100km . I have traveled over 54,000 km on the tyres and they still have plenty of tread left I would expect a least another 10,000 km/h before having to look into buying new set of tyres. They… Read more

are incredibly quite and offer excellent grip and handling in both wet and dry.I have had the tyres rotated every 10.000 km so as to maintain even wear. Before buying these tyres I looked into getting Michelin ( also a very good tyre) , as I always heard that Michelin was the better tyre, when I asked several tyre retails why Michelin is the better tyre there answer was ( o they just are, not really a answer). When time comes to buy a new set of tyres I will be looking at the continental again. PS in fact I was so impressed with the tyres I purchased a set of second hand ( 90% thread ) continental cc5 for my wife's pulsar,

Quiet af – I'm a musician that drives everywhere. Long/short trips, been on lots of different roads/surfaces. Put a set on my Commodore VX April 2013. And they're still going!! Checked the 'tread marker' and they'll be due soon but they still have plenty of miles left in them. I remember doing research on this tyre and liked their performance in the rain… Read more

and noise level.

The FIRST thing I remember noticing as soon as I drove off was the noise level. I couldn't believe how quiet they were. Sooo damn quiet. I spend a lot of time on freeways and that helps, especially after a loud gig.

I've just put a set on my partner's 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid. (Her old tyres were Michelin Primacy LC. Incredible tyre but $$$. Quality costs, I get it.) Will be interesting to see how the Hybrid handles the CC5...

PRICE: April 2013 approx. $420 (4 tyres fitted+balanced, wheel alignment)

October 2016 was $500 (4 tyres fitted+balanced, wheel alignment)

Tires worn out in 12 months (less than 25,000km – Folks, from brand new they are quiet, great in the wet, brake well and ride very well. Fantastic tire. The only thing is that they wear out faster than any other tire I have ever used. Note - the tires are on a Hyundai i30 diesel, so no it is not a performance car used for drifting, just used for general commuting to and from work. Would I… Read more

recommend them? Sure, if wear was not a concern. Yes I have maintained good tire pressures and rotated them on a regular basis. But whoa, they wear out fast. Ill be going back to the Hankooks that came with the car from the factory, they lasted over 2 years and were pretty good actually.

Fast wear poor life – Set is worn out at 22700km, never had a set of tyres that went less than 45000km, dont buy this brand. Spend your money elsewhere... Pretty crap for a lady driver and a car that only does the school pick up run... Car rarely goes over 60km/hr, would hate to sear the waer life if was driven aggressively.  Show details

Quiet acheiver – Excellent tyres that are super quiet with very good grip wet or dry. They are also a reasonable price. I had trouble replacing my previous Yokohama Cdrive2 tyres that I was very happy with because they no longer made them in 195/60/15 and I am relieved to find something that has the performance I was after. Thanks Bob Jane at Ringwood and Continental  Show details

Twelve Month and 15000Km and had to be replaced – Considering the reputation of these tyres, their extraordinarily short life in time and distance was very disappointing. Being on a Toyota Yaris automatic, a small car with low power it is difficult to comprehend how they could perform so poorly. They were rotated by the retailer at 12000Km but the ware continued at the same pace.  Show details

Early days but so far VERY good – Got tyres fitted to my Skoda Superb in July 2016 for a buy 4 pay 3 promo at Jax, after previously having Pirelli Rosso Neros, Bridgestone MY02 and Nokian tyres. Initial impressions are very good in relation to steering response and noise levels. New tyres, so last days rain behavior is good. Driving style is conservative as fitting to a large… Read more ·  1

sedan, so all good. Jax service south of Sydney was good, but as with any wheel alignment keep an eye out so they straighten the steering wheel. Last 4 whee alignments (all with different tyre fitters) all have same problem, so maybe the training standards for wheel alignments are slipping.

Very happy – I had Bridgestone trunza and happy with that but conti comfort had a deal 4 for price 3. After some study i took this offer for my tarago. I'm very very happy with the performance specifically wet grip, cornering. Its smooth and well handling. Will buy again. It was cheap as well if i compare with Bridgestone.  Show details

Best tires ever used – Had a set fitted at Bob Jane Haberfield 2mths ago after doing my research on Choice and other sites. Worn in now and have turned out a great investment. Great all round grip and very quiet. Would rate as one of the best tires i have ever used. Would highly recommend.  Show details

Down to the ground reliable – Great tyres..Just had a full set fitted to my wives Hyundai i30. Grip to the road is awesome, and there seems alot less road noise than the previous Kumho set. Great price and great service from Bob Jane T-Mart. Have had the chnace to do alot of driving on them yet, but if early signs are anything to go bu, I'm certainly going to love them.  Show details

Peace at last – Just bought 4 CC5's for my Honda Accord Luxury 3.5 ltr V6. Had Michellin MCV80 and Bridgestone Tuaranza in the past. The selling point for me is the wet weather grip and most of all the sound. These are quiet, in fact the quietest I have ever had. Very sticky and quite soft. Great allround tyre, will buy again.  Show details

Great cruising tyre – I do a lot of country driving on a mixture of road surfaces, so noise and ride quality is important for me. After reading reviews on various tyres I had 4 Conti Comfort 5 tyres fitted. The improvement was staggering! On the freeway I travel, there is a section of road that is unusually quiet that I always noticed, but now I don't as almost all… Read more

road surfaces are just as quiet. The wind noise is now more of a factor than the road noise. The car also rides a lot smoother and not just a little bit.

I mostly just use this car for cruising, so can't comment on the grip under stress, but I would highly recommend these tyres.

Exspensive Tires – Have just replaced set of Goodyear Efficient Grip with Continental CC5. First drive a noticeable difference and not in favour of Continentals. The ride isn't a smooth and a lot more jittery. Grip is similar however noise has increased. For the premium price, I'm not sure that Continentals are worth it.  Show details

Thumbs up – Awesome tires. Drove them past the markers to hell and back and they didn't even budge at it. Got over 70 K out of them without even getting a wheel alignment , was a small car though (Swift). Marginally behind Dunlop SP01 but one of the best, would buy again for the price.  Show details

Excellent! – Bought 4 new tyres for our 2001 Mazda 626 as 2 were shot and 1 would be by the time our pink slip was due, leaving the 4th existing tyre to be our new spare. Major difference in the handling, noise and comfort but the main difference is cornering. Roundabouts are a breeze now. Replaced and old Bridgestone (can't remember the type) and three no… Read more

name brand, so it was always a step up but I'm very impressed so far (been 10 months) and will be going with ContiComforts after these run out.

Great tyres! Noticable improvement to road noise and smoothness – Changed from Goodyear to ContiComforts, they made our car noticeably quieter at highway speeds and have a smoother overall feel. Despite the improvements the car feels no less secure on the road. The Continental tyres are in my opinion well worth the little extra retail price. And they were 3 for price of 4 at the time. My first set of premium tyres and I don't think I will ever go back to mid range tyres in future.  Show details

Very impressed with these tyres! – One week ago, I changed all 4 tyres on my 2005 Toyota Corolla, from Toyo Teo Plus to Continental Conti ComfortContact CC5 tyres. I was very happy with Toyo Teo Plus for the last 90,000kms. I switched to CC5 after reading some good reviews. I am now very happy with CC5 for its quiet ride. With Toyo Teo Plus, I recorded 70dB at 80kph. With… Read more

CC5, I recorded 61dB at 80kph and 70dB at 100kph. With such low dB I have a much better driving experience. On my way to Melbourne Airport last week, I could hear more wind noise than road noise.

I did a sharp cornering and was also very happy with the grip on dry road. I have not tested on wet road yet.

Wow – I changed my tires to these after reading a lot of review. I was looking for the quietest and the most comfortable tyre for my 2013 Yaris. Originally I had bridgestone ecopia ep25. I noticed immediately that the tyre is definitely quieter than the original. Speed above 50km/h, I can feel that the ride is so much smoother, feels like floating… Read more

compared to the bridgestone. Steering is now much lighter, much easier to manuovre.

I definitely recommend these over brisgestone ecopia ep25 if you are looking for smoother and quieter ride. My yaris feels like been transformed to another vehicle

Wow. What a tyre – Purchased these to replace a set of Michelin XM2 on the front of my 06 Hyundai Getz & WOW I was very impressed by how much quieter they are than the Michelin XM2's. Not only are they quieter (especially at highway speeds) , the CC5's also have better steering feel, don't feel as spongy when cornering and the ride isn't as bumpy/rough either (I… Read more

run all of my tyres @ 34psi), I haven't driven wit them in the rain yet but I'm confident that they'll do well.

My only gripe is that the treadwear rating is only 360 to the Michelins 420.

I bought these because I wanted to see if there was a better tyre to replace the XM2's from another well known brand, so far, the gamble seems to have paid off.

I don't really care that these Conti's are MADE IN CHINA, QC is still done by the Germans.

Quiet tyre – I recently purchased a 2013 Skoda Octavia 90TSI, and noticed a problem when driving the car at speeds between 80 to 100 km/h on coursed chipped country roads. The problem was intrusive tyre & road noise that was entering the cabin. The tyres on my car were 205/60/15 Bridgestone Turanza ER300 tyres. I decided to search the internet for information… Read more

on tyres, and after contacting various tyre dealers for their opinions, I ended up replacing the Bridgestone tyres for a set of Continental ComfortContact5 tyres. These Continental tyres were definitely quieter, and worth the money, but there was still some tyre/road noise entering the cabin – but less than before. Regarding the handling & braking aspect of the car, the conti comfort tyres were not as good as the bridgestones, ie; the steering is not as responsive, and the conti's are not as stable on the road at highway speeds. It is a trade-off I accepted for a quieter cabin. Quiet while acceptable, not the best handling or braking tyres around

Very disappointed, all the driving enjoyment of re-treads – I purchased these for a small suv as a set of 4 with the express purpose to improve grip in both wet and dry conditions. As they were replacing 6 year old generic Australian made tyres i presumed a dynamic gain was a assured, how deflating to get exactly what you're after yet left feeling flat. The tyres perform as expected in heavy braking in… Read more

both wet and dry conditions but scrub at a hint of a corner and track poorly on the straight ahead. Wet weather braking I had a flat that was caused by a stone piercing the tyre tread at it's thickest point.
