Anyone have experience with ContiSportContact 5
ContiSportContact 5 Contiseal
It appears to be one of the only other options for the SQ5 21" 255/40-21 stock size.
The OE Dunlops were ok, but hoping for something better.
The Contiseal system looks interesting but I'm curious about any balance issues or anything like that.
Only reviews I could find were in UK on non-similar vehicles.

Thank you for the response on CSC3 I've had other Continentals as well and they have been pretty good.

My wife's E63S Estate came with ContiSportContact 5P's. I'm not sure what the difference is to the "Contiseal". However, the 5P's are quiet, have good dry grip (in AZ we don't get much rain or snow and we use the SQ5 in inclement weather) and fairly long wear (considering the car has 577HP and 590 lb-ft of torque). They are wearing evenly (in spite of some pretty hard driving - street, not track) and at 14K miles they still have a couple thousand miles to go before they hit the treadwear indicators. We will replace them with the same tire. Hope this helps a bit.

The ContiSportContact 5 Contiseal in 255/40-21 on TireRack actually looks like it is for the beastly Rolls-Royce Ghost or Wraith but also load specs ok for the SQ5.
