According to Continental, premium tyres greatly improve braking, handling, and comfort—especially in wet conditions where the right tyre can prevent accidents. Proper tyre pressure is just as crucial, ensuring even wear, better fuel efficiency, and optimal grip. It’s the tyre that makes the difference. A vehicle’s power lies in its tyres.
Three aspects are essential for the overall driving performance: the car, the road conditions and, in particular, the tyres.
- Premium tyres increase driving safety, comfort and efficiency
- New vehicles can reach their full potential only with premium tyres
- Premium tyres significantly improve the performance of aged vehicles
- Especially when braking on wet surfaces, the tyre is more important than the car
- Regarding steering precision, tyres are responsible for around half of the overall performance
The better your tyres, the better your car.
The results of many years of extensive testing clearly show that tyres are the key driver for the overall driving performance of a car.
The direct comparison.
Continental conducted the ulitimate test. They compared a 2000 model test vehicle with ContiPremium Contact 5 tyres with a 2012 model vehicle, which was equipped with the older 2000 version of the ContiPremium Contact tyres.The result.
The driving behaviour of the old car and the new tyre was much more reliable. Because of the higher grip leve in the longitudinal and lateral directions the driver got more safety reserve for emergency scenarios. Modern electronic stability programs are not able to compensate for the large development gap between the tyres.The safety potential rose to approximately 20%
Especially for older vehicles it is very important to use new tyres, because modern assistance systems like ESP, are not available.
