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 205/60R16 96H XL
Compared to the mid range tyres I had used previously, they are incredibly quiet. They also provide great traction.

Tyre review for Continental UltraContact 205/60R16 96H XL
They've been outstanding performers ever since the rain and snow began and handled both conditions, and dry roads, phenomenally!

Excellent value for money and are outliving my last set of tyres; they seem to last double the time.
