Who it's for
BMW M3 and M4, Mercedes-AMG C63, Porsche 911 and Macan, Audi RS6, Range Rover Sport
Pros
- Outstanding wet and dry grip
- Stable under hard braking from high speed
- Progressive at the limit
Cons
- Short life on powerful rear-drive cars
- High price in 21–22 inch
Our verdict for UAE roads
A strong alternative to P Zero and Pilot Sport 5 for fast cars. Heat build-up is well controlled on long runs to Al Ain or Ras Al Khaimah.

If your Mercedes, BMW or Porsche came on Continental, check the sidewall for MO, star or N markings, and for ContiSilent (foam inside for EVs) or SSR (run-flat) labels, and buy the same version. UAE stock is made in Germany, Portugal, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Malaysia and China. A typical DOT code reads 2125, meaning week 21 of 2025. In summer, check pressure at least every two weeks, because hot-weather pressure loss affects wet braking later in the year.
