OVERVIEW
The Continental ProContact EcoPlus is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Continental offers an 80,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire model.
The tire promotes a secure all weather traction. The all season compound and the symmetric tread design enhance the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface. The durable compound elements optimize the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, upgrading the high-heat summer and colder winter situation performance. The siping and notch pattern along the footprint allows the tire to improve the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the year. The tread's Proactive Edge technology further increases the winter weather performing safety. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint in wet weather conditions. This combination enables the tire to improve the year round performance.
The better surface contact also enables the tire to optimize the models' overall controllability. The maintained road contact improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability while the tires are in motion. As a result, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The shoulder block pattern increases the cornering and maneuvering ability with the use of additional biting edges, further enhancing the driver's control over the vehicle at all times.
The model also guarantees high driving comfort levels throughout the performance. The flat footprint's close surface contact and the Proactive Edge technology work together to decrease the road vibrations and road noise levels. The close road contact absorbs the driving shock, minimizing the road vibrations felt by the passengers. The Proactive Edge technology utilizes the siping pattern to channel airwaves through the footprint, greatly lowering the road noise levels heard by the passengers. This combination promotes a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
The EcoPlus technology utilizes the durable compound and the stronger all weather traction to lower the pressure affecting the tire. This enables the tire to decrease the rolling resistance while the tires are in motion. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle's fuel intake needed. Lessening the rolling resistance allows the vehicle to reduce its fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels, resulting in a fuel efficient performing ability.
The ProContact EcoPlus improves the length of the usability. The maintained surface contact and the stabilized footprint enable the tire's even pressure distribution throughout the performance. It allows the tire to effectively resist premature and irregular wear formations across the tread area. This results in a longer lasting tread and service life.
