Continental Tyre Malaysia Launches SportContact 7 UUHP Flagship Tyre
Continental Tyre Malaysia has launched its flagship Ultra Ultra High Performance (UUHP) SportContact 7 tyre. The SportContact 7 is the latest of the Generation 7 products introduced in Malaysia, and is developed to redefine performance criteria standards and provide unparalleled driving confidence on the road and the track.
The Continental SportContact 7 tyre features the latest technologies such as upgraded adaptive pattern that reacts to different driving behaviour by providing additional grip on the asphalt. Additionally, the latest development also includes Force Clustering that provides the same SportContact handling and tailor-made performance for every vehicle class, as well as the exclusive BlackChili technology that has been further harmonised with the tyre pattern concept to ensure a higher level of driving pleasure.
“For the past several years, we have been listening to customers feedback and observing various performance driving patterns of road users across the globe, including Malaysia. To meet the evolving driving patterns and customer needs, we have exclusively developed the Sport Contact 7 with stickier compounds that ensure a better grip for an enthusiastic driving experience with zero compromise on safety and comfort on the road,” said Andrea Somorova, Managing Director of Continental Tyre Malaysia.
With the latest adaptive pattern technology for straight roads, the SportContact 7 tyre is able to provide outstanding grip in wet conditions particularly under braking or acceleration, and avoid micro aquaplaning during cornering. The adaptive pattern of the SportContact 7 is also able to provide stable handling characteristics in the outer shoulder, allowing only limited movement of the pattern.
As heavy vehicles in the UUHP environment need different performance requirements than lighter vehicles, the SportContact 7 is the first Continental tyre that is tailor-made for every vehicle class and weight. The ultimate goal of this tyre is to provide the sportive feel and performance, and driving pleasure, regardless of the car.
The latest generation of resins combined with Continental’s revolutionary and exclusive BlackChili compound, has been refined with new plasticizer to create an ultra-sticky compound, which is used together with a groundbreaking low void profile design to create an significant leap in tyre performance.
With its latest technology and ability to cater to every vehicle’s needs, SportContact 7 has received numerous awards and accolades from 3rd party tyre review experts in Europe, including but not limited to Evo, AutoBild, Sport Auto, AutoExpress, WhatTyre, and Tyre Reviews.
The Continental SportContact 7 is available at all Continental Tyre dealerships nationwide. It comes in tyre sizes ranging from 18’’ to 23’’.
