About Continental ContiSportContact 5 SUV 265/45 R21 108W JLR

Wet-Road Performance

The ContiSportContact 5 SUV uses a performance-oriented tread design developed to maintain effective contact with wet and dry paved surfaces. The exact 265/45 R21 108W JLR specification carries an A wet-grip rating, indicating the highest category in the EU tyre-label system.

Wet Braking

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

Dry-Road Handling

The 265 mm section width provides a broad contact area, while the 45-series profile is designed to support responsive steering and stable cornering on large SUVs. The reinforced XL construction provides a 1,000 kg maximum load rating per tyre, while the W speed rating permits speeds up to 270 km/h under the applicable conditions.

Ride Comfort and Noise

The 45-series profile provides a balance between the handling requirements of a 21-inch SUV application and everyday road comfort. The specified tyre has an external rolling-noise rating of 73 dB. Actual cabin noise can vary according to road surface, vehicle insulation, suspension condition and tyre pressure.

Rolling Resistance

The available EU tyre-label data for the exact 265/45 R21 108W XL JLR specification lists a B fuel-efficiency rating. This provides a standardized indication of rolling resistance and should not be interpreted as a direct prediction of real-world fuel consumption.

Summer Road Use

The ContiSportContact 5 SUV 265/45 R21 108W JLR is a summer tyre intended for paved-road driving in warmer conditions. It is not a dedicated winter tyre and should not be substituted for a certified winter specification when severe winter conditions require one.

Load Capacity

The 108 load index corresponds to a maximum rated load of 1,000 kg per tyre under the applicable operating conditions. The XL construction provides the reinforced load capability required for this SUV application.

W Speed Rating

The W speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 270 km/h. This rating must be considered together with the 108 load index, correct inflation pressure and Jaguar or Land Rover's approved vehicle specifications.

Vehicle Compatibility

The JLR homologation identifies this specification as approved for Jaguar and Land Rover applications. It is associated with vehicles such as the Land Rover F-PACE, but exact compatibility depends on the vehicle model, generation, axle position and manufacturer's approved tyre specification.
