Continental ProContact RX 255/45R19 100H vw a/s All Season Tire

Continental ProContact RX OVERVIEW The Continental ProContact RX (VW) is a touring, all season tire model manufactured for passenger vehicles. This model has some W speed rated high performance sizes as well. This is the original equipment tire of select Volkswagen vehicles. This tire is designed for electric vehicles.The tire offers excellent all weather traction and it grips the road well in dry, wet and winter weather. The tread pattern and the silica-based tire compound are the reason for its exceptional traction. The tread pattern’s circumferential grooves actively avoid hydroplaning by eliminating water from beneath the tire footprint. The better year round traction improve the tire’s safety in all conditions.The tread pattern provides additional biting edges in all weather situations that create friction at the moment of braking. This shortens the model’s braking distance. The shoulder tread blocks maintain constant contact between the tire and the road enhancing the cornering ability and power. The increased cornering, maneuvering and braking stability allow the tire to perform to its utmost capabilities without difficulty.A silica-based tire compound was used in the manufacture of the vehicle. This compound decreases the rolling resistance by lowering the tire’s overall weight. The lower rolling resistance succeeds in lessening the fuel consumption and CO2 emission of the vehicle, as the vehicle needs less energy to keep the tires in motion. As a result, the tire is environmentally friendly and cost and fuel efficient.The ProContact RX (VW) offers a comfortable and quiet driving experience. The model’s reinforced structure and excellent durability absorbs the shock of driving when the tire is in transit and reduces the road vibrations felt in the cabin of the vehicle. The sound-absorbing foam on the inner lining of the tread lessens the road noise by channeling the pattern noise generated through the foam.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
