Thanks to its highest operational characteristics, the all-season passenger tire Continental ContiCrossContact UHP is rightly considered a product of one of the world leaders in the tire industry. This tire is designed for the most powerful and high-speed vehicles with increased cross-country ability.
Like most passenger tires from this manufacturer, this model is equipped with an asymmetrical tread pattern with a unique design. At the same time, the tire assumes movement mainly on high-speed highways. The highest speed indexes assigned to this "off-road" tire indicate that the tire engineers have done everything to ensure maximum safety when driving at any speed. In particular, some design solutions have made it possible to achieve high stability of the tire's contact area, which, in combination with reinforced sidewalls, has given the tire a refined handling character.
In addition, it is impossible not to note the unique design of the tire's drainage system Continental ContiCrossContact UHP, where water circulation occurs from the central part of the tread to the inner part of the tread. And the drainage system itself is designed to provide the fastest possible removal of a large amount of water from the contact patch.
In order to provide high efficiency of acceleration and braking, this tire is equipped with three longitudinal ribs with a very rigid structure. In addition, the central rib is distinguished by a very large width, which not only improved the directional stability but also led to a significant reduction in the tire's response time to steering wheel turns.
Main features of the Continental ContiCrossContact UHP tire
- a unique tire design that allows changing the contact patch area depending on the driving mode, increasing the tire's efficiency in each of them;
- excellent traction for this category of tires is provided by the original tread pattern design;
- excellent acceleration and braking efficiency thanks to the large contact area and rigid structure of all tread elements;
- exceptional resistance to aquaplaning due to the excellent work of the drainage system, which consists of three or four longitudinal water-dispelling grooves and a large number of transverse channels.
