245/45R17 Continental ContiSportContact 5 – EV Compatible Performance Summer
Category: Summer – Supreme Performance
The Continental ContiSportContact 5 is a summer max performance tire. It offers a smooth, quiet ride and though it has excellent handling in dry and wet conditions, the ContiSportContact 5 is not designed to drive in icy or snowy environments.
What these tire specs mean
Load index 95 means each tire can carry up to 690 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
Speed rating W is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 270 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
UTQG 280 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.
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 245/45R17 Continental ContiSportContact 5 – EV Compatible Performance is a summer / summer – supreme performance tire, built around a 245 mm section width for a 17-inch wheel.

Worth noting on the spec side: this tire carries load index 95 and speed rating W (~270 km/h), UTQG 280 AA A when provided by the manufacturer.
About the 245/45R17 tire size

The 245/45R17 size is commonly found on light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers. 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.
