For that past 100+ years, General Tire has brought you SUV/truck tires, commercial tires, and passenger tires that go faster, grip harder, last longer.
Setting out to improve on the performance levels of an already proven winning tire is no easy task, but that is exactly what the new Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 aims to do. Three years in the making, this ultra-high performance all-season tire sports new technology that Continental hopes will make it the class leader in UHP all-season tires.
New SportPlus Technology and a tread compound that features added amounts of silica and +Silane additives, are designed to enhance traction on wet road surfaces, provide more precise handling and deliver a longer lasting tread life. The asymmetric tread pattern remains familiar, although it is slightly different than the original.
Released in the Fall of 2016, the Continental TerrainContact A/T is the company’s first venture into the all-terrain tire marketplace. Of course, Continental also owns General Tire which has the Grabber AT2 and new X3, but this is the first AT tire under the Continental nameplate.
It’s worth noting that Continental spent 3 years, 12,000 hours of machine testing and over 2 million miles of on and off-road driving in getting the new TerrainContact AT ready for its release.
