Continental SportContact 7 (265/30R19 93Y XL EU)

The 2026 UHP Benchmark. Ultimate Grip and Steering Precision.

The SportContact 7 (SC7) features a revolutionary Adaptive Tread Design that allows the tyre to “shape-shift” slightly depending on the driving intensity, ensuring maximum contact with the road at all times.

✨ Key 2026 Performance Technologies

• 🏎️ Adaptive Tread Pattern:

  The tread blocks are designed to be flexible during normal driving for comfort, but they “lock” together under high lateral loads. This provides immense cornering stability, preventing the tyre from squirming even during aggressive track-day sessions or high-speed mountain drives.

• 🏁 BlackChili NextGen Compound:

  Continental’s updated 2026 rubber compound utilizes special resins that allow the tyre to interlock with the microscopic irregularities of the asphalt. This results in unrivaled dry grip and instantaneous “turn-in” response.

• 🌧️ Force Clustering Technology:

  Regardless of the vehicle’s weight, the SC7 ensures a consistent footprint. This translates to Class A wet braking performance, giving you total confidence even when a sudden heavy downpour hits the highway.

• 📏 17% Improvement in Longevity:

  While previous SportContact generations were known for wearing out quickly, the SC7 has been optimized to last 17% longer than the SC6. This makes it a more practical choice for owners who drive their performance cars daily.

• 🛡️ Ultra-Rigid 30-Series Sidewall:

  The extremely low 30-series profile, combined with the XL reinforcement, provides a very stiff sidewall. This minimizes delay between steering input and vehicle movement, though it does result in a firm ride over potholes.
