Continental To Supply Tires For The Polestar 2

Continental will be supplying PremiumContact 6 and SportContact 6 tires in size 245/40 R20 for the Polestar 2.

Continental announced that it will be supplying PremiumContact 6 and SportContact 6 tires in size 245/40 R20 for the Polestar 2. Both tires are approved for speeds up to 240 km/h and have an XL mark for a higher maximum load.

Continental says, The PremiumContact 6 is specially designed for sporty and comfortable driving, but thanks to its low rolling resistance it can also increase the range of electric vehicles. The company developed a new compound which ensures excellent grip performance on dry and wet road surfaces, enabling the PremiumContact 6 to combine precise steering response and safety characteristics.

Compared to the previous model, the mileage is 15 percent better, the rolling resistance is five percent lower and the external rolling noise has been reduced by ten percent, claims the tyremaker.

The tires supplied by Continental for the Polestar 2 have a best-possible EU tire label rating of A in the wet grip category – appropriate for this car, which scored a top five stars in the Euro NCAP crash test.

The SportContact 6 features outstanding performance on dry and wet surfaces as well and ensures a high level of stability and braking performance - even at high speeds. The tread pattern ensures excellent steering precision, especially when cornering under lateral forces.

Continental tires supplied ex work for the Polestar 2 come with ContiSilent technology for an especially quiet driving experience. In these tires a layer of polyurethane foam is applied to the inner surface to dampen the vibrations from driving. This considerably reduces the constituents of the rolling noise in the vehicle interior, which are perceived as especially irritating.

ContiSilent is compatible with all commercially available rims and has no negative effects on a vehicle’s performance, fuel consumption, maximum load or maximum speed.
