Continental ContiEcoContact 5 tires

Until now it was thought impossible to combine in one tire short braking distance on wet and dry roads with low rolling resistance. A leading European manufacturer of ** Continental ** represents bus ** ContiEcoContact 5 , which at first glance easy combines these qualities. In this case, the developers had to optimize all components tyres-frame rubber blend profile tires and tread pattern to achieve significant progress in comparison with the previous models. These steps enabled with shorter brake ways to reduce rolling resistance by 20 percent and increase the need for tires on 12 per cent. Thanks to this car with tires ** ContiEcoContact 5 , may expend fuel approximately three per cent less than the same car with conventional tires. Rolling resistance occurs due to the deformation of the tire while driving. The reduced rolling resistance can negatively impact primarily on the characteristics of the tyres, security-related. But design improvements can reduce rolling resistance without compromising manageability: new rubber compound with low rolling resistance will reduce the braking distance on wet road and tire profile is to improve mileage and braking performance on wet roads. The amount of these benefits helps to significantly increase the overall performance and balanced way qualities. ** Design ** Developers ** 5 ContiEcoContact ** set ourselves the goal of reducing rolling resistance, which occurs when the deformation of the tyre on at least six per cent of. To do this, they focused primarily on optimization of sidewall and bead-rings with which tyre clings to the rim. In doing so, should not suffer handling car can quickly react to dangerous situations. For this purpose was developed by special filling cord from the more solid mixture, which makes tire more rigid and reduces warping boards. In addition, specialists ** Continental ** used new rubber blend during fabrication of sidewall to reduce the thickness of the material and the weight of the tires. As a result of the work done, including subsequent adaptation components to each other, the new tire easily springs in the zone of the sidewall, while maintaining superb handling. ** Compound ** rubber compound from which is a treadmill, in modern passenger bus affects many of its characteristics. One of the most important qualities is a safe grip on wet roads, it is very difficult to save by reducing the rolling resistance. Yet chemists searched for Continental's new mix this solution to rolling resistance decreased by five per cent, and the brake path ** Continental ContiEcoContact 5 ** became even shorter. Use the original polymer chains that have a better link contained in the compound silicate, has made it possible to limit the movement of chemical components of mixtures, as well as improving grip on wet road. Now, thanks to a new compound for the manufacture of a treadmill, could substantially reduce rolling resistance, and simultaneously reduce the braking distance compared to previous models. ** Contour ** Engineers discovered the potential to reduce rolling resistance and tyre support surface. If you have a low rolling resistance increases the need for tires, t. is. wear resistance. Developers of tires ** Continental ** using a flat profile tires and optimize tread depth have made reducing the mobility of the layers of belts, thereby dropping the longitudinal and transversal sliding. In this way, rolling resistance has been reduced by three per cent, and the need for an increase of 12 per cent of tyres. ** Tread pattern ** Modifying tread pattern, you can influence the rolling resistance and braking performance on wet roads. Developer task here was to reduce the deformation of tread in contact spot. For its implementation specialists ** Continental ** used very thin lamellae. They represent small incisions in tread lugs, and wet their edges work like stekloočistitelâm. Edge break water film in contact with asphalt, so stopping short and safe. Lamellas are executed with great accuracy, so during the movement of tread blocks are not deformed, and less energy is lost. In addition, the edges of the tread blocks remain resistant and can efficiently transfer energy from braking, which opens up further opportunities to reduce the rolling resistance. ** Safe braking at a low rolling resistance ** Tyre ** ContiEcoContact 5 ** shows a very low rolling resistance in combination with safe running characteristics, as well as other improvements. Rolling resistance has been reduced by 20 per cent, the need has increased by 12%, and the braking distance was shortened even compared to secure previous model. Despite the fact that some bus requirements seem to be mutually exclusive, the specialists of the company ** Continental ** proved that when developing tyres can be made significant progress, if consistently improve all components for this goal. ** ContiEcoContact 5 ** is a model that combines the careful use of resources, fuel economy and shorter braking distances.
