New Sports Tyre From Continental Starts With 42 Articles From 19 To 23 Inches

The new SportContact 7 is the latest generation of our very tried-and-tested, popular, sporty, summer tyre, the SportContact 6. Since its launch six years ago, the SportContact 6 has taken first place in a number of magazine tests – including sport auto and AutoBild sportscars – and received the highest recommendations. Leading European vehicle manufacturers mount tyres from the SportContact family ex works.

Together with their two other current summer tyre models, Continental covers almost 95 percent of market demand with their available sizes. “This means that we are able to provide tyres for almost all passenger cars, SUVs and vans in Europe,” reports Straten. “With the new SportContact 7, we also have a product that can meet the latest market trends.” In the last 15 years, vehicles have not only become around 10 percent heavier, but their engines have also grown by just under 30 percent. At the same time, the CO2 emissions of cars have been reduced by 30 percent. “Since all articles in the new tyre line have an increased load capacity in accordance with the XL standard, we can easily fit heavier cars, and with the new SportContact 7, whilst also supporting the trend towards greater sustainability,” he explains. “After all, it not only has significantly higher mileage, but also offers one of the lowest values in the UUHP segment with its fuel efficiency classified as class 'C’ on the EU tyre label. That makes the SportContact 7 a safe and appropriate choice for all sporty vehicles – whether conventional or electrically powered.”
