Continental UltraContact 225/60 R18 100H

Premium summer tires for cars with internal combustion engines, hybrids and electric vehicles. The tire is manufactured with the expectation of having the longest possible service life. It was equipped with an asymmetrical tread pattern, which places emphasis on the tightest possible fit to the road surface. This ensures more efficient transmission of traction and braking forces.

The constancy of the contact patch is ensured by the Diamond Edge “diamond edges” along the edges of the lateral tread areas. The Continental UltraContact 225/60 R18 100H blocks have multiple Aqua Channel lamellas cut through them, working like pumps to remove excess water masses. Another technological know-how in the drainage design of the tire is special round Drainpipe notches in the central ridge of the tread pattern blocks.

Water that gets into the pits is immediately redirected to the circumferential channels for drainage from the contact spot. The rubber mixture of the model is made according to the Diamond Black formula with the addition of special polymers that form short and long molecular bonds. Taken together, this “recipe” for making a compound increases the grip properties of rubber, improves vehicle stability when performing maneuvers, reduces fuel consumption and minimizes tread wear. Finally, Noise Breakers 2.0 noise-cancelling elements provide a high level of acoustic comfort.
