The Continental ContiSportContact
2 is an Ultra High Performance Summer tire that was developed to
meet the needs of the drivers of powerful sports cars, sports coupes
& luxury sedans. The ContiSportContact 2 features Continental's
bionic* contour & bionic* compound technology to enhance braking
& handling as well as resistance to hydroplaning. While the
ContiSportContact 2 is intended to eventually replace the original
ContiSportContact, the original ContiSportContact is expected to
remain available in selected sizes for some time.
On the outside, the ContiSportContact 2 features a bionic tread
compound technology that is based on nature. The design of a
spider's web -- which is both elastic & stable -- was used for the
first time in the creation of a tire compound that is both flexible
& firm. The bionic tread compound is molded into an asymmetric
tread design that enhances steering response & steering precision
while the tire's continuous ribs provide the circumferential
stiffness to transmit drive & braking forces. The continuous
circumferential tread grooves between the ribs help disperse water
to resist hydroplaning. Internally, the ContiSportContact 2 tire
features Continental's "Advanced Mold Contour" (AMC), which allows
the tire to become wider during braking to help shorten stopping
distances. The ContiSportContact 2 features twin steel belts
reinforced by nylon to stabilize the tread area & enhance handling
as well as high-speed capability.
Continental ContiSportContact 2 tires combine black sidewall styling
with subtle black letters reversed out of a circumferential
checkered flag graphic.
