Specifications
CONTINENTAL ULTRACONTACT
CONTINENTAL ULTRACONTACT 245/40R17 95Y XL — quality Summer tyre from CONTINENTAL. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
Efficient, just shy of the top. The CONTINENTAL ULTRACONTACT carries a B rating, the second band on the EU scale. Rolling resistance is still low, and in normal driving the gap from a class A tyre is small enough that you'd barely notice it at the pump.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Very well. The CONTINENTAL ULTRACONTACT is rated A for wet grip, the top grade on the EU label. That means the shortest braking distances on wet roads, so the tyre pulls the car up quickly in rain or on standing water. If you do a lot of wet-weather driving, this is the safest band you can buy.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
Fairly quiet. The CONTINENTAL ULTRACONTACT comes in at 69 dB, just under the average for this kind of tyre. Day to day it stays unobtrusive; only rough tarmac brings the noise forward.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The CONTINENTAL ULTRACONTACT carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
CONTINENTAL is a premium class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
