A good fit if you

  • Warm weather grip, responsive steering, and performance handling — what summer tires are built for.
  • Drivers who already swap to a dedicated winter set when temperatures drop below 7°C.
  • Factory fitments or vehicles that specifically require XL-rated tires.
  • Electric vehicles, where battery weight, instant torque, and road noise put extra demands on the tire.

Think twice if you need

  • Winter driving — summer tires harden in the cold and won’t satisfy Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
  • Anyone who wants one set of tires to cover all four seasons in Ontario or Quebec.

Quick Specs

  • Size: 285/40R22
  • Brand / Model: Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance
  • Season: Summer
  • Vehicle Type: Passenger
  • EV Compatible: Yes
  • Load / Speed: 110Y (Load index 110 supports up to 1060 kg per tire; speed rating Y rated up to 300 km/h)
  • Certifications: XL (Extra Load)
  • Delivery (Ontario & Quebec): Free shipping • 1–3 business days (Ontario and Quebec)

285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance

XL (Extra Load) — built to handle higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load tire of the same size.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load index 110 means each tire can carry up to 1060 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
  • Speed rating Y is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 300 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
  • UTQG 240 AA A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
  • Summer tires are built for maximum warm-weather grip — dry and wet roads where compound stickiness and tread design matter most. They harden in near-freezing temperatures and are not suitable for Ontario or Quebec winter driving.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
  • EV Compatible means the tire is designed with electric vehicle demands in mind — higher load capacity for battery weight, reinforced sidewalls for EV torque, and compound choices that balance rolling resistance and road noise.
  • Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.

Where this tire fits in

The 285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance is a summer tire, built around a 285 mm section width for a 22-inch wheel.

In practical terms, this size gives you a 40-series sidewall of about 114 mm paired with a 22-inch wheel diameter — confirm this against your current tire’s sidewall marking before ordering.

Worth noting on the spec side: this tire carries an XL extra load rating, load index 110 and speed rating Y (~300 km/h), UTQG 240 AA A when provided by the manufacturer.

About the 285/40R22 tire size

The 285/40R22 breaks down into three numbers:

  • 285 — tread width in millimetres, measured across the contact patch
  • 40 — sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width (roughly 114 mm of rubber between road and rim)
  • R22 — radial construction, for a 22-inch wheel

The 285/40R22 size is commonly found on performance vehicles and heavy duty trucks. Replacing a set? The full size marking is on your current tire’s sidewall — confirm width, profile, and rim diameter all match before you order.

Common questions — 285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance Summer

What does the 285/40R22 tire size mean?

Break it down and 285/40R22 tells you three things: the tread is 285 mm wide, the sidewall stands at 40% of that — about 114 mm of rubber between road and rim — and it fits a 22-inch wheel. You’ll find this size most often on performance vehicles and heavy duty trucks.

Is the 285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance a Summer tire?

Yes — the 285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance is categorized as a Summer tire.

What does the 110Y rating mean on the 285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance?

The 110Y on the Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance breaks into two numbers: load index 110, meaning each tire carries up to 1060 kg, rated to approximately 300 km/h; and speed rating Y, rated to 300 km/h under proper load and inflation. Your door jamb placard lists the minimum ratings your vehicle requires — match or exceed both.

Is the 285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance 3PMS rated?

No — the Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance doesn’t carry the 3PMS symbol. If Quebec winter compliance or severe snow traction is a priority, you’d want a tire that does.

Studdable status is not confirmed for this tire. Reach out and we’ll check the manufacturer specs for you.

Does the 285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance support run flat driving?

No — the Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance is a standard tire, not a run flat. If your vehicle came equipped with run flats, your replacement set needs to be run flat-capable too.

Is the 285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance an XL (extra load) tire?

Yes — the Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance is XL rated. It’s designed for higher inflation pressures and greater load capacity than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your current tires are XL, your replacement should be too.

Speed rating Y on the Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance corresponds to a maximum sustained speed of 300 km/h under proper load and inflation. In practice, this tells you the performance category the tire is built for — not a number to chase on public roads.

Can I order the 285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance with delivery to Ontario or Quebec?

Yes — we ship the 285/40R22 Continental ContiSportContact 6 – Performance across Ontario and Quebec. Free shipping • 1–3 business days (Ontario and Quebec).
