ContiSeal Self-Sealing Technology Brings Proactive Safety to
a New Level
As one of Continental Tire's key technologies,
ContiSeal Self-Sealing Technology has brought the concept of
"proactive safety" to a new level. The sticky viscous sealant layer
on the inside of the tire is able to close up damage up to 5 mm in
diameter, ensuring that 80% of punctures are immediately fixed so
drivers can continue to drive to the nearest workshop. Moreover,
the self-sealing capability remains stable and effective across
temperatures ranging from -35℃ to 70℃ throughout the whole usage
life of the tire.

Continuous Product Evolution Remains in Line with Chinese
Consumers' Mobility Demands
Firmly rooted in the Chinese
market, along with the booming trend of the new energy vehicle
industry, Continental Tires collaborates with channel partner Tuhu,
China's largest online auto retail
platform with over 100 million subscribed users. This gives Tuhu an
advantage in understanding Chinese consumers' demands for travel
safety and tranquility. With cutting-edge R&D capability,
Continental Tires combines the needs of the users with continuous
product and technology upgrades, to launch ExtremeContact XC7
exclusively on the Tuhu platform.
Outstanding Wet Performance Ensures Greater
Safety
Many regions in China have frequent rainfall, making driving
on wet roads a common driving condition. Designed for improved
safety under all conditions, ExtremeContact XC7 features excellent
anti-slip designs in wet conditions thanks to its extraordinary wet
braking performance. The Aqua Channel Advanced surface sipes can
significantly accelerate water drainage, resulting in outstanding
grip even on wet slippery roads. At the same time, ExtremeContact
XC7's sophisticated Zig-Zag serrated grooves design and Blade Edge
Pattern can break through the water film to reduce slippage thus
enhancing wet grip performance.
Effective Noise Reduction Guarantees a Tranquil
Ride
The ExtremeContact XC7 is fully equipped with CSS
2-in-1 Noise Reduction Technology specially developed to meet
consumers' higher demand for a silent mobility experience.
Continental Tire's renowned ContiSilent technology can effectively
absorb tire cavity noise using built-in polyurethane silent foam,
while ContiSeal's sealant layer enhances the weight of the inner
side of the tire, resulting in reduced vibrations caused by
deformation and consequently lower noise. The ingenious 2-in-1
design can dramatically suppress noise across different frequency
ranges, helping achieve a broader frequency noise reduction.
With sizes ranging from 17" to 20" and available in 34 articles,
ExtremeContact XC7 fits various luxury cars and SUVs, providing
premium and innovative tire solutions to the consumers.
