RedChili – Optimal hold, even at low temperatures

Another new feature of the PremiumContact 7 is the innovative RedChili compound: The rubber compound for tires is usually made up of natural rubber and synthetic components. Because each element requires a specific temperature to achieve optimum performance, the grip of the tire can also be influenced via a targeted selection and composition of the materials. With the new compound for the PremiumContact 7, Continental has succeeded in enabling optimum performance across the broadest possible temperature range. This allows the tire to develop high grip even at low temperatures in daily traffic – without any prior warm-up phase. Customers particularly benefit from this during the transitional spring and fall months.

Adaptive tread design for more stability and comfort

The adaptive tread design of the PremiumContact 7 ensures even greater stability and ride comfort on both wet and dry roads: Wide lateral openings in the outer areas of the tread pattern provide optimum drainage when driving straight ahead because the ground contact surface ends precisely at the point with the widest opening. During cornering, the ground contact surface shifts outward and the lateral openings close again, providing more rubber and better grip on the road. “In this way, we have resolved the tradeoff between optimal water removal and perfect dry handling. The result is excellent driving stability on wet surfaces, during braking, cornering and accelerating.
