Leading premium tyre manufacturer Continental Tires, on Monday introduced its new range of CrossContact AX6 SUV tyres for SUVs in India.
According to the press release from the company, the open tread pattern of the tyres provides maximised edges and contact area, helping in additional off-road traction. In addition, they also include traction grooves with gripping teeth that prevent the loose surface from sliding through the tread grooves, the release added.
Additionally, the polymer structure that grips the road, aided by Silica Tread Compound, provides exceptional traction and braking on wet and slippery roads. The sipped pattern on the tyres improves tyre traction and allows for shorter braking distances on wet roads, the company said.
Samir Gupta, MD, Continental India, said, “The CrossContact AX6 tyres are designed specifically keeping in mind the various conditions found both on-road and off-road. The tyres are highly suitable for markets like India, which feature various geographies, road conditions, and growing SUV demand. They are a perfect fit for any driver who spends most of their time on the road but requires more traction when heading off the beaten track.”
