Developed at the world famous Nürburgring, ContiForceContactTM is designed for the track and street.
Ft. Mill, S.C. – November 4, 2013. At Continental Tire we are passionate about driving, and we know you are too. We’ve married that passion with our technology to deliver the ContiForceContact™. Bringing together our racing and passenger car technologies, we’ve developed a tire for racing enthusiasts who have a zest for driving. Designed for performance vehicles, the ContiForceContact™ was developed at the world famous Nürburgring and engineered for performance on the track. At the same time, this tire is DOT-approved for street use to travel to and from the track.
“We’re happy to bring our racing and passenger car technologies together to give our enthusiasts the tire they’ve been asking for, ContiForceContact™,” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for Continental Tire. “There’s nothing better than a day at the track. And we’ve constructed a tire that will provide the driving aficionado a great day on-track while getting them to and from the track with confidence.”
This ultra-responsive tire is engineered for track and street performance. Delivering precise control, confident handling and outstanding grip makes this the ultimate tire for the driving enthusiast. The benefits and features of this tire include:
- Precise handling. Solid center rib and strong macro block shoulders ensure high steering precision.
- Superb cornering grip and consistent, fast lap times. Black Chilli compound contains special grip resins which enhances intermeshing between the tire and the pavement on the microscopic level, resulting in outstanding dry grip.
- Confidence on wet roads. Wide circumferential grooves in the center, and bi-directional drainage grooves on the inside, efficiently evacuate water to resist hydroplaning. Surface-modified silica provides enhanced grip on wet surfaces.
The ContiForceContact™ will be available for purchase exclusively through Tire Rack beginning December 1, 2013 and is available in 10 sizes ranging from 225/40ZR18 to 325/30ZR19.
