Raising the Bar - Testing New Ultra High Performance All-Season Tires

View All Tire Test Results

Tire companies always work to improve on successful designs. Many succeed, but not all. Continental hit a home run with the ContiExtremeContact Ultra High Performance All-Season tire but then challenged their design team to improve dry road handling and road manners without sacrificing winter traction. Their solution - the new ExtremeContact DWS.

Pirelli faced a similar challenge with the popular P Zero Nero M+S as they developed the P Zero Nero All Season.

Did Continental and Pirelli succeed in raising the bar? Watch the video to learn how.
