Product description & features

The Continental UltraContact is a summer touring tyre designed for long tread life for passenger cars and crossovers. It uses YellowChili, Continental's latest generation of tread compound, which employs a polymer network and abrasion resistant additives for low rolling resistance and reduction in tyre wear. UltraShield Construction protects the tread layers from impacts and poor road conditions. Noise Breakers 3.0 is an innovative solution that provides noise reduction by breaking and dissipating the air pulses that form when the tyre is in motion.

The UltraContact was added into Continental's European summer tyre offerings in 2022 as a dedicated long mileage tyre. Continental claims their mileage improvements and noise reduction enhancements for the UltraContact line are 50% and 15% when compared to their past generation of tyre. For a winter and summer hybrid solution, the AllSeasonContact 2 is Continental's offering and comes with the 3PMSF designation. We have the Continental UltraContact available at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Long tread life
  • Impact protection for tread layers
  • Reduced road noise

Tyre review for Continental UltraContact 205/55R17 95V XL
After putting on the new tyres, I left for Shetland, taking the ferry from Aberdeen to Lerwick. The road and weather conditions didn't affect how the tyres performed. After Shetland, I went by ferry to Orkney, and from there I sailed to Scrabster. I drove on to Inverness and around Stirling from there. The car was very nimble in all the different road conditions.
