CONTIPROCONTACT

ContiProContact's PROactive Edge Technology pushes the limits of innovation. The patterned edge design yields increased grip and a quiet ride. The ContiProContact gives you the confidence to drive your high-performance vehicle to the level you want.

Each ContiProContact tire has at least 800 pattern edges in its tread. The more edges a tire has, the more grip it has. PROactive Edge Technology is more than just the quantity of edges in the tread; it is also the shape of the pattern edges. Edges are most effective when they are perpendicular to the direction of travel. The engineers at Continental designed the edges in an arched pattern so that there are more active edges in the contact patch. And no matter what the direction of travel is, there are always edges with the right orientation.

Since your tire contact patch is comparable to the size of a postcard, it is critical to maximize the contact patch interaction with the road. And with maximum edge contact in every direction of travel, tire traction will be optimized in dry, wet, and snowy conditions. Knowing that your tires have been designed for superior traction is especially comforting when you need to make those unexpected sharp turns.

By adding a curved design to the edges, the pattern elements transfer effortlessly from edge to edge. Tires with straight edges have a more harsh transition, which creates tire noise.

The ContiProContact's low noise level is one of the reasons why the ContiProContact is original equipment on many high-end automobiles, such as BMW, Mercedes, and Jaguar.

Owner's of luxury high-performance vehicles place high demand on performance , control, and safety in wet conditions. The PROgressive Groove Ramp of the ContiProContact incorporates features to meet the driver's demands. This new groove geometry has a wider and progressively rounded groove base that is present in every groove, which provides added lateral support and promotes efficient water evacuation. Drivers can be confident when cornering knowing that the PROgressive Groove Ramp is in action.

When cornering, the load increases in the shoulder. The unique ramp shape promotes less block deformation and the blocks are able to retain stability while cornering. To the driver, the PROgressive Groove Ramp also means enhanced handling and steering response. As a tire turns or brakes, forces are applied to each tread element. These forces cause the elements to shift. Too much movement causes a drop in the performance of the tire, particularly in handling and cornering. The PROgressive Groove Ramp of the ContiProContact reduces detrimental shifting of the tread elements.

The chances of hydroplaning can be reduced by absorbing and expelling water from the tire. The PROgressive Groove Ramp provides an escape route for water away from the tread. By forcing the water away from the tread more effectively, hydroplaning resistance is maximized.The Controlled Sipe Interaction of the ContiProContact creates an interlocking of the tread blocks' elements via the curved sipe design. This interlocking controls the increased chance of deformation of the blocks. As the tire goes through a turn or any other lateral force is applied, the blocks interlock and create a feeling of stability and precision.

Controlled Sipe Interaction also means even wear of the tread. Because of the interlocking structure of the blocks, the individual tread blocks will not shift or deform as much as tires without Controlled Sipe Interaction technology. The tread will wear more evenly and last longer.

The benefit to the consumer is responsiveness without sacrificing wear.

What Are All Season Tires?

All Season tires are designed to provide balanced performance throughout the year, delivering dependable traction and comfort in a variety of weather conditions. They are optimized for mild climates, offering a reliable solution for drivers who want consistent performance without switching tires seasonally.

Performance in Warm and Cool Conditions

With specially formulated rubber compounds and tread designs, All Season tires excel in temperatures ranging from hot summer days to cooler autumn evenings. They maintain grip and stability on dry and wet roads, ensuring a smooth and safe driving experience across changing seasons.

Rain? No Problem.

The tread pattern of All Season tires is designed to channel water away efficiently, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. Whether it's a sudden downpour in spring or steady rain in the fall, these tires keep you in control.

Light Winter Driving Capabilities

While not a replacement for dedicated winter tires, All Season tires offer some traction in light snow or slushy conditions. Their moderate siping and tread depth help navigate mild winter weather, making them a versatile choice for regions with limited snowfall.

Why Choose All Season Tires?

If you live in a region with moderate weather and don’t face extreme winters or blazing summer heat, All Season tires provide an excellent year-round solution. They eliminate the hassle of switching tires every season, offering convenience and versatility for everyday driving.

Best Fit for Your Driving Needs

All Season tires are perfect for drivers who value convenience, steady performance, and cost-efficiency. If your area experiences mild winters and moderate summers, these tires provide the ideal balance of comfort and safety.

What Are Touring Tires?

Touring tires are designed to provide a comfortable, quiet ride and long-lasting tread life. They are ideal for drivers seeking dependable performance, smooth handling, and minimal road noise during everyday driving and highway commutes.

Smooth and Comfortable Ride

Touring tires are engineered with advanced tread patterns and optimized rubber compounds to minimize vibrations and road noise. This ensures a quieter, smoother driving experience, even on longer trips.

Reliable Handling and Stability

Touring tires offer predictable handling and stability, making them well-suited for daily driving. Their design prioritizes consistent performance on dry and wet roads, delivering confidence and control in various conditions.

Long Tread Life for Daily Use

With durable rubber compounds and balanced designs, touring tires are built for longevity. They provide excellent value by lasting longer compared to performance or off-road tires, making them a cost-effective option for everyday drivers.

Available in All-Season and Summer Options

Touring tires come in all-season and summer variants, allowing drivers to choose based on their climate and driving preferences. All-season touring tires are versatile, while summer touring tires deliver optimal performance in warm weather.
