Continental ContiSportContact 3

High Performance Tyres

The standards demanded of tyres on high performance sports cars thesedays are higher than they've ever been. Of perhaps the highest importance is excellent steering control and precision. It is a necessity that your car maintains good adherance to the road, despite the considerable forces working against the tyres whilst driving at high speeds, making sporty manoevres, or experiencing sudden changes in the road surfaces. However, the asymmetric ribs of the tread pattern on the new ContiSportContact 3 are built to absorb these forces.

Whilst driving on dry roads, the tread pattern ribs provide amazing braking capability and great steering accuracy by absorbing the force exerted on the tyres upon braking. This means a huge reduction in the distance taken to stop.

On wet surfaces however, the unique continuous grooves assist with increased clearance of water, and far higher resistance to aquaplaning.
