Continental UltraContact UC6 SUV The ultimate balance of performance, safety, comfort and handling between urban life and long-distance trips. Safety for confidence in any condition: In wet conditions, specially designed Aqua Drainage elements quickly drain water through a unique tube system into the tread grooves. At the same time, the water film under the pattern blocks is pushed into the Aqua Channel surface sipes that accelerate water evacuation into the main grooves. The Chamfered Edge of the tread blocks prevents the rolling-in effect during braking. The braking pressure is evenly distributed across the tread block surface for maximum contact area, which delivers enhanced braking performance. Unleash your driving pleasure: SUVs typically are heavier vehicles with a higher centre of gravity than passenger cars. This puts more load on the tyres when braking and cornering. A Double Tie-bar structure in the tread design is placed in the lateral grooves on the shoulders to connect the blocks for higher stability and stiffness during braking. During cornering, the Double Tie-bar supports the blocks on the shoulders to form a solid tread element that stabilises the tread blocks and delivers direct feedback and high levels of grip. The next evolution of the well-known Noise Breaker interrupts sound waves in the grooves and divides them into smaller, less noisy waves, resulting in a quieter ride. Venture further for longer: The polymer chains of the UC6 SUV tread compound are entangled and connected to form an interlocked polymer network, which improves the tread's wear performance and robustness. The tread compound of the UC6 SUV contains silica, reduces tyre rolling resistance, and improves fuel efficiency. Since its foundation in Hanover, Germany, in 1871, Continental has been developing pioneering technologies and services for sustainable and connected mobility of people and their goods. From a small factory in Hanover, the company has evolved into one of the global players in the automotive industry, now operating in 56 countries and markets. Continental is the oldest independent and one of the world's largest tyre manufacturers. Over the past 150 years, the company has set standards in the tyre industry with its pioneering spirit and innovative strength. Time and again, it was Continental's engineers who, with their ground-breaking inventions, ensured that tyres became safer, more efficient, and sustainable. Meanwhile, Continental is connecting its tyres and their sensors to the cloud and offering its customers new, intelligent, digital tyre solutions and services.
