Continental Tire will supply its SportContact 7 and the new SportContact 7 Force as original equipment for the Porsche Panamera G3 II.
The SportContact 7 Force is a high-performance addition to Continental’s summer tire line, according to Continental officials. Porsche also recommends the WinterContact TS 860 S for the Cayenne E4 during the colder months. All tires are approved in 21- and 22-inch sizes, with XL markings, indicating increased load capacity.
The SportContact 7, a summer tire designed for precise handling, features an optimized rubber compound and tread pattern for "excellent grip and short braking distances on both dry and wet roads, providing exceptional driving stability, even at high speeds."
The new SportContact 7 Force, a specially developed version of the SportContact 7, is "designed to meet even higher demands in terms of performance and stability. Its adaptive tread pattern and enhanced rubber compound enable more precise handling and high levels of power transfer under extreme conditions. The tire combines track-proven performance with everyday usability."
For the Cayenne E4, Porsche recommends the WinterContact TS 860 S for the colder months. The tire is "specifically designed to meet the requirements of high-powered, handling-focused SUVs." Providing short braking distances and precise handling on dry roads, it also offers strong performance in snow with low rolling resistance to increase the range of electric vehicles.
The tire lines have been approved for the Porsche models in a variety of sizes in numerous countries, according to Continental officials.
