Technical details

Technical details

Outstanding braking performance in both wet and dry conditions.

3D grooves optimise braking performance in both wet and dry conditions. The even pressure distribution ensures very short braking distances.

Excellent resistance to aquaplaning.

Due to an increased number of tread blocks and an open inner shoulder, water is dispersed more efficiently. The harmonious round shape of the ground contact patch provides excellent protection against aquaplaning.

Precise handling and unbeatable driving stability.

The asymmetric tread pattern stiffens the tire shoulder and provides optimum road contact.

Rating for the ContiPremiumContactTM 2: "Test winner"

The test editors praised the product's refined structure, which demonstrated high grip and safe brake performance on both wet and dry asphalt. In their summary, the experts noted the "superior wet properties" and "top dry performance" of the Continental tyres. The editors tested ten products in all in the 205/55 R 16 V size class, used for a variety of compact and mid-sized passenger cars. Competitive products with low rolling resistance once again suffered multiple weaknesses in braking on wet roads.

EU Tire Label

EU tire label

  • Wet grip:

    Secure grip in wet conditions is crucial for safe driving. Performance is graded into classes, A to G (although D and G are not currently used). The stopping distance between a class A tire and a class F tire can be as much as 18 metres.

  • Fuel efficiency:

    Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tires deliver the best fuel efficiency, with each subsequent class through to G increasing fuel consumption by between 0.42 and 0.56 mpg for a car which does 36 mpg.

  • Rolling noise:

    This is the external noise made by the tire and is measured in decibels. The more filled bars shown on the label, the louder the tires.
