Continental Tire the Americas LLC’s newest luxury performance all-season replacement tire, the PureContact, is now available to dealers.

Continental says the premium tire brings together best-in-class wet braking, fuel efficiency and ride comfort in a sleek design that is sure to give drivers the confidence they need year round.

“The PureContact brings together our innovative technologies into one luxury all-season tire” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for Continental Tire. “We’ve married our EcoPlus Technology, Comfort Ride Technology and Tuned Performance Indicators for a replacement tire that will help our customers arrive to their destinations safely while also helping to save money and be kind to the environment.”

Continental Tire’s award-winning EcoPlus Technology improves treadwear while enhancing grip on wet roads thus promoting a shorter stopping distance. This particular technology also improves wear and fuel efficiency which can save the consumer money over the life of the tire.

Additionally, Continental’s Comfort Ride Technology absorbs vibrations caused by road surface irregularities, giving drivers and their passenger’s a smooth and enjoyable ride.

The PureContact is backed by a 60-day customer satisfaction trial, a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty and a 72-month manufacturer’s limited warranty program. It is available in a sizes ranging from 15- to 18-inch wheel diameters with a UTQG rating of 700 AA for H and V speed.
