Description

Continental SportContact 7 (285/35R20 104Y XL)

Precision Engineered. Track-Ready. EV-Compatible.

The SportContact 7 replaced the SC6 with a massive focus on “Adaptive Performance.” It is engineered to provide a consistent “SportContact feel” regardless of the vehicle’s weight, making it equally effective for lightweight sports cars and heavy, high-torque electric performance vehicles.

✨ Key Performance Technologies

• Adaptive Tread Design:

  The pattern features “flexible” elements that adapt to dry and wet roads. Under hard cornering, the outer shoulder blocks lock together to create a massive, stable contact patch, providing supercar-level lateral grip.

• BlackChili³ Compound:

  Continental’s secret rubber formula uses specialized resins and “micro-flexible” polymers. This ensures the tyre “keys” into the microscopic roughness of the road, offering an 8% improvement in wet braking over its predecessor.

• Force Clustering & Tailor-Made Construction:

  Because a 285-width tyre often carries significant weight, Continental tunes the carcass stiffness specifically for each size. This ensures that the steering remains sharp and the tyre doesn’t “fold” under the weight of an EV or heavy GT car.

• EV-Compatible (EVc):

  While it is a pure performance tyre, it is built to handle the instant torque of high-end electric motors. It features a low-rolling-resistance design to help preserve battery range without sacrificing the grip needed for 500+ hp vehicles.

• Rim Protection (FR):

  Features a heavy-duty rubber rib on the sidewall designed to protect expensive 20-inch alloy rims from curb damage.

📊 EU Label Ratings

• Wet Grip: A (The highest safety rating available)

• Fuel Efficiency: C (Typical for a wide, high-grip UUHP tyre)

• Noise: B (75 dB)

The SportContact 7 is currently widely regarded as the “King of UHP tyres,” offering a better balance of wet-weather safety and dry-track performance than almost any other tyre on the market.
