The ContiPremiumContact tires stand out for their high braking performance compared to regular tires. Under normal operating conditions, the ContiPremiumContact tire has a narrow surface, which protects against aquaplaning, and when braking, it has the property of expanding. Due to this property, an improvement in the ability to transfer braking forces to the asphalt is achieved.
Comfort and safety while driving are ensured by the asymmetrical profile of the ContiPremiumContact tire. The outer shoulder zone is closed and has a solid profile, which guarantees stable behavior when cornering and fairly precise steering. Due to the increased contact surface when cornering, the traction with the road and improved braking characteristics are improved. The closed outer shoulder zone significantly reduces the noise level.
Along the entire circumference of the middle area of the ContiPremiumContact tire tread, wide grooves pass, combined with transverse ones, which guarantee optimal water drainage.
For many years, when manufacturing the tread mixture, silica mixture has been used as a filler instead of soot. The main advantage of using silicon dioxide is that it can enter into a compound with rubber polymers. And as a result, the silica mixture significantly reduces the rolling resistance of the ContiPremiumContact tire, as well as improves traction and longitudinal stability when moving on a wet road surface.
