Continental ContiWinterContact TS 830 tires

** Continental ContiWinterContact TS 830 ** ensures an increased level of security, and also has an enlarged perspective and reduced rolling resistance. This is possible thanks to a specially designed tread structure with three-dimensional Sipes and optimized design of new type sidewall, as well as a new compound from polymers. This novelty, intended for vehicles with rim diameter from 15 to 16 inches and an index speeds up to 210 km/h, goes on sale this fall.

As before, the drivers drive on winter roads cautiously. And no wonder: in the cold season, the risk of an ACCIDENT is increased in 6 times compared to summer, more than half of all TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS occur on the roads in winter (according to a study of the transport environment, Continental 2004). Cars on the roads is increasing, and road service gradually abandoning the use of reagents. In order to help drivers cope with this difficult road situation, tyre manufacturers are developing technically sophisticated winter tires.

Technicians work primarily on improving brake performance and a reduction in the time of acceleration on icy, snowy and wet roads. For the new ContiWinterContact TS 830 ** ** developer Mathias Zeng proposed directional tread design with functional separation. The central part of the tread pattern is designed to provide traction on ice and shoulder zone for highly effective braking on snow. To do this, in the central part of the new tyre tread ContiWinterContact TS 830 ** ** posted large claws and a large number of Sipes that optimizes grip. The shoulder areas there are a large number of gruntozacepov and a small number of Sipes that greatly improve traction on snow.

Thus, in the shoulder tread are more than 100 faces of gruntozacepov, improving grip, and the total length of all lamellae on the tyre tread reaches 30 meters, "said Mr. Zeng. "This amount of tread element guarantees excellent grip on snow and ice. Compared to the previous model, the new ContiWinterContact TS 830 ** ** have increased area of contact, that provides a more efficient contact.

Unique patented 3D Sipes novelties ContiWinterContact TS 830 ** ** allow tires to maintain elasticity when driving in a straight line, but at the same time, be strong and stiff in the turns. Thus, the tires show the excellent reaction to steering when cornering at high speeds, which is very important when you want to overtake unexpectedly hindrance on the road. Also works effectively directional tread: it provides a quick water drainage while driving in rainy weather and a quick tap of the snow-water porridge from the contact patch. Thanks to the directional tread pattern tyres have a reduced noise level when driving and reduced rolling resistance.

Continental tire design engineers have also created an innovative tread compound with the addition of Silicon "H.A.F.T.", which greatly optimizes grip on snowy, icy, wet roads and reduces rolling resistance.

We managed to improve the road characteristics on ice and snow up to 7%, as compared to the previous model performance on wet and dry roads were improved by 5%.

Performance indicators have been optimized by more than 10%, "says Mr. Mathias Zeng. Thanks to the innovative composition of rubber mixture with the addition of Silicon so important to save fuel and reduce harmful emissions indicator such as rolling resistance, tire ContiWinterContact TS 830 ** ** is comparable with the level of tyre rolling resistance. Thanks to the structure of the tread, the new ContiWinterContact TS 830 ** ** suitable for use on vehicles with ABS and ESC systems.

Production of tires ** ContiWinterContact TS 830 ** will begin in the summer and by autumn the novelty already will be on sale.
