Winter UHP tires for premium sports cars Winter sport never felt that moving Excellent snow performance for outstanding driving pleasure.Thanks to the special construction of the traction sipes and the new designed snow grooves the interlocking with the snow significantly raises the traction and handling comfort on snow covered roads. Best braking performance for maximum winter safety.The blocks of the rib are only separated through thin lateral grooves which form a stiff rib due to the forces while braking. This leads to shorter braking distance espacially for sporty driving in wintry conditions. Superb dry handling performance for highest steering precision.Wider and bigger blocks on the outside shoulder increase the contact area which results in larger footprint for maximum control and steering precision while cornering on dry wintry roads. Exceptional low rolling resistance for reduced fuel consumption.Due to its combination of innovative compound, profile and construction the WinterContact™ TS 860 S efficiently reduces the rolling resistance for higher fuel saving – without compromising the safety. Continental SSR Tires SSR stands for SelfSupportingRunflat Tire The SSR principle: Unlike conventional tires, the SSR principle is based on a reinforced self-supporting sidewall. This prevents the inside of the tire from getting pinched between the road and the rim and from slipping into the rim well in the event of a loss of inflation. The SSR's reinforced sidewall enables the car to continue on its way at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) for up to80 km (50 miles), depending on road conditions and vehicle weight. SSR runflat tires offer crucial advantages With SSR tires you remain mobile in the event of a flat tire. You can reach your destination or tire service facility without the bother of having to replace a flat tire with the spare tire Compatible with standard rims Simple mounting Saves room and weight, and thus fuel, giving you as much as 3 cubic feet more cargo area Communication between tire and driver Because of the good riding comfort SSR tires afford, drivers hardly notice any pressure loss in the event of a flat, to increase both safety in the event of a flat and performance during normal driving, the SSR system is supplied together with an inflation warning system – either TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) or DDS (Deflation Detection System), both of which were likewise developed by Continental. These warning systems alert the driver when a drop in inflation pressure requires investigation via a display on the instrument panel.

The Wintrac has an excellent grip on wet or slippery roads, even during sudden braking or steering movements. An instantly eye-catching detail in the tread is the V-shape in the profile. However, the heart of the V is deliberately not positioned in the middle. For the Wintracs Off-Centre Directional Profile ensures that this H-winter tyre drives incredibly quietly with the emphasis on comfort. Even at speeds as high as 130 mph. Thanks to the so-called CAR-principle, the contact patch between the tread and the road both left and right is precisely balanced. The Wintrac therefore remains completely straight on the road and possesses an unprecedented grip and course stability

Foam-in-Tyre Technology (FIT) Car interior noise has 3 main causes: Wind noise (created by air-flow at high speed) Engine noise Tyre noise: Tread/block road rumble. “Airpumping” also known as “groove resonance” , where the grooves are compressed and then released again. (Structural) Vibrations of the tyre/carcass. Foamin Tyre(FIT) Tyre noise 'Why Foam-in-Tyre?' Tyre noise is mainly transmitted by: Airborne noise: Noise waves transmitted through air Body noise: Transmission by vehicle suspension One of the biggest noise sources, is the so-called Cavity Resonance which is transmitted into the car as body noise because of the axle construction. Foamin Tyre (FIT) Technology 'How does Foamin Tyre work' Technology: Once the tyre has been heated, a foam strip is fitted to the inner liner. This reduces tyre (carcass) noise considerably. Principle of operation: Elimination of resonance peaks. Effect: Reduction of interior car noise by a number of dB, to half of the tyre noise. Advantages: Relatively cost efficient Stable through the full life of the tyre Light enough not to influence running performance, roll resistance or high speed efficiency Currently available in Summer and Winter, also as All Season and ROF later. Can be repaired Effect of the tyre on noise perception Sounds are transmitted by 2 main mechanisms: By air movement (Air resonance): The air molecules are stimulated to vibrate (wave form). By structural resonance (Body resonance): Vibrations are transmitted by the vehicle structure. A large part of inerior car noise is due to resonance caused by vibration of the tyres. This is transmitted to the inside of the car via the structure (body resonance). Counter measures taken at noise source, in this case, at the tyre, are easier and more effective than they would be at other car components, e.g. at the drive train or the body. The solution How can the vibrations in the tyres be reduced? Fitting a foam strip to the inner liner of the tyre helps to markedly reduce the tyre (carcass) noise. Reduced resonance in peak range by up to 11dB(A) This makes a reduction of interior car noise of up to 3 - 4dB(A), possible. This means that it is only half as loud in the car as it would have been with normal tyres.
