About Continental UltraContact UC6

The Continental UltraContact UC6 tyre is specially made for SUVs. It offers superior performance in cities, highways as well as on off-roads. The tyre gives full control on wet surfaces, combined with a high grip level, long durability and low noise levels. 

The aqua channel surface sipes swiftly disperse water from the tread pattern, while the aqua drainage elements push water through a tube system into the tread grooves, further reducing the risk of hydroplaning. The diamond edge present in the tyre maximizes the contact area and give short braking distances on dry and wet roads.
