Description
The Continental ContiSportContact 5 SUV (ContiSeal) is a performance summer tire for SUVs that offers excellent grip, handling, and braking, with a special emphasis on safety. It features a specific macro-block design for better road contact, optimized braking performance through an energy absorption compound, and reduced rolling resistance for better fuel efficiency and higher mileage. The “ContiSeal” technology provides a sealant layer on the inside of the tire that can automatically seal about 80% of punctures, reducing the need for immediate roadside changes.
Performance and handling
- Improved grip and cornering:The macro-block design on the outer shoulder adapts to the road surface, providing enhanced grip for safer cornering.
- Shorter braking distances:The “Black Chili” compound has a high natural frequency, and its short-chain polymers absorb energy effectively during braking, shortening distances on both wet and dry surfaces.
- Driving confidence:The tyre is designed to deliver a high level of grip, contributing to a confident and enjoyable driving experience.
Efficiency and durability
- Reduced rolling resistance:The tyre’s compound features long-chain polymers that release absorbed energy more efficiently, leading to lower rolling resistance, which helps with fuel consumption and high mileage.
- Reduced fuel consumption:The lower rolling resistance means the tyre runs more easily and stays cooler, which translates to reduced fuel consumption.
- High mileage potential:The unique tyre composition is designed to provide a good balance of performance and longevity.
