Car Tires
Ultra High Performance
The new ContiSportContact 3 demonstrates how the engineers at Continental have managed to further raise the performance potential of their existing ContiSportContact performance line. The ContiSportContact 3 has demonstrated in our internal testing shorter braking distances on both wet and dry roads, while hydroplaning resistance was improved. Features of the ContiSportContact 3 tire include an asymmetrical ribbed tread pattern, state of the art silica compound, and specialized tread patterns for rear wheel drive vehicles.
Asymmetrical tread design provides steering precision
The asymmetrical tread pattern has enabled the ContiSportContact 3 to achieve a higher level of handling performance. During cornering the outer side of the tire is subjected to maximum forces, so the tread pattern is designed to maintain the largest possible contact area. This performance attribute is designed to provide additional balance when making sharp maneuvres, delivers grip for faster cornering, and ensures additional steering stability at higher speeds. The asymmetrical design of the tread is also designed to resist deformation so the tire remains in constant contact with the road surface.
Ribbed tread pattern for short braking distances
The ribbed tread design allows for even distribution of forces when braking. The fine sipes in the tread ribs have been incorporated to increase support of the tread elements and distribute the braking forces evenly across the entire contact patch. As a result, braking distances have been reduced.
Tread compound offers better grip
Traditionally in compounding gains in wet handling were offset by losses in dry traction or tread wear. Through the use of our state-of-the-art silica compound gains in all three can be made simataniously verses traditional carbon black compounds.
Specific tread patterns for rear wheel drive sports cars and customized vehicles
For high-powered rear wheel drive sports cars the ContiSportContact 3 tire has a special tread pattern, which features a double rib in the tread center, a Y-shaped groove separating the two ribs and larger tread lugs. This design further enhances vehicle performance through increased stability, and enhanced steering response.
The new ContiSportContact 3 tire, approved as a fitment for Audi and Renault, is now available for order in the North American market. The ContiSportContact 3 tire is available in 17-21 inch sizes with a UTQG of 280 AA A.
200 mph speed rating and enhanced grip make this the world's fastest road tire and the tire of choice for many of Europe's ultra sports cars.

Winter
- Progressive interlocking sipes provide maximum biting edges for traction
- Asymmetrical tread design for optimum traction, handling and wear
- Designed for severe snow, ice and winter conditions
- H, T and V speed rated
Deep snow can compromise performance, reduce traction and challenge control. While safety and performance are year-round priorities, they are seldom more important than when the forecast calls for treacherous driving conditions. The Conti 4x4 WinterContact incorporates the latest tire technology with innovative compounds, new tire designs, and sophisticated tread geometry. The result is superior performance and exceptional comfort on any road - wet or dry, icy or snowy.
The ContiWinterContact TS 810 took first place in the current winter tire test in the German special-interest publication Auto Zeitung. The TS 810 was singled out as best in test by the editorial team, against a total of eleven tire models tested – on snow, in the wet and on dry roads.
In the case of the ContiWinterContact TS 810 winter tire, the testers noted its ample grip on snow, its good handling features – even on wet asphalt – and its neutral behavior on dry roads. "Strong performance under all conditions – the balanced Continental is far and away the winner."
