Continental SecureContact AW 

The SecureContact AW is Continental's Grand Touring All-Season tire designed and optimized for both internal combustion and electric vehicles. Built for the drivers of family sedans, coupes, crossovers and SUVs who want the versatile performance provided by an all-weather tire in a variety of weather conditions, the SecureContact AW touts light snow traction that meets the industry's severe snow service requirements to be branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

The SecureContact AW features Continental's ecoPlus+ Technology, which are additives and polymers combined with the all-weather rubber compound to both strengthen the tire for longer tread life and improve its adhesion to the road in wet conditions. The compound is then molded into an asymmetric pattern designed to create a stable contact patch for improved traction and wear, while blending dry and wet traction with enhanced wintry weather grip. Five deep, circumferential grooves aid standing water evacuation through the footprint and both shoulders feature open notches to allow water and slush to pass through. Continental's ecoPlus+ Technology compound utilizes +Silane and Tg-F polymers for grip in inclement weather, alongside sipes throughout the pattern to create the biting edges needed for light snow traction.

Internal construction of the SecureContact AW consists of a polyester casing for a smooth, comfortable ride. Twin steel belts are incorporated to maximize strength and durability along with a polyamide reinforcement for stability at high speeds.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.
