FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Enhanced controllability
• High speed performance
• Summer weather traction
• Quiet driving experience

OVERVIEW

The Continental SportContact 6 ContiSilent (*) is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This specific tire is marked with (*) as it is the original equipment of BMW vehicles. This model is EV-Ready, meaning these tires are compatible with both electric and traditional vehicles.

The model offers exceptional high speed controllability throughout its performance. The asymmetric tread pattern and the special silica compound improve the tire’s contact with the driving surface. This increases the tire’s steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time becomes quicker and more precise to the driver’s instructions. At the same time, the rounded shoulders offer excellent cornering and maneuvering abilities. These elements enable the driver to have full control over the vehicle and guarantee a safe driving experience.

High speed durability is ensured with this tire. The ideal tread design, the high performance compound, and the strengthened structure work together to optimize the tire’s high speed performance. This tread pattern evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area, while the compound is heat-resistant. These work together to actively resist heat build-up along the tread area. The strengthened internal structure maintains the optimal tire shape under the high speed driving pressure affecting the model. This allows the tire to perform at its best high speed capability.

The tire increases its summer traction. The summer, heat-resistant compound works together with the optimized tread elements in order to boost dry and wet grip. Stronger compound elements increase the tire’s exceptional performance by preventing heat build-up. The road contact provides great grip thanks to the versatile tread elements. Circumferential grooves disperse water from the footprint, preventing hydroplaning as well. This further boosts the model’s summer performance.

The Continental SportContact 6 ContiSilent (*) ensures a quiet and comfortable performance. The ConiSilent technology reduces the noise and vibrations felt by the passengers during the performance. A special layer of the foam is bound to the inner surface of the tire tread. It absorbs the shock of the ride and minimizes vibrations during the performance. These elements ensure a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
