Continental 4X4 Contact (MO) ZR 110V AS A/S All Season Tire

Continental 4X4 Contact (MO). FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Great all weather traction; Longer lasting tread life; Reduced fuel usage; Lowered road noise; Slight off-road capability; Mercedes-Benz original equipment; . OVERVIEW: The Continental 4X4 Contact (MO) is a touring, all season tire for on- and slight off-road driving manufactured for SUVs and passenger vehicles. The model is the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles.This model offers great all weather traction thanks to its silica-based tire compound. It grips the road well in all weather conditions, including dry, wet and winter conditions. The tread grooves prevent the tire from hydroplaning in deeper water by dispersing it from below the footprint. This makes the tire safer to use all year-round.The tire's longer tread life is due to the symmetric tread pattern which increases the tire's directional stability. The improved stability equally distributes the driving force and pressure along the tire's road contact area, preventing irregular wear on the tires. As a result, it wears out evenly, extending its tread life. The model's symmetric tread pattern also manages to reduce its rolling resistance. The lowered rolling resistance makes the tire more cost efficient as it decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission.The specially designed tread pattern offers a quiet and comfortable drive. The tread lowers the noise levels during on-road driving. The sound waves emitted by the tires in motion are channeled through the tread grooves in the footprint, cancelling them out.The 4X4 Contact (MO) has good on- and slight off-road traction and it will perform well on both surfaces. 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.
