Continental ContiSportContact 2 245/45R18, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Summer tire; High performance; Hydroplaning prevention; Controllability; Braking capability; Continental ContiSportContact 2 TiresThe Continental ContiSportContact 2 is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles. This model boosts the high speed controllability. The tread design's constant surface contact improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The tread's continuous center rib increases the braking ability. It creates friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, shortening the braking distance significantly. The stronger internal structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the high speed driving pressure with the reinforced steel belt construction. This prevents the tire's deformation under the high speed pressure, enabling the tire to securely perform at its best high speed capability throughout its lifetime. The bionic compound and the asymmetric tread upgrade the summer weather performance. The compound avoids heat build-up, while the tread elements increase the dry and wet traction. The optimal groove placement avoids hydroplaning by dispersing water from the footprint. This combination ensures the tire's secure summer weather performing capability, guaranteeing a safer high speed drive. The ContiSportContact 2 also conserves the tread. It decreases the tread wear rate and promotes a longer lasting tread life and usability. The tread design's slow wear rate and the evenly distributed driving pressure avoid the possibility of irregular tread wear, guaranteeing extended usability. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Jaguar 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.
