Product description & features

The symmetrical tread on the Continental ContiSportContact 2 provides an advantage when it comes to warm weather steering and braking. The tread design is made with a stiff centre section to aid acceleration and braking. The outer edge of the tread has stiff blocks to aid cornering. Long tread grooves that are wider than the blocks provide water displacement. The tread design aids both dry and wet traction.

For vehicles that need to support a higher weight, the ContiSportContact 2 is available in reinforced XL versions. The ContiSportContact 2 is made for driving when temperatures are above 7 degrees. At Tyres.co.uk, we keep the reinforced XL versions in stock.

Highlights

  • Symmetrical tread pattern
  • Stiff centre section
  • Stiff outer tread blocks
  • Reinforced XL versions available
