The new ContiSportContact 5 - Control never has been sportier

Unlimited driving fun thanks to excellent grip.
With the launch of the ContiSportContact™ 5, Continental has developed a tyre which is equally suitable for sporty cars + SUVs with sporty driving characteristics. With this new development, the tyre engineers have made significant progress in camparison to the popular predecessor ContiSportContact™ 3: Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions.

Excellent road grip and safety when cornering. 
Reduced fuel consumption and high mileage. This was made possible due to a new compound which focuses on maximum power transmission and provides low rolling resistance whilst driving normally. This rubber compound which carries the name 'BlackChilli' uses the various vibrations of the tyre.

For high-performance and luxury vehicles. The performance tyre, with outstanding handling and control.
Engineered in Germany, Continental offers premium tyres with optimum braking performance and safety. With our Black Chilli Technology you have excellent road grip and handling just as safety when cornering. Highly recommended by Auto Bild in their summer tyre test 2014 (sizes tested: 225/50 R 17 W/Y).

Highlights:

• Safety shorter stopping distance
• Performance excellent
• Handling
• High mileage potential
• Environment fuel efficient

Excellent road grip and handling just as safety when cornering. The macro-block design of the tyre’s outside shoulder provides a larger contact area, which can therefore adapt optimally to the road surface. The ContiSportContact™ 5 offers improved road grip and thus more safety when cornering.

Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions. When braking, the tyre has a high natural frequency within the compound. Short-chain polymers in the Black Chilli compound of the ContiSportContact™ 5 react to this braking frequency and thus provide optimal energy absorption. The resulting heat shortens the braking distance on wet and dry roads.

Reduced fuel consumption and high mileage. At a constant speed, the vibrations in the compound are significantly lower. The long-chain polymers within the compound can release the absorbed energy better, resulting in considerably reduced rolling resistance. Thus, the tyre runs more easily and remains cool – for a higher mileage and a reduced fuel consumption.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4

Excellent steering control and high level of reactivity

«Dynamic Response» Technology: a hybrid belt of Aramid and Nylon ensures optimum transmission of steering instructions onto the road. An ultra-reactive Tread Pattern Design, coming from motorsport experience (Formula E, WRC), adapts continuously to the road, for optimized footprint on the road.

High level of safety on wet roads

A new mix of compound with specific “functional elastomers” and hydrophobic Silica provides excellent wet grip and braking. Wide and deep longitudinal grooves ensure a high level of drainage on wet roads.

Michelin’s excellence in longevity

Coming from co-operation with emblematic car manufacturers and from MICHELIN motorsport experience.

The MICHELIN PILOT SPORT tireline is co-designed with the most demanding car manufacturers (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche). The tread pattern design comes from motorsport experience.

Lasts 7 340 km longer than Continental Sport Contact 5 tyre (1)

(1) Tests carried out by DEKRA Test Center in April 2015 on Golf 6, with 225/45-17 94Y/W XL tires and in July 2015 with 225/40-18 92Y XL tires. The CONTINENTAL Sportcontact 5 tyre covered 7.340km less than the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 tyre.

The void ratio of the inside and outside are respectively 38% and 34%, and it can improve tire’s drainage efficiency and also wet handling.

With broadened circumferential groove width, the section area of inside/ outside grooves are increased 21.3% and 43.8% respectively compared to the conventional design. And it can increase the volume to contain more water for better drainage performance.

Brand new profile design and reinforced sidewall design can upgrade tire stiffness.

Serrated wall of circumferential groove: Discharge water in the circumferential grooves promptly and effectively, as well as reduce the noise caused by the friction between airflow and groove wall.

For inside and outside lateral groove on tread shoulder, we use chamfering design to optimize the angle of lateral grooves, and it can reduce tire’s rolling sound and improve block stiffness effectively.

Precise handling and good directional stability on winding roads.
The high lateral stiffness due to closed shoulders with macroblocks lead to a superb transmission of lateral forces at minor steering angles. The effect of excellent handling on winding roads is complemented by intermediate ribs which guarantee good directional stability.

Short wet braking distances.
The large number of gripping edges provided by sipes and the high number of pitches improve the contact with the road surface. The state of the art tread compound also guarantees optimum adhesion and short stopping distances on wet road surfaces.

High mileage.
The wide, flat contour and a high number of pitches and sipes evenly distribute the pressure. The block deformation in the ground contact area is thereby reduced and the wear is low, which increases the mileage.

High Mileage

Feature: A wide, flat contour with a large number of pitches and sipes
Effect: Even pressure distribution and reduced block deformation on the ground contact area
Benefit: Higher mileage thanks to reduced and even wear

Dry Handling

Feature: High lateral stiffness thanks to closed shoulders with macro-blocks

Uniroyal RainSport 3 - The black shark

The new RainSport 3 – the latest-generation rain tyres.
The new Uniroyal RainSport 3 combines the best of two worlds to set a new standard in wet-weather performance. Its flowoptimised asymmetrical pattern optimally combines the benefits of asymmetrical and directional patterns. The result: maximum protection against aquaplaning as well as optimal grip when cornering and quiet interior noise throughout the tyre’s lifetime.

For compact-, middle- and upper-class vehicles and SUVs. Uniroyal offers more than 45 years of rain tyre know-how for optimum performance in the wet. High safety against aquaplaning. Rated as „recommended“ in the Auto, Motor & Sport summer tyre test 2014 (tested size 205/55 R16 V). It is the best tyre for longitudinal aquaplaning and wet handling.

Bionic: high-tech learns a lesson from nature.
The Uniroyal RainSport 3 is the first ever tyre to feature the completely new Shark Skin Technology. Uniroyal has transferred the unique flow-optimised quality of sharkskin to the surface structure in the longitudinal grooves of a tyre. Shark Skin Technology minimises turbulence, so that water can be channelled away more quickly – for maximum protection against aquaplaning.

• High aquaplaning safety
• Short braking distances
• High grip when cornering
• Quiet interior noise

High safety against aquaplaning. The new Shark Skin Technology and Ultimate Flow Structure optimise water flow. For the RainSport 3 the shark skin structure has been transferred to the longitudinal grooves of the pattern improving the aquaplaning safety.

Short braking distances on wet roads. Numerous grip edges due to a high volume of sipes improve the contact with the road surface. Due to extensive cushioning of the tread compound this leads to short braking distances on wet roads even in high braking situation.

High grip when cornering. Fast Curve Configuration provides the shoulder blocks high lateral stiffness for a direct transfer of the side forces. The flexible shoulder blocks enlarge the ground contact surface. Both lead to high grip when cornering on wet and dry roads.

Excellent safety on wet roads

The sporty Nokian zLine is a professional in demanding driving conditions, thanks to its new generation of tread compound, nanotechnology layered structure, and tread pattern developed for fast driving.

It immediately responds to steering, which is an essential requirement for safe operation at extreme limits.

The new Nokian Intelligent UHP Silica: lower heat generation, better wet grip

The Nokian Intelligent UHP Silica tread compound developed for Nokian zLine was specially tailored for demanding use at higher speeds. The new UHP tread compound was refined to have extremely low heat generation, maximising the available mileage and ensuring good structural integrity.

The rubber compound works ideally along a wide temperature range, thereby improving wet grip that drivers will truly appreciate. The feel of the road is perfect and provides no surprises under any conditions.

Tread pattern supports optimal handling

The new, modern tread shape of the Nokian zLine perfectly supports the precise driving feel of this high-performance tyre. As in the other Nokian summer tyres designed for fast driving, the tread is of an asymmetrical inside-outside pattern.

The rigid inside and outside shoulder area connects with block patterns that are bound together by longitudinal ribs. The wide, massive ribs stiffen the tyre and reduce the movement of the pattern blocks during road contact.

The longitudinal ribs next to the inner shoulder are dominated by deep lateral grooves that stabilise handling. At the same time, this new Hydro Grooves innovation effectively prevents aquaplaning by storing water from between the surface and the tyre, and by guiding the water into the longitudinal grooves. The innovation ensures a safe driving feel, even in the rain.

To combat aquaplaning, separate Swoop Grooves were also shaped in the transversal main grooves on the outer shoulder.

More driving comfort and durability

The semi-circular indentations, reminiscent of a golf ball, on the walls of the transversal grooves provide additional driving comfort for the Nokian zLine.

This Silent Groove Design innovation reduces the interior noise and external rolling noise of the vehicle.

Even motorists who are used to higher speeds can rely on the Nokian zLine for years of service, even as the tyre gets older and wears down. The extremely stiff steel belt pack, designed for fast Central European roads and combined with a double body structure, is made of high-strength steel wire.

The tough, durable Nokian zLine is sure to work well even on poor road sections. A new rim guard provides additional protection for the edge of the rim.
