The ContiPremiumContactT 5 The perfect allrounder which combines comfort and safety at the highest stage. The ContiPremiumContactT 5 is the new allround premium tire for vehicles in the compact, midsize and fullsize category. The allrounder boasts extremely short braking distances on dry and wet roads, low rolling resistance, safe driving properties and comfortable handling characteristics. To realize all of this, Continental's development engineers imbued the ContiPremiumContactT 5 with a host of improvements.
The optimized 3D edges are what make for shorter braking distances than in the case of the predecessor model. Adapted from the ContiSportContactT 5, the macroblocks guarantee safe handling and better transmission of cornering forces. A new carcass adapted this time from the ContiEcoContactT 5 enhances comfort and reduces the ContiPremiumContactT 5's rolling resistance. Newly developed 3D edges prevent the tread blocks from curling and deforming while braking, providing even pressure distribution.
Additionally, block edges penetrate the water film on the road in wet conditions, similar to a windscreen wiper. This results in even shorter stopping distances on dry and wet surfaces in particular. Perfect grip and optimal handling in every driving situation. Computeroptimised macro blocks maximise the contact area of the tyre when strong lateral forces are present and when braking or changing lanes at high speed. In addition, they provide considerably improved tread stability for perfect handling and outstanding grip, even in extreme driving situations.Comfortable driving and improved rolling resistance.
The combination of a flexibly designed tyre shoulder and reinforced bead area ensures optimum flexibility with increased stability of the side wall. This results in noticeably more comfortable driving with perfect handling and improved rolling resistance. The perfect allround tyre, matching performance with safety. Engineered in Germany, Continental offers premium tyres with optimum braking performance and safety. Perfect grip, optimal handling and short braking distances in every driving situation.
Trusted by leading car manufacturers, including the models eg. Perfect grip and optimal handling in every driving situation. Comfortable driving and improved rolling resistance. The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012. With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decisionmaking aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safetyrelevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc. Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer.
These tests usually focus on further safetyrelevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
