Continental Tyres recently unveiled a new high-performance tyre suited for the Asia Pacific landscapes. Called the Continental Tyres MaxContact MC7, this high-performance tyre was developed and tested by a team of 25 engineers and material experts, clocking over 8,000 hours in R&D. The high-performance tyre promises to deliver maximum control of the vehicle and improve dynamic handling.
“The MaxContact MC7 is the latest addition in Continental’s line-up of Gen7 products, which represent the latest generation of our tyre technologies developed specifically for APAC drivers. We are confident that it showcases our advanced R&D capabilities to deliver best-in-class performance for remarkable driving experiences every day,” said Mr. Tolga Mutlu, Head of Product Management, Continental Replacement Tyres APAC.
MAXIMUM CONTROL, EXHILARATING VEHICLE DYNAMICS
Optimisation of pressure distribution within the MaxContact MC7 provides a more refined handling and exceptional stability while going around corners and making sharper turns at higher speeds.
To achieve this, the Continental Tyres MaxContact MC7 maximizes the contact area with the road to create a wider footprint with the Cornering Macroblocks, which redistributes force for a more controlled and stable drive. Its ReFlex Compound also creates a higher resistance to tyre deformation and leads to improved steering response and accuracy.
STABLE & SAFE DRIVE WITH NEW SILICA TECHNOLOGY
The Continental Tyres MaxContact MC7 provides enhanced grip as well as shorter braking distance to ensure a stable and safe drive, even during the wettest of roads.
The 3D Laser-cut Sipes improve grip and braking in wet and rainy conditions, reducing the risk of aquaplaning by quickly expelling water that flows through the tyre grooves. Its silica technology within the ReFlex compound enhances the transfer of kinetic energy to heat when braking, leading to shorter braking distances on both dry and wet roads.
UPGRADED NOISE BREAKER OFFERS A QUIETER DRIVE
Even though the MaxContact MC7 is a high-performance tyre, it also affords a quieter drive. The upgraded Two-in-1 Noise Breaker 3.0 breaks up sound waves, preventing noise from building up and travelling into the car cabin.
The new Continental Tyres MaxContact MC7 tyre is available in sizes ranging from 16” to 21” and is available for purchase across APAC markets from Q1 of 2024. If you’re interested, do check with your nearest Continental tyre shop for stock availability.
