To cope with the rainy weather in many areas of China, ExtremeContact XC7 uses German Continental's seventh-generation formula technology to improve rubber grip. Combined with the "Lingbo" tread pattern design, it gives the tire strong wet performance and brings unparalleled safety protection. . The high-speed pressurized diversion groove can greatly improve the drainage efficiency and ensure the contact area between the tire and the ground, so that the vehicle can have excellent grip performance even on slippery roads. The tread's zigzag grooves and knife-edge patterns effectively break up the water film and prevent hydroplaning, allowing car owners to drive safely and safely without fear of wind and rain. In the wet braking test of CAIC Tire, the braking distance of ExtremeContact XC7 was shortened by 4.3 meters compared with the original tires of the test vehicle, which is equivalent to the distance of one parking space.
ExtremeContact XC7 is not only equipped with Germany's Continental ace technology - ContiSilent silent technology, which absorbs cavity noise through built-in silent cotton, but also uses a two-in-one superimposed design and uses ContiSeal self-repairing adhesive layer to improve the quality of the inner side of the tire and reduce tire damage. Vibration caused by deformation. The two major technologies accurately suppress noise in different frequency bands, reaching a new realm of broadband noise reduction and muteness. In addition, the partition-type active noise reduction system can effectively disperse noise frequencies, reduce peak noise, and improve tire quietness. In the CAIC's interior noise test, ExtremeContact XC7 was 3.5 decibels lower than the original tires of the test vehicle, providing a quieter interior atmosphere.
The entire ExtremeContact XC7 series comes standard with ContiSeal self-repairing technology, Germany’s Continental core technology, to achieve active safety upgrades. ContiSeal self-repairing technology uses a high-viscosity sealing layer that can self-repair tread punctures with a diameter of less than or equal to 5 mm, resisting 92% of the risk of tread punctures on the road. This technology can guarantee the self-repairing ability during the tire's full life span of 10 years, and has good stability in the range of minus 35 degrees Celsius to above zero 70 degrees Celsius, fully resisting potential safety hazards caused by nail punctures, allowing Chinese car owners to Enjoy your ride.
