Continental CrossContact ATR Tires
The Continental CrossContact ATR is an all terrain, all season tire made for light trucks and SUVs.
This model offers all terrain performance. The tread’s staggered blocks and high void ratio keep the footprint clean by eliminating mud and snow from the footprint. This prevents the tire from blocking the surface contact during its performance. On the other hand, it also avoids stone retention as rocks do not drill into the tread area. The staggered blocks and high void ratio also increase the soft, loose, and uneven terrain traction. They firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges.
The specially designed tread pattern and stabilized footprint promote a quiet and comfortable driving experience during the on-road drive. This tread design is able to channel airwaves away from the footprint and prevent them from coming into contact with tread elements. It effectively reduces road disturbances before they reach the vehicle’s cabin. In other words, this allows the passengers to enjoy a noise-free performance.
This model utilizes its reinforced internal structure to provide a phenomenal load and driving durability. The durable structural materials support the tire while under larger loads and prevent it from losing its optimal shape. The robust tread avoids excessive pressure build-up and further enhances the model’s load handling power. In this manner, the tire is able to perform excellently under larger load and driving pressure, boosting its overall load capacity.
The detailed tread blocks are able to firmly grip the road surface throughout the performance, improving the vehicle’s controllability and driving stability. These tread elements with detailed sipe and notch placement provide a high number of biting edges, enhancing the tire’s maneuvering ability. It allows it to respond faster and more precisely to the driver’s instructions, guaranteeing a better and safer driving experience.
The Continental CrossContact ATR utilizes its all season compound and detailed tread elements to promote superb all weather traction. The detailed tread elements enable the tire to perform well on dry, wet, and light winter roads, while the compound optimizes rubber flexibility in all season temperatures. The circumferential grooves channel water and slush away from the footprint and actively resist the risk of hydroplaning during its on-road performance.
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.
