The ContiSportContact line contains Continental’s high-performance summer tires. Each tire in the line offers unique features. Externally, the ContiSportContact features an asymmetrical tread design that enhances steering response and steering precision while the tire’s continuous ribs provide the circumferential stiffness to help transmit acceleration and braking forces. Internally, the ContiSportContact features twin steel belts reinforced by nylon to stabilize the tread area and enhance handling as well as high-speed capability. The ContiSportContact 2 features Continental’s bionic contour and bionic compound technology to enhance braking and handling as well as resistance to hydroplaning. The ContiSportContact 3 features asymmetrical pattern ribs to provide shorter braking distances and improved 
steering precision. The ContiSportContact Vmax is the world’s first road-legal tire that is capable of speeds up to 225mph (360 km/h). The tire is the natural heir to the ContiSportContact 2. The ContiSportContact Vmax’s tread and carcass were adapted to the high technical requirements. The tire features slightly reduced tread depth and a tread structure with more grooves on the inner part of the tire to reduce heat generation. The tire also has new cooling grooves and deeper, wider tread grooves that lead to better dissipate heat and allow a safe and dynamic way of driving at top speeds.
Another popular, innovative Continental tire is the ContiTouringContant CT/CH/CV/CW95. This product line is perfect for high-performance touring cars. They offer a smooth, low-noise ride and an unbeatable warranty. These tires feature a tri-radial tread contour that provides better wear, quiet ride, and a greater resistance to hydroplaning. The tire’s unique compound lowers rolling resistance for better gas mileage.
