Continental Conti.eContact tyres

The Continental EcoContact tyre is a summer tyre, suited specifically for passenger vehicles.

Overall, this tyre helps drastically improve levels of performance through a number of benefits. Braking distances are reduced due to the superior gripping qualities of the Continental EcoContact tyre. In wet weather conditions, you can also be assured of maximum safety due to the outstanding resistance against aquaplaning. You can be sure of fantastic value for money thanks to the rolling resistance being optimised.

You drive more miles per volt, we enjoy less emissions per mile. For electric vehicles in compact class. The first e-car tyre.

> Engineered in Germany, Continental offers premium tyres with optimum braking performance and safety

> Minimal rolling resistance for highest mileage

> The Renault Twizzy has been the first vehicle equipped with Conti.eContact tyres in 2011. Also the new Volkswagen eGolf is equipped with Conti.eContact

> Minimal rolling resistance for highest mileage

> Unrivalled braking performance and low noise emissions

> Aerodynamic sidewall design with golf ball structure

> Reduced rolling resistance for highest mileage

The Conti.eContact features a completely new design. In addition to a larger outer and rim diameter, which allows the same load capacity with reduced tyre width, it has an optimized sidewall flexing zone with less material, optimized tread depth and rigid ribs, as well as a flat contour. Through the resulting flexible sidewall area and reduced tread movement, the tyre offers optimized rolling resistance for highest mileage.

> Unrivalled braking performance and low noise emissions

The tyre's four circumferential grooves offer an even pressure distribution in the footprint. This leads to lower noise emissions. In addition, the high number of lateral sipes and no lateral grooves create a reduced acoustic excitation and an optimal ""wiper-effect"". Thus, the noise emission is further reduced and the braking distance in the wet shortened.

> Aerodynamic sidewall design with golf ball structure

The sidewall's smooth off-shoulder design, which is aerodynamically optimized, features less edges so as to avoid air turbulence. This results in reduced fuel consumption.
