Continental SportContact 6 315/40R21, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: High speed performance; Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Continental SportContact 6 TiresThe Continental SportContact 6 is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The model promotes a secure high speed performance. The special Aralon350 ply structure enables the tire to keep its ideal tire shape under the high speed driving pressure. On the other hand, the Black Chilli compound prevents heat build-up along the footprint, easing the driving pressure off the tire. This combination enables the tire to improve the high speed durability, allowing the tire's secure high speed performing capability throughout the drive. The asymmetric tread design and the Black Chilli compound increase the summer weather traction. As a result, the tire enhances the dry and wet weather performing safety levels. The compound elements prevent heat build-up in summer temperatures, while the tread firmly grips the road surface with its better contact area. The tire also combats hydroplaning. The tread's circumferential grooves eliminate water from the footprint, further boosting the wet weather performing safety. The Continental SportContact 6 boosts the controllability. The optimal tire footprint and the macro block design ensure surface contact during the drive. This greatly improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability throughout the tire's performance. As a result, the tire promotes a quicker and more precise steering response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The Black Chilli compound and the tread design work together to ensure a shortened braking distance. The Micro Flexibility compound and the optimal surface contact enhance the accelerating capability of the tire. 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.
