Continental PremiumContact 7 now in SA

 

The new PremiumContact 7 tyre from Continental is now available from retailers in South Africa. The premium tyre will offer motorists even greater safety on both dry and wet roads. 

 

The first independent press tests have confirmed the high standards of safety offered by Continental’s new flagship product. British motoring magazine Auto Express and the online magazine Tyre Reviews both declared the PremiumContact 7 as the winner in their summer tyre tests. German motoring magazine Auto Bild, meanwhile, described it as “exemplary”. The safety advances are underpinned by a wealth of new technologies that have been implemented in the new model after several years of development:

 

Continental developed special shoulder elements for the PremiumContact 7 that allow the tread to adapt depending on the driving situation. When driving on wet roads, the majority of the water is evacuated via the circumferential grooves - the contact patch ends at the point where the water can drain off fastest to ensure even more water is discharged from the shoulders. On dry surfaces, the contact patch shifts to the outside of the shoulder, with the lateral grooves designed to taper off so that extra power can be transmitted to the road.

 

Every component in a tyre’s rubber compound attains optimum performance at a specific temperature. With its new compound for the PremiumContact 7, Continental has succeeded in ensuring ideal performance across the widest possible spectrum of temperatures. Even in the cooler hours of the morning or at night, the tyre is able to generate high levels of low-temperature grip.

Continental Tyre South Africa is a member of the SATMC.
