Continental ContiSportContact 7 255/35 R18 94Y XL

The Continental ContiSportContact 7 summer tire, according to the recommendations of the German manufacturer, can be used on passenger cars of any class. It is characterized by sports agility in handling and reliability of grip, both on dry and wet surfaces, braking efficiency in any conditions, and increased service life compared to the previous model.

Excellent handling at any speed

The tread pattern has been significantly revised compared to the previous generation tire. The longitudinal ribs in the central part have become much more massive, which has increased the stability of the grip and directional stability, and the tire's response to steering wheel turns has become even faster and more accurate. As a result, the comfort of driving a car has increased, especially at high speeds. Here it is worth noting the changed design of the shoulder areas with large deformation-resistant blocks. This gives the tire a large margin of stability when maneuvering and reduces uneven wear.

Efficiency on wet surfaces

The longitudinal grooves in the central part have retained their large volume. But at the same time, the drainage elements along the edges of the tread have undergone significant changes. The special shape has made it possible to significantly increase the intensity of water removal from the contact patch, thereby reducing the risk of hydroplaning, especially when maneuvering.

Improved compound

The composition of the Black Chili rubber mixture has been changed in accordance with the new tread pattern design. As before, it uses special polymers that allow changing the characteristics of the compound at different driving modes. In this version of the rubber mixture, this process occurs much more efficiently. This has made it possible to significantly improve almost all operational properties of the tire. Compared to the previous generation tire, the superiority of this model in a number of characteristics reaches tens of percent.

Main features of Continental ContiSportContact 7

- The tread pattern with increased blocks and longitudinal ribs provides excellent directional stability and sports agility in handling at any speed;
- The original shape of the grooves along the edges of the tread minimizes the risk of aquaplaning when maneuvering;
- The optimized compound, tailored to the features of the tread pattern, provides reliability of grip and resistance to wear under extreme loads on the tire.
