The new ExtremeContact DW ultra-high performance tire
from Continental Tire North America, Inc. is specially
engineered to deliver serious performance on both dry and
wet roads. The ExtremeContact DW (tuned for Dry & Wet
conditions) is part of a new line of performance tires from
Continental |
Continental Tire is taking ultra-high performance all-season
tire technology to a whole new level with the ExtremeContact
DWS. The ExtremeContact DWS is fine-tuned to deliver extreme grip in Dry, Wet and Snow conditions. |
|
The ExtremeContact DW delivers improved performance
thanks to new technologies:
-
Chamfered Edges and a Solid Outer Shoulder enhance
dry performance.
-
Dynamic Temperature Distribution reduces distortion
for enhanced energy delivery, lower rolling resistance and
improved tread-life.
-
High Void to Tread Ratio with Enhanced Groove
Curvature improves water evacuation for outstanding wet
handling.
The ExtremeContact DW also features Tuned Performance
Indicators. These are visible letters built into the second rib
of the tread which alert drivers to the tire’s optimal
performance levels. “D” indicates the tire is at optimum
tread depth for dry conditions. “W” indicates the tire is at
optimum tread depth for wet conditions. As the tire wears
and the indicators disappear, the tire is no longer tuned for
optimum performance in that particular road condition.
“The ExtremeContact DW sets a whole new standard for the
ultra-high performance tire market. This tire delivers extreme
levels of performance on both wet and dry roads, while still
maintaining ride comfort and improved gas mileage,” said
Joe Maher, product manager for performance tires,
Continental Tire North America. |
