Continental SportContact 6
This model is a Max Performance Summer tire developed to meet the needs of millions of sports coupes, luxury sedans, or SUVs owners who are looking for responsive handling, ultimate grip, and high-speed stability in dry and wet conditions.
The SportContact 6 comes with advanced summer Black Chili compound molded into an asymmetric tread pattern combined with a strong outboard shoulder with a closely spaced intermediate rib to provide maximum adhesion and extra lateral stability at a high-speed range. To ensure a controlled feel and responsive turn-in the Continental engineers use continuous center ribs.
One of the most notable technologies used by Continental are:
ContiSeal is a technology developed by Continental designed to seal a damaged tire tread.
SSR system- It is a run-flat technology developed by Continental that is based on a self-supporting reinforced sidewall. In case of a puncture, this prevents the sidewall from being crushed between the rim and the road.
For safety reasons, the SportContact 6 presents deep, circumferential grooves and lateral notches designed to better water evacuation from the under the tire footprint thus increasing the risk of hydroplaning.
Inside the tread, we can find a two-ply rayon casing that supports two high-tensile steel belts. One of the most notable innovations used by Continental in the production of the model is the exclusive Aralon 350 hybrid cap ply that reinforces the steel belts and promotes tire shape at high speeds for improved stability and control.
This model is available from 19 to 23-inch sizes, being the best option for high-performance vehicles such as Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, the Audi R8, Jaguar F-Type, and Porsche 911, and the BMW M range.
