Continental SportContact 7 (SIL) (*) 225/45R18 95Y XL

The asymmetric tread design and the special silica compound work together to maintain continuous contact with the driving surface. As a result, the tire is able to effectively upgrade steering responsiveness and driving stability. This allows the tire to enhance steering responses and accuracy, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The shoulder block pattern provides additional biting edges, upgrading cornering. The angled grooves create friction when braking, significantly shortening its overall braking distance.

The tire combines its summer compound and ideal tread design in order to offer excellent dry and wet-weather performance. The model's special heat-resistant compound enables its exceptional dry-weather traction by combating heat accumulation. Ribbed elements increase the tire's traction in dry and wet conditions with better road contact. Hydroplaning is avoided since circumferential grooves disperse water from below the footprint.

The tread block placement enables the tire to channel airwaves through the footprint, without allowing their contact with the tread elements. In this manner, the tread elements do not generate sound waves, which guarantees a comfortable drive. As road disturbances do not ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment, the model promotes a quiet performance.

This tire upgrades its high speed durability. The optimal tread design can easily follow the road surface, while the strong construction maintains the optimal tire shape under pressure. Also, the heat-resistant compound prevents pressure accumulation along the tread area. This combination guarantees excellent high speed performance.
