Continental SContact Tires
The Continental SContact is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles.
This model is a smaller-size spare tire. This temporary spare tire was designed with a smaller physical size, which comes with limitations. The tire is perfect for vehicles with limited trunk space, as its smaller size decreases the storage space it takes up. These tires offer a temporary performance in case the vehicle’s regular tire fails. Temporary spare tires are not able to perform in the same manner as regular tires.
The tire features a flat, narrow footprint that maintains its surface contact. This significantly increases steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire’s performance and controllability are updated, yet careful driving is still required. Adequate handling helps to ensure the driver’s control over the vehicle, offering better driving safety.
The Continental SContact offers better traction. The details of the footprint and the all season compound upgrade dry, wet, and light winter grip. The tread provides biting edges, while the compound keeps its rubber flexibility. Zigzag grooves minimize the possibility of hydroplaning, channeling water and slush from below the footprint.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
