Description
ContiPremiumContact™ 2 – for mid-sized and luxury vehicles.
- Outstanding braking performance in both wet and dry conditions
- Excellent resistance to aquaplaning
- Precise handling and unbeatable driving stability
Braking:
Thanks to the flat tread wall of the 3D groove, the ContiPremiumContact 2 boasts greater stability, which improves braking in dry conditions. The steep face results in particularly sharp block edges. This means that, like a windscreen wiper, the tyre penetrates the water to ensure direct contact with the road surface.
Aquaplaning:
This direct contact leads to much shorter braking distances, even in wet conditions. The special shape of the grooves (flat and steep walls) generates a swirl effect as water flows through. This leads to the water being dispersed faster and the risk of aquaplaning being reduced. The smooth, round shape of the ground contact area increases resistance to aquaplaning.
Stability:
Thanks to a reduced number of blocks, the compact outer shoulder provides optimal driving comfort and allows excellent cornering stability. The dual block structure of the inner belts ensures the tread's circumferential stiffness.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
As of 01/11/2021, the European Tyre Labelling Regulation EU/1222/2009, (EU tyre label) applies. This regulation applies for all newly manufactured tyres as of CW27/2021.
The EU tyre label provides information about the criteria for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise and is binding for all car, LGV and HGV tyres (classes C1, c2 and C3) within EU Member States.
The aim of the EU tyre label is to increase safety, environmental protection and efficiency of road traffic by promoting fuel-saving, safe and quiet tyres.
Alongside the EU tyre label, you should continue to consider the relevant tyre tests as an important factor in your decision to purchase, as the new EU tyre label tests only three important criteria. in this way, for example, the driving characteristic of summer tyres on a dry road is assessed just as little as the snow grip of winter tyres
