The Continental ContiSportContact 5 SUV summer tire, like the model on which it was based, demonstrates its highest performance at high speeds. But at the same time, the tire is designed for crossovers and SUVs, which differ from conventional passenger cars in their increased weight.
Excellent traction and handling are largely provided by the design of the shoulder areas of the tread. The blocks located here are optimized so that when multidirectional acceleration forces act on them, the contact patch remains as large as possible and does not change its size. This significantly improves traction, making handling reliable and predictable.
Much of the benefits of this tire are provided by the Black Chilli rubber compound. Its main feature is polymer compounds that change the temperature characteristics of the compound depending on road conditions and driving mode. It is most pronounced when braking, when the rubber compound, heating up, shortens the braking distance.
The same polymer compounds in the composition of the compound significantly reduce fuel consumption. When driving smoothly, they do not allow the tread to heat up, which reduces rolling resistance. This same feature has a positive effect on the durability of the tread.
The main features of the Continental ContiSportContact 5 SUV:
- reinforced carcass and breaker construction provides the SUV tire with the same characteristics as the model for passenger cars;
- optimized shoulder blocks improve handling and traction at high speeds;
- rubber compound with modern polymers shortens the braking distance, reduces fuel consumption, and increases the service life of the tread.
