Technology description:
Continental CrossContact ATR are tyres designed for SUVs and are rated as premium products, but for who? Continental prepared a review of their tyres including the percentage share of asphalt/off-road surfaces during their use. The presented model has the ratio of 70/30, for ContiCrossContact AT it is 50/50, for ContiCrossContact LX 2 it is 80/20 and for PremiumContact 6 it is 100/0 (which means that the latter is a typical tyre made for asphalt roads).
The model is equipped with a symmetric tread pattern, which performs excellently in variable weather conditions. At the same time, the model is manufactured using a modern rubber compound with an advanced composition (one of the components being silica). Together with the grooves in the tread, it enables safe driving on wet surfaces. The vehicle sticks well to the road, quickly responds to the steering wheel and efficiently brakes even in heavy rain.
Continental CrossContact ATR is not only safe, but also comfortable. The system of blocks and grooves in the tread pattern perfectly dampens any vibrations generated during driving, which translates into the silent operation of the tyre.
Off-road traction is cared for by the special “tooth” installed between the tread grooves and its open shape with numerous channels responsible for water and mud drainage. As a result, the vehicle is stable on loose surfaces. When travelling on rocky roads, the tyre’s structure offers quick cleaning from gravel and resistance to cuts or other mechanical damage. This translates into long a long useful life even with intensive use.
