Continental SportContact 2 255/40R19, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Enhanced controllability; High speed performance; Summer weather traction; Continental SportContact 2 TiresThe Continental SportContact 2 is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire increases the high speed controllability. The asymmetric tread design and the stronger internal structure work together to increase the summer weather handling. The tread closely follows the road surface, while the construction maintains the ideal tire shape. This combination greatly upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the model ensures a faster and more precise steering response, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The Advanced Mold Contour widens the tire's footprint at the moment of braking. As a result, the tire upgrades its braking power and reduces the braking distance during its performance. This combination ensures the driver's better control over the vehicle, improving its maneuvering capability. The model's stronger internal structure improves the high speed durability. This strengthened internal structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting the model. As the tire does not deform under the pressure, it allows the model to securely perform at its greatest high speed capability. This allows the model to upgrade the high speed performing capability, which significantly boosts the overall high speed driving safety levels. The Continental SportContact 2 boosts the summer weather traction. The asymmetric tread design and the durable summer compound increase the dry and wet weather grip on the road surface. This model is not to be used in winter conditions. The stronger summer compound enables the tire to prevent heat build-up along the tread area, which optimizes its high-heat performance. On the toner hand, the tread's better road contact optimizes the gripping ability. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, further improving the wet weather driving safety levels. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
