- Outstanding braking performance in both wet and dry conditions
- Excellent resistance to aquaplaning
- Precise handling and unbeatable driving stability
Braking:
Thanks to the flat tread wall of the 3D groove, the ContiPremiumContact 2 boasts greater stability, which improves braking in dry conditions. The steep face results in particularly sharp block edges. This means that, like a windscreen wiper, the tyre penetrates the water to ensure direct contact with the road surface.
Aquaplaning:
This direct contact leads to much shorter braking distances, even in wet conditions. The special shape of the grooves (flat and steep walls) generates a swirl effect as water flows through. This leads to the water being dispersed faster and the risk of aquaplaning being reduced. The smooth, round shape of the ground contact area increases resistance to aquaplaning.
Stability:
Thanks to a reduced number of blocks, the compact outer shoulder provides optimal driving comfort and allows excellent cornering stability. The dual block structure of the inner belts ensures the tread's circumferential stiffness.
