Product description & features

  • Larger contact area, thanks to Macro-block design, of outside shoulder that can adapt to the road surface - provides improved grip and cornering.
  • Black Chili technology leads to shorter braking distances in both wet and dry conditions. Short-chain polymers in the compound react when braking to provide optimum energy absorption from which the heat reduces braking distances.
  • Reduced rolling resistance leads to improved mileage and lower fuel consumption.

Good in rain, great all round tyre - Always replace tyres with those fitted by manufacturer and both on same axel. Tyres are great for grip and noise reduction but unsure on longevity as not been on long enough, Would recommend for quality and price.

This pair of tyres are fitted to rear of VW TRoc. They have done 5,000 miles in 12 months but wear seems quite quick as tread left in now only 5.5 mm from 8.0 mm at new. The general performance and feel of the tyres is however excellent. - Handling improved since fitting this pair to rear to match those already fitted to front.

Well they are no longer on the car as they wore down really quickly. So won’t buy continentals again, I went for another brand and they are holding up much better. - They are very good in all weather conditions. Low road noise. - All very good, tyres performing as expected for Continentala.
