Continental ContiPremiumContact 215/55 R18 99V RF

Description

Shorter braking distances for luxury and medium-sized cars. The bionic ContiPremiumContact means safer braking:
The new ContiPremiumContact works like a cat’s paw as it brakes: it widens, to ensure safe transmission of greater forces to the road. The tyre is therefore able to transmit braking forces more efficiently than a conventional tyre . Under normal driving conditions the tyre remains slim to provide protection against aquaplaning. Asymmetrical tread pattern ensures safety and comfort
The closed outer shoulder section with its sturdy tread pattern ensures good cornering stability and precise steering response. This part of the tyre puts more rubber on the road, giving better grip and good braking characteristics, even when cornering. The closed outer shoulder also means reduced tyre/road noise. Silica means low rolling resistance, better grip and shorter braking distances
For several years, silica has replaced carbon black as a filler in tyre tread compound. The benefit of silicum dioxide is that it is able to bond chemically with the natural rubber polymers. As a result, silica helps to reduce rolling resistance and improve grip and roadholding, particularly on wet roads. Highlights:
– excellent handling and outstanding protection against aquaplaning on wet roads
– shorter braking distances delivered through bionic contour
– optimum cornering stability and maximum grip in wet and dry conditions
