Description

The Continental ContiSportContact 2 is a max performance summer tire designed for passenger vehicles, offering ultra-high performance for true automotive enthusiasts. It features an asymmetrical tread pattern, crafted to deliver uncompromised ground adhesion across various driving scenarios. Launched in 2001, this tire has established itself as a benchmark for precise steering response and high mileage performance, catering to drivers who demand exceptional handling and durability.

Features & Benefits

  • Optimized Ground Adhesion: The asymmetrical tread pattern, with a closed outer shoulder and pronounced circumferential tread strips, ensures optimal grip in all driving conditions.

  • Innovative Silica Tread Compound: Features a bionic compound with two interlinked networks, balancing flexibility for force transmission and firmness for high-speed handling precision.
  • Improved Safety: The Advanced Mould Concept (bionic contour) of the tire leads to uniform ground-pressure distribution, significantly reducing braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces for increased occupant safety.
