Green Car Congress: Continental refines Conti.eContact tire for hybrids
Continental has refined the Conti.eContact tire, originally launched in 2011 with electric vehicles in mind (earlier post), to meet the needs of hybrid models. Leveraging new technologies and processes, this new summer tire is narrower and larger, and is the first from Continental to obtain the top A rating on the EU Tire Label for both wet grip and rolling resistance, while making no significant compromises in terms of the many other performance parameters.
