The summer tire Continental ContiCrossContact RX is designed for use in SUVs, pickups, and crossovers. It is characterized by increased ride smoothness and acoustic comfort even on "rough" asphalt, efficiency when braking on wet surfaces, reliability, and precision in handling during maneuvering.
Acoustic Comfort
In the development of the tire, much attention was paid to ensuring acoustic comfort. A significant part of the noise reduction was achieved due to the arrangement of tread pattern elements with an offset relative to each other. This reduces the likelihood of resonant vibrations. Similarly, the lamellas are arranged, which further reduces noise during movement.
Improved Traction on Wet Surfaces
The tread pattern is filled with numerous lamellas. The sharp edges formed by them, mainly arranged transversely, allow for the most effective implementation of traction and braking effort, primarily on wet surfaces. Some of the slots in the shoulder areas have an unusual C-shaped form. It increases stability during dynamic maneuvering. On a wet road, drainage grooves further improve traction properties, continuously drying the contact patch by removing almost any amount of water from it at high intensity.
Optimized Tread Profile
The tire's tread has a profile of a special shape. This solution significantly increases the contact patch, making it wider and giving it a nearly rectangular shape. In motion, this is reflected in the stability of traction properties and comfort in handling during maneuvering. Additionally, this solution significantly reduces uneven wear of the tread, increasing the lifespan of the tire.
Key Features of Continental ContiCrossContact RX Tires
- low noise level due to the arrangement of tread elements with an offset and optimized lamella design;
- wide drainage grooves effectively remove water even in heavy rain;
- C-shaped lamellas further increase stability when maneuvering on wet surfaces;
- increased contact patch due to the special profile of the tread and the design of the shoulder areas of the tread.
