'No trade-off' in Conti VanContact A/S Ultra
Continental’s engineers developed a new rubber compound, profile and sidewall to achieve the properties demanded by delivery service applications. The tyre maker emphasises that the resulting combination of profile design and rubber compound “ensures no trade-off between mileage and rolling resistance as well as wet grip.”
The engineers mixed new fillers into the rubber compound to reduce rolling resistance. The compound also contains functionalised polymers to provide high mileage during both summer and winter use.
