About Continental ContiSportContact 5 285/40 R22 106Y MO

Wet-Road Performance

The ContiSportContact 5 uses a performance-oriented asymmetric tread design intended to maintain effective road contact during wet and dry driving. The exact 285/40 R22 106Y MO specification carries an A wet-grip rating, indicating the highest EU wet-grip category.

Wet Braking

The A wet-grip classification provides a strong standardized indication of wet-braking performance for this tyre specification. Actual braking distance depends on road surface, tyre condition, inflation pressure, vehicle weight and driving conditions.

Dry-Road Handling

The 285 mm section width provides a broad contact area, while the 40-series profile supports responsive steering and stable cornering. The 106 load index corresponds to a maximum rated load of 950 kg per tyre, while the Y speed rating corresponds to speeds up to 300 km/h under the applicable conditions.

Ride Comfort and Noise

The 40-series profile is designed primarily around high-speed road handling and steering response. The exact 285/40 R22 106Y MO specification is listed with an external rolling-noise level of 74 dB. Although the ContiSportContact 5 family includes Continental technologies associated with noise reduction, ContiSilent is not confirmed as a standard feature on this exact 106Y MO specification.

Rolling Resistance

The available EU tyre-label information lists a D fuel-efficiency rating for the exact 285/40 R22 106Y MO specification. This is a standardized rolling-resistance classification and does not directly represent real-world fuel consumption.

Summer Road Use

The ContiSportContact 5 285/40 R22 106Y MO is a summer tyre designed for paved-road driving in warmer conditions. It is not intended to replace a dedicated winter tyre where severe winter conditions require certified winter equipment.

Load Capacity

The 106 load index corresponds to a maximum rated load of 950 kg per tyre under the applicable operating conditions. This specification is listed as Standard Load rather than XL, so the vehicle manufacturer's approved load requirement should always be checked before installation.

Y Speed Rating

The Y speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 300 km/h. The rating must be considered together with the 106 load index, correct inflation pressure and the vehicle manufacturer's approved specifications.

Vehicle Compatibility

The MO marking identifies this specification as homologated for Mercedes-Benz applications. Exact vehicle compatibility depends on the model, generation, axle position and the tyre size and service description approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
