225/55 R17  CONTINENTAL Ultra Contact UC6

UltraContact UC6 Perfect as a diamond!

Description:

• Full control on wet roads
• Extreme short braking distances in dry and wet road conditions
• High grip level combined with long durability
• Low noise level

Features and Benefits:

1. Higher Safety on Wet Roads:

• For added safety, Aqua Channel surface sipes quickly directs the water film from the tread pattern as they contact the road. This gives the tyre enhanced water evacuation ability.
• On wet roads, the centre of the tyre is at highest risk from aquaplaning.
• To further reduce this risk, specially developed Aqua Drainage elements are positioned to quickly push water through a tube system into the tread grooves.

2. Extreme short braking distances in dry and wet conditions:

• The chamfered angle of the diamond edge in the pattern maximizes the contact area of the pattern to distribute the braking forces more evenly while braking.
• Without this chamfer, the tread block distorts and loses some of its contact with the
• In wet conditions, the Diamond Edge acts as a wiper that clears the water film away from the tread blocks for short braking.

3. Adaptive superb grip level and long mileage:

• The new adaptive Diamond Blend Compound Consists of two polymer types:
• The short grip polymers are activated when the vehicle is driving through corners or while braking. This energy is transformed into heat to enable high grip and short braking distances.
• The long mileage polymers are entangled and therefore strongly connected to each other, which ensures a high mileage performance.
