The Continental ContiSportContact is a Max Performance tyre that was developed to meet the needs of the drivers of powerful sports cars, sports coupes and luxury sedans. The ContiSportContact features Continental's bionic contour and bionic compound technology to enhance braking and handling as well as resistance to hydroplaning. On the outside, the ContiSportContact features a bionic tread compound technology that is based on nature. The design of a spider's web, which is both elastic and stable, was used for the first time in the creation of a tyre compound that is both flexible and firm. The bionic tread compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design that enhances steering response and steering precision while the tire's continuous ribs provide the circumferential stiffness to transmit drive and braking forces. The continuous circumferential tread grooves between the ribs help disperse water to resist hydroplaning. Internally, the ContiSportContact tyre features Continental's "Advanced Mold Contour" (AMC), which allows the tyre to become wider during braking to help shorten stopping distances. The ContiSportContact 2 features twin steel belts reinforced by nylon to stabilize the tread area and enhance handling as well as high-speed capability.
