Continental TerrainContact H/T. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Improved tread life; Upgraded handling; Quiet performance; Enhanced durability; . OVERVIEW: The Continental TerrainContact H/T is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for light trucks and SUVs. It has some touring sizes for passenger vehicles as well. Continental offers a 60,000 miles treadwear warranty for light truck sizes and a 70,000 miles warranty for SUV ones.The tire is able to safely perform in off-road conditions, thanks to its aggressive tread and damage resistant compound materials. It is able to avoid external damage such as cuts and tread chipping, while the self-cleaning tread prevents stone retention. Rocks are eliminated from the footprint before they can dig into the tread area and harm the casing. Other than that, the compound and tread design are able to resist irregular and premature wear formations. This guarantees a longer lasting tread life and excellent usability.This model also comes with a stronger internal structure that supports the tire while under load and driving pressure. The strengthened structural materials keep the tire in its optimal shape throughout the performance, while tread avoids excessive pressure build-up in one spot. In this manner, the tire is able to safely perform while under pressure without compromising the performance.The specially designed footprint guarantees a quiet driving experience during the drive. The tire comes with noise blockers that avoid tread and road noise formation, offering a noise-free performance. This greatly reduces road disturbances heard in the vehicle's cabin, allowing passengers to enjoy a quiet performance at all times.The tire utilizes its detailed tread ribs to maintain a consistent contact with the driving surface. As a result, the controllability and driving stability are enhanced. The tread pattern firmly grips the road, providing a high number of biting edges thanks to its sipe and notch placement. It greatly improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instructions, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. This significantly boosts the driver's control over the vehicle and increases the overall maneuvering ability in all weather conditions.The Continental TerrainContact H/T guarantees a phenomenal performance in all season conditions. This is thanks to its detailed ribbed tread and optimized compound. The tire boasts exceptional traction on dry, wet, and snow-covered roads, while the compound optimizes rubber flexibility in various temperature conditions. The circumferential and lateral grooves eject water and slush from the footprint, effectively avoiding the risk of hydroplaning. It promotes a better and safer year round driving experience. 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.
