Asymmetrical tread pattern.
On the new ContiWinterContactTM TS 810, enhanced edge characteristics on the middle and inside of the tire significantly improve the grip on snow.
In addition, the sipes of the asymmetrical tread pattern, which is an entirely new development, are 20% thicker on the inside of the tire.These sipes can take on much more snow and increase the traction due to greater snow-snow friction.
New kind of sipe spacer.
Innovative sipe spacers prevent the sipes from closing when in contact with the surface, making it possible to increase the amount of snow taken on by the sipes by roughly 20%, thus significantly improving traction and cornering stability on snow
Innovative compound technology.
With a new type of wet polymer, the new ContiWinterContactTM TS 810 performs better in the wet without compromising its performance in snow. Ultra-active carbon black in the tire compound noticeably enhances the driving stability. Tire life and long-term flexibility of the tread could be increased by reactive plasticizers in the tyre compound.
Tread for Optimum Wet-Road Handling.
The customized tread concept ensures the good wet-grip performance of the new ContiWinterContactTM tyres. To reduce the risk of aquaplaning, the number of circumferential grooves that absorb water during rainy weather has been adapted to the tire width. The ContiWinterContact TS 810 has three grooves, or on widths of 225 mm and larger, four grooves.
Winter Tread Wear Indicator (TWI).
Throughout the tread on the tire there are several tread wear indicators that show the remaining tread depth.
Technologies
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.
ContiSeal and other technologies apply to selected product range.
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.
