Continental ContiSportContact2

Continental's top-of-the-range ultra-high performance tyre. Key performance benefits are precise steering response and cornering stability, excellent braking power, good resistance to aquaplaning and very good grip in the wet ContiSportContact 2 has an asymmetrical pattern guaranteeing maximum ground adhesion. This is ensured by the closed outer shoulder section and the pronounced strips of tread rubber around the tyre's circumference. Another benefit of this tread design is that it delivers extremely precise steering response, both on bends taken at high speeds and when driving on the straight.

The circumferential tread strips are much stiffer than individual tread blocks. So Conti's tyre engineers were able to use a softer tread compound. By combining the solid tread strips with the soft compound, tyre mileage performance could be enhanced to a higher level.

ContiSportContact 2 tyre features a newly developed "bionic" silica -based compound. This tread compound consists of two perfectly harmonised networks - a flexible one and a firm one. The flexible network ensures maximum transmission of forces between the tyre and road surface, while the firm network provides the necessary stiffness for precise handling performance, above all at high speeds.

Thanks to its bionic contour (Advanced Mould Concept), the ContiSportContact 2 achieves more uniform ground-pressure distribution and hence greater adhesion than its predecessor. At the same time, the contour provides the largest possible ground contact area when the car is braking. This ensures a much shorter braking distance on wet and dry roads, and means more safety for the car's occupants.
