Continental Tyres has chosen Australia to launch the all-new MaxContact MC7 to its customers in the Asia Pacific region with a technology showcase and drive experience split between the track and a commute across Sydney.
The sporty, high-performance tyre designed for enjoyment in both daily use and on weekend adventures, fulfilling the needs of Australian performance-oriented drivers. The Continental MaxContact MC7 delivers excellent driving performance, offering maximum control through precise steering and dynamic handling with exceptional stability in all environments.
This is achieved through Continental’s Cornering Macroblock technology, which maximises the tyre’s contact area with the road to create a wider footprint, thus redistributing force for a more controlled and stable drive experience.This exciting new product also features ReFlex Compound that creates a higher resistance to tyre deformation and leads to improved steering response and accuracy.
Mitchell Golledge, Managing Director, Continental Tyres Australia, said, “Developed and tested by a team of industry-leading engineers and material experts through more than 8,000 hours in R&D, we engineered a stand-out, high-performance tyre that meets the unique needs of Australian drivers.”
Designed to ensure optimum safety, even in wet weather, the new MaxContact MC7 provides enhanced grip and shorter braking distances to ensure a stable and safe experience for drivers.
The 3D Laser-cut Sipes improve grip and braking in wet and rainy conditions, reducing the risk of aquaplaning by quickly expelling water that flows through the tyre grooves.
Additionally, the silica technology within the ReFlex Compound enhances the transfer of kinetic energy to heat when braking, leading to shorter braking distances on both dry and wet roads.Continental’s two-in-one Noise Breaker 3.0 breaks up sound waves, preventing noise from building up and traveling into the cabin, resulting in a quieter drive.
“The MaxContact MC7 is the most recent addition to the Continental Tyres line-up of products which represent the latest generation of our tyre technologies. These products reflect our continued investment into new, best-in-class offerings resulting in remarkable driving experiences,” added Golledge.
The new Continental MaxContact MC7 tyre offers sizes ranging from 17” to 20” and is available Australia-wide from 1 June 2024.
