A comfortable and safer performance is guaranteed by most touring tire models. They ensure first-rate traction throughout the year, while also guaranteeing precise and quick controllability and high comfort levels. This combination enhances driving safety significantly and enables the driver to confidently maneuver their vehicle.
One such all season touring tire that we at Priority Tire offer is Continental’s ContiProContact model, which combines its tread design with its exceptional compound to promote a safer performing capability. Not only does the tire offers great security, it also enhances the fuel efficiency greatly and offers an astounding warranty of up to 80,000 miles.

Longer Lasting Tread Life
Manufacturers strive to design and produce tires that correspond with the consumer needs, and tires with longer tread life warranties have always been in high demand on the tire market.
The ContiProContact comes with a tread wear warranty of up to 80,000 miles. It all depends on the size’s speed rating. The V speed rated sizes come with a 40,000 mile warranty, the H speed rated sizes with a 60,000 mile warranty, while the T and S speed rated sizes with an 80,000 mile treadwear warranty.
This tread life length is achieved with the even distribution of the driving pressure along the entire tread area. The symmetric ribbed tread design closely follows the road surface at all times, which allows the tire to equally spread the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking out across the tire’s surface. This avoids the formation of irregular tread wear on the tire, extending its tread life and usability.
Fuel Saving Performance
Fuel cost can be high if the tires do not perform in the desired manner. Tires must keep their rolling resistance or the external pressure that determines the vehicle’s fuel consumption, low in order to save fuel during their performance.
The ContiProContact was manufactured with a silica-based compound and an optimized footprint to maintain the tire’s road contact and ease the driving pressure off the tire surface. The lowered pressure affecting the model successfully decreases its rolling resistance. In this manner, the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced, which promotes a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.
All Weather Performance
Touring tires predominantly offer all season traction. They offer the best weather versatility as their tread design and all season compound maintains a firm grip on the road surface throughout the year.
Continental combined its silica-infused tire compound with its symmetric tread design to increase the dry, wet and winter weather traction of the ContiProContact. The silica compound keeps its rubber compound flexibility all year round, while the tread design, with the high siping density, firmly grips onto the road surface. The siping detail creates numerous biting edges that are capable of enhancing the tire’s wet and winter weather driving safety.
The ContiProContact also actively resists dangerous hydroplaning. This road hazard causes the vehicle to skid and the driver to lose control over it. The tread’s four circumferential grooves actively disperse water and slush from below the tire’s footprint and avoid aquaplaning in the process. The safer year round performance ensures a secure driving experience in wet and winter weather situations.
Controllability and Performance
All tires must be easily controlled to ensure high levels of driving safety. As they are the only link between the road surface and the vehicle and as such, they must improve their steering responsiveness and driving stability to securely control the vehicle’s response to the driver’s instructions.
The tread pattern of the ContiProContact helps boost its controllability. The tread’s shoulder lugs stabilize the tread elements and prevent tread flexing while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the tire’s road contact is constant, which enhances the steering response time and accuracy significantly. On the other hand, the tread design’s interlocking sipes ensure an optimal road contact, which stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. The better steering and driving stability significantly enhance the driver’s control over the vehicle and guarantee a safer year round performance.
Reduced Road Noise Levels
The road noise heard in the vehicle’s cabin can ruin the driving experience for the driver and their passengers. As a result, manufacturers want to create tires that offer exceptional driving comfort throughout their lifetime.
The ContiProContact sports symmetric ribbed tread pattern that features a variable phase shift on its tread area. The variable phase shift manages to lower the road noise levels heard during the drive. This tread design creates a sound frequency that negates the road noise generated before they can reach the vehicle’s cabin and ruin the passengers’ driving enjoyment. In this manner, the model promotes a quiet and comfortable driving experience all year round.
