Continental PremiumContact 6
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Summer weather traction
High speed controllability
High driving comfort levels
OVERVIEW
The Continental PremiumContact 6 is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The tire promotes great summer weather traction. It combines the asymmetric tread design and the durable silica compound to improve the dry and wet weather road grip. The silica in the compound enhances the heat resistance in high heat summer temperatures, while the tread elements boost the grip on the road surface. The three continuous ribs along the tread area improve the hydroplaning resistance. They channel water and slush away from the tire's footprint, further improving the wet weather performing safety.
The tread design and the durable compound work together to enhance the tire's controllability. The asymmetric tread's continuous center ribs closely follow the road surface, which upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering is quicker and more precise, while the structural stability is ensured during the drive. The reinforced construction and the durable silica compound enable the tire's high speed performance. The structure keeps the ideal tire shape, while the compound prevents heat build-up during the tire's performance, maintaining the ideal traction. The silica compound and the ideal surface contact also promote a shortened braking distance. They create friction between the tire and the road surface to enhance the braking power and improve the braking capability.
The PremiumContact 6 upgrades the driving comfort during the drive. The optimized tire footprint closely follows the road surface during its performance. The close road contact enables the model to absorb the driving shock throughout the drive, which minimizes the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The asymmetric tread channels airwaves through the footprint, without allowing their contact with the tread elements. As a result, no road noise is generated while the tires are in motion. The model, in this manner, guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
This specific tire is marked with MO as it is the original equipment of Mercedes vehicles.
