Products for Car / Van / 4x4
In case of an increased load, the tire's contact with the ground widens, resulting in short braking distances and excellent cornering stability.
By linking together certain elements, the tire achieves steering precision and optimum traction for fun driving.
A special compound used within the tire ensures excellent grip and low rolling resistance.
The wet grip rating indicates how well the tire will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to class E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.
Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tires deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing for each subsequent class through to E.
This is the external rolling noise generated by the tire, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A to C.
In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tires only).
With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tires.
