Stiff shoulder blocks deliver outstanding cornering stability.
Its band-shaped tread structure in the centre zone, similar to that of summer tyres, ensures shortest braking distances on dry roads.
Thicker sipes, with their spacers on the inside of the tyre, keep the sipes open when they pass through the ground contact area. This makes the sipes fill up with more snow and boosts the amount of extra grip on wintry roads.
The wet grip rating indicates how well the tyre will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.
Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tyres deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing all the way down to class E.
This is the external rolling noise generated by the tyre, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A down to C.
In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tyres only).
With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tyres.
