Maximum wet braking while improving mileage due to Safety Silica Compounds
Extended driving convenience updated by the comfort-optimised performance footprint
Sporty driving in every car thanks to handling-optimised pattern design
Safety
Maximum wet braking while improving mileage due to Safety Silica Compounds. The crystal silica composition enables superior braking performance especially in terms of wet road conditions. While keeping the safety performance at the maximum level, the mileage improved significantly – a solved conflict in tyre development.
Comfort
Extended driving convenience updated by the comfort-optimised performance footprint. The wear-optimised polymer blend provides an outstanding improvement of more than 15% in mileage performance. In addition, the smooth pattern stiffness improves driving comfort and mileage, and lowers the exterior noise.
Handling
Sporty driving in every car thanks to handling-optimised pattern design. The advanced macro-block design ensures maximum control and cornering stability. Furthermore, the asymmetric rib geometry provides a better grip under the effect of lateral forces.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

24.03.2021fromN Moss More comfortable than a lot of winter tyres we have had. A bit noisy but not too bad. Fuel economy better than most.
18.11.2019fromMarc Not the best continental tyre i have ever bought, great grip, terrible life span, you dont get something for nothing in life eh! Previous continental tyres I have purchased have done 20,000 miles, these have only managed about 6000-8000 and have a very soft sidewall.
17.04.2019fromJan I drive fast. This tyres keep me on the road no matter wet or dry.
15.02.2019fromJames Scanlan Sure footed at speed dry and wet/tested at the limit
