Product description & features

The Continental Premium Contact 2 summer tyre has short wet and dry braking distances thanks to its asymmetric tread pattern. These tyres feature Continental's 3D-Groove technology. Unlike standard grooves, the 3D-Groove technology uses a series of interlocking walls to brace the tread blocks. With an asymmetric design, the Bionic Contour groove shape changes under braking, which helps drive water out of the grooves and reduces aquaplaning.

The SSR version has the same inner construction as the Premium Contact 2, but uses Continental's self-supporting runflat technology. This technology is designed for vehicles equipped with a tyre-pressure monitoring system, after losing tyre pressure the sidewalls will support the weight of the vehicle. Continental claims that with a puncture the tyres can be run for 50 miles at a maximum speed of 50 miles per hour. At Tyres.co.uk, we offer the SSR version of the Continental Premium Contact 2.
