ContiCrossContact Winter

Highlights:

Advanced silica compound with patented polymer type and strongly siped block design for excellent traction and braking performance
Outstanding driving characteristics on dry roads by stable outer shoulder thanks to optimised sipe concept with progressive sinus sipes
High aquaplaning safety due to wide circumferential tread grooves for draining and flow optimised pattern carvings on the outer shoulder
