PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY

The company points out that the new tire is; was developed to have an adaptive tread pattern , which adapts to dry and wet road surfaces, with its size-specific configuration to offer maximum driving pleasure on any vehicle. Furthermore, it can & ograve; count on the BlackChili compound which is formulated in an optimized way to adapt to the adherence of the asymmetrical profile.

Continental tells, more & ugrave; specifically, that thanks to the asymmetrical and adaptive tread design, the new sports tire can adapt to dry and wet road surfaces , maintaining its driving characteristics at a consistently high and safe level, even at speed; elevated.

During straight driving, the footprint ends in the area of ​​maximum water expulsion, thus developing; maximum grip in the wet when braking and accelerating. On dry asphalt, when cornering, the footprint moves to the outer shoulder which, thanks to innovative locking elements that allow limited movements of the tread, effectively transmits forces for exceptionally stable handling.

Speaking of the BlackChili compound, the company & agrave; makes it known that & egrave; has been optimized for the tread design. It perfectly matches the very rigid and low profile structure of the tire and not only provides excellent driving characteristics, but also ensures a significant increase in mileage.


Compared to the previous generation, Continental's internal tests have shown that the mileage is; increased by 17% and track performance improved by 10%. In addition, braking distances in the wet are reduced by 8% and by 6% in the dry. This test refers, Continental points out, to a tire of size 245/30 R 20. Since conventional sports tires react differently to different vehicle characteristics, the specifications of the SportContact 7 are adapted to each vehicle class . The new tire, therefore, is; made to measure for each type of vehicle.
