Technical details

Technical details

picture_details_grip

Superb grip performance on wintry and wet surfaces thanks to optimised Nordic Compound.

The new compound recipe based on environmental friendly rapeseed oil owns outstanding wet grip combined with excellent snow and ice properties.

picture_details_pattern

Perfect tracking stability under all wintry conditions.

The newly developed directional pattern design provides increased drainage and more grip in critical wet situations such as aquaplaning or slushplaning. Additionally the steering precision in extreme situations on icy, snowy, wet and dry roads has been improved.

picture_details_sipes

Powerful  traction and braking on icy and snowy roads as a result of advanced grip concept.

Due to the interaction of high numbers of 3D Trapez Sipes with different thickness and effective snow edges, the transmission of forces has been improved. The benefit: impressive traction and braking performance on icy and snowy roads.

The following technologies are available for this tire but not for each size. Please check here if one of these technolgies is available for your tire size.

ContiSeal

topic_intro_image1

ContiSeal™ is a technology developed by Continental designed to seal a damaged tire tread. In case of penetration by foreign objects such as nails, there is no need for immediate roadside tire changes, and holes remain sealed even if the puncturing object becomes dislodged. ContiSeal™ is a sticky, viscous sealant layer. It is applied to the inside of the tire in the tread area. ContiSeal™ seals 80% of all tire punctures and therefore reduces the risk of flat tires. ContiSeal™ tires are marked clearly with a symbol on the sidewall and are compatible with all commonly available rims.

ContiSilent

topic_intro_image1

ContiSilent™ is a tire noise-reducing technology developed by Continental. It is designed to reduce interior noise on all road surfaces. ContiSilent™ tires are equipped with an inner tire absorber, a polyurethane foam, attached to the inner surface of the tread area with an adhesive. Regardless of the temperature, the structure of the foam stays intact. ContiSilent™ helps reduce interior vehicle noise up to 9 dB(A), depending on the type of vehicle, its speed and the road surface.

SSR

topic_intro_image1

The SSR system is a runflat technology developed by Continental especially for low section tires, which still keeps the tires compatible with all standard rims. The SSR principle is based on a self-supporting reinforced sidewall. In case of a puncture, this prevents the sidewall from being crushed between the rim and the road, and the tire from slipping off the rim, which makes a spare tire obsolete. Not having to carry a spare tire means a reduction in weight, which improves fuel efficiency. It also adds up to 80 litres of free space in the trunk. Fitting on four positions is highly recommended, if not yet mandatory by law and a tire repair is not allowed.

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.
