PremiumContact 6: Innovative Features for Enhanced Performance
Designed to meet the diverse and demanding conditions of Indian roads, the PC6 is engineered with advanced technologies to ensure unparalleled safety, performance, and comfort. Key technologies include:
- Macroblock Technology: Delivers exceptional stability and enhanced cornering control, providing sporty performance without compromising vehicle control.
- Silica Compound: Enhances grip on both wet and dry surfaces, making it a reliable choice for Indian drivers, whether navigating monsoon-drenched roads or enduring extreme summer heat.
- New Asymmetric Pattern Design: The new asymmetric rib geometry of pattern provides higher pattern stiffness and reduced block deformation for better grip under the effect of lateral forces
The PremiumContact 6 is available in Rim Sizes- 17 to 20 inches and is available at Continental Tires outlets across India.
ContiSealTM Technology: Experience Safety Like Never Before
ContiSeal™ technology is transforming tyre safety by eliminating the need for immediate roadside assistance in case of punctures. Unlike traditional tyres, ContiSeal™ ensures uninterrupted journeys, offering drivers peace of mind on both city streets and remote highways—perfect for India’s unpredictable and challenging road conditions.
This revolutionary self-sealing technology automatically seals 85% of tread punctures caused by objects up to 5 mm in diameter, such as nails or screws. A specially engineered viscous sealant layer inside the tyre instantly encapsulates the puncture, preventing air loss and maintaining tyre integrity.
Even if the penetrating object dislodges while driving, the tyre remains sealed, allowing drivers to continue without losing pressure.
Unlike conventional tyres that depend on additional systems like spare wheels, ContiSeal™ integrates a mobility solution directly into the tyre. This eliminates the inconvenience of carrying or relying on a spare wheel while providing superior safety and comfort.
With features like a flexible sealing layer that spans the tyre’s inner liner and immediate puncture sealing, ContiSeal™ exemplifies Continental’s commitment to innovation. It offers a seamless, worry-free driving experience by prioritizing driver safety and convenience in all circumstances.
Expanding Product Portfolio for Commercial Vehicle Applications in India
Continental Tires continues to cater to India’s Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (MHCV) segment with a product range designed for both cargo and passenger applications. These tyres are engineered to excel in Highway, Regional, and On/Off-Road scenarios, addressing diverse transportation needs.
Building on the existing portfolio, we are excited to introduce two additional sizes: 295/90 R20 and 235/75 R17.5, along with performance enhancements under our Construction Portfolio.
295/90 R20: Available in 5 advanced tread patterns, this size is tailored for Hybrid and Regional applications. With a higher load index and optimized tread patterns, it aligns with market demands by focusing on reducing operational costs for transporters.
235/75 R17.5: Specifically designed for Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) buses and trucks, this size offers optimal mileage and durability, meeting the expectations of customers prioritizing long-lasting performance.
These additions reflect Continental’s commitment to innovation and its focus on delivering high-performing products that drive efficiency and reliability for commercial transport in India.
