Outstanding performance in all winter conditions.
Stiff shoulder blocks deliver outstanding cornering stability.
Superb handling and braking on dry roads.
Its band-shaped tread structure in the centre zone, similar to that of summer tires, ensures shortest braking distances on dry roads.
Excellent aquaplaning safety.
Thicker sipes with their sipe spacers on the inside of the tire keep the sipes open when they pass through the ground contact area. This makes the sipes fill up with more snow and boosts the amount of extra grip on wintry roads.
Technologies
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.
