Trust in your tyres, no matter how heavy the rain and how treacherous the road is. Further developments to our Shark Skin Technology and innovative Aqua-Twist Sipes help accelerate the evacuation of water from the tyre’s footprint. This leads to reliable grip on wet and slippery roads.
Experience a smooth, quiet ride on every journey. The unique tread pattern contributes to reduced interior noise which allows a comfortable and relaxed driving experience.
Enjoy improved mileage performance with our new RainExpert 5. The new tread compound and optimized design ensure even wear and lower abrasion, providing a balanced tyre profile and extended tyre life.
The wet grip rating indicates how well the tire will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to class E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.
Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tires deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing for each subsequent class through to E.
This is the external rolling noise generated by the tire, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A 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 tires only).
With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tires.
