For the sake of safety and the environment

Developed for mid-sized and compact class vehicles. Perfect for safe, fuel efficient driving. Engineered in Germany, Continental offers premium tyres with optimum braking performance and safety. Optimised rolling resistance for reduced fuel consumption. Trusted by leading car manufacturers, including the models eg. Audi A3, BMW Series 3 and Peugeot 1007.

The new Performance-Eco tire

Combining short braking distances on wet and dry roads with low rolling resistance has in the past always been considered extremely problematic. Europe's leading tire manufacturer Continental has now launched a product which resolves this problem with apparent ease - the new ContiEcoContact™ 5. The tire engineers did, however, have to tread new ground in terms of all the tire elements involved - casing, compound, tire contour and tread pattern design - in order to achieve the high level of progress.

The main target conflicts when reducing rolling resistance relate to the safety-relevant characteristics of a tire. This means that the conflict between rolling resistance and handling can be influenced via the design, whilst the tire compound can assist in the problem area of low rolling resistance and short braking distances in the wet, changing the tire contour allows mileage performance to be enhanced, and the tread pattern can have a positive effect on braking characteristics in the wet. The sum total of the potential improvements helps the new tire to achieve a considerably better overall performance with even more balanced driving characteristics. The engineers at Continental therefore focused on all these areas in order to meet the high requirements made on the new tire for compact cars and large saloons.

Technical details

For the sake of safety and the environment. Optimised rolling resistance for reduced fuel consumption. The ContiEcoContact 5 was developed in close co-operation with Europe’s leading car manufacturers. This is an entirely new tire concept aimed specifically at motorists who drive longer distances, but also at those who are very mindful of both fuel consumption and the environment.

The challenge was to reduce rolling resistance on the tire and, at the same time, ensure a high level of safety during braking. This required a completely new approach to all four components of the tire: design, contour, compound and tread pattern. The result was reduced CO2 emissions and lower fuel consumption, while still delivering excellent braking performance. High braking safety and short braking distances on wet roads. The combination of special additives and optimised tread lug edges makes for improved grip in the wet, leading to short, safe braking distances on wet roads. Moreover, functionalised polymer chains firmly linked to the silica mean lower rolling resistance.

Extra-thin sipes reduce tread deformation, thereby also minimising energy loss. Best handling on wet and dry roads. A higher apex and the use of additional bead reinforcements ensure safer and more direct transmission of the lateral forces occurring when steering on wet and dry roads. The weight-reduced sidewall is more supple in its design, thereby also contributing towards improved rolling resistance. Less lost energy with good handling characteristics. Less deformation movement in the sidewall area above the rim and easier deflection in the sidewall flexing zone by constructive measures. A flat contour with optimal distribution of thread grooves stands for a reduced tread movement and a minimized lateral and longitudinal slip.

Thanks to minimal wear you can be sure to go further – with regard to mileage as well as superb driving comfort. The Brillantis 2 provides the perfect combination of economy and long service life. Balanced driving characteristics and a precise steering response make this tire a good all-round solution.

The Brillantis 2 features:

• High mileage performance
• Greater safety
• Increased aquaplaning safety
• Short braking distances
• Fits perfectly for example to Skoda Citigo, VW Golf VII and Renault Mégane

Technical details:

• Flat contour, good ground pressure distribution
• High mileage performance forprolonged driving fun
• Pleasantly low rolling noise

High mileage.
The flat contour of the Brillantis 2 evenly distributes the ground pressure. This increases mileage.

Greater safety during critical steering manoeuvres.
The asymmetrical tread with a solid outer shoulder gives the tyre good transverse rigidity in the outer shoulder blocks. The result: greater safety for critical steering manoeuvres.

Greater protection against aquaplaning and shorter braking distances on wet roads.
Continuous lateral grooves on the inside and narrow grooves in the blocks allow water to flow away freely. This increases aquaplaning prevention and shortens the braking distances on wet roads.

Low rolling noise.
The reduced width of grooves in the shoulder area and a lower volume of transverse grooves make road noise pleasantly quiet.

Comfort and safety across the entire range
Developed for compact- and middle-class vehicles and SUVs.
Outstanding aquaplaning safety and ideal comfort.
Fits perfectly for example to Ford Fiesta, Renault Twingo and Alfa Romeo Mito.

High aquaplaning safety
The new RainExpert 3 has a tread structure based on the shark skin.
This special tread minimises water turbulence and channels water away from the tread more quickly.
This means the tyre provides a high level of protection against aquaplaning.

Short braking distances on wet and dry roads
The tyre tread grips the road surface perfectly, establishing strong contact.
This extra adhesion leads to short stopping distances on dry and wet roads.

Low rolling resistance on any road
With the RainExpert 3 the tread surface is used to optimum effect in contact with the road.
This leads to reduced loss of friction, resulting in lower rolling resistance on all road surfaces and reduced wear.

Nankang Snow SV-2 is the tire of new generation, combining exceptionally responsive steering feel with the smooth and quite refinement. Even at the high speed, SV-2 provides drivers with the confidence in various weather conditions of winter. A winter tyre for compact and middle-class vehicles: the v-shaped tread design of SV-2 tyres ensure for added security in all driving conditions, thanks to its special lamella technology and silicone mix.

Circumferential V-shaped four-groove design enhances drainage efficiency on wet road. The enlarged contact area at the void ratio at 32% shortens braking distance on dry/wet road and enhance icy grip. Three dimensional solid sipe enhances pattern block stiffness, shortens braking distance on dry/wet road and upgrades maneuverability & cornering ability on icy road. Solid groove wall design prevents irregular wear and improves snow maneuverability. Unique compound enhances tread stiffness and surface frivtion to shorten braking distance.

The fuel-saving tyre for long life and confident wet or dry handling

The new Goodyear EfficientGrip Compact combines high mileage and fuel efficiency with shorter braking distances in wet or dry.

Environmentally friendly. A stiffer tread design reduces rolling resistance, resulting in lower CO2 emissions, while regular wear means longer tyre life and less waste generated.

Shorter braking distances on wet and dry roads. A new tread design features dual wide grooves, extra large sipes and multiple biting edges to cut through surface water for improved braking in the wet.

Better resistance to aquaplaning. A rounder cavity shape stops the accumulation of water in front of the tyre to help prevent aquaplaning.

Improved fuel efficiency and mileage. Advances in tyre components and construction reduce overall tyre weight by 5%* for improved rolling resistance, while optimised pressure distribution promotes even tyre wear.

FuelSaving Technology

Better fuel efficiency and value By improving manufacturing materials and techniques, Goodyear have shaved 5%* off the tyre's weight. This reduces rolling resistance, so you'll save on fuel and enjoy better mileage. Improved pressure distribution across the tyre means you'll also benefit from more even wear across the treads.

Environmentally friendly A lower rolling resistance also makes the tyre more eco-friendly, as its lower fuel consumption means less CO2 emissions. Because it wears evenly, the tyre will also need to be replaced less frequently, which helps reduce waste.

Improved braking in all conditions Extra wide grooves and plenty of sharp biting edges for slicing through surface water feature on the EfficientGrip Compact's new tread design, to deliver shorter braking distances in both rainy and dry weather.

Aquaplaning resistance Feel safe on the road in all weathers with tyres designed to reduce aquaplaning. Rounder cavity shapes prevent water from building up in front of the tyre, to reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
