Technical details
Tread area
- Means increased resistance to cuts, chipping and chunking
- Reduces the number, and most importantly the depth of any cuts and tears
- Improves protection of the casing by keeping damage superficial
- Results in substantially higher removal mileage, thanks to its great durability
Belt layer
- Withstands highly concentrated pressure
- Prevents fatigue fractures
- Means enhanced traction characteristics through the stiffness of the overall structure
- Protects the casing effectively and offers best retreadability
Tread pattern
- Results in considerably higher mileage with even wear
- Ensures reliable grip and good handling both on and off the road
- Improves the tire’s selfcleaning characteristics and reduce stone-trapping (casing protection)
- Combines high mileage with significant traction and optimum road suitability, whatever the weather conditions
Contour
- Provides greater resistance to deformation caused by radial forces
- Minimizes compression of the sidewalls, even with heavier loads
- Counteracts premature material fatigue
- Means greater load-carrying capacity and improved retreadability
EU Tire Label
Wet grip
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.
Fuel efficiency
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.
Noise level
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 values, there are also icons − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (for C1 tires only).
With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tires.
