According
to Samir Gupta, MD Continental India, “The CrossContact AX6 tyres are designed
specifically keeping in mind the various conditions found both on-road and
off-road. The tyres are highly suitable for markets like India, which feature
various geographies, road conditions, and growing SUV demand. They are a
perfect fit for any driver who spends most of their time on the road but
requires more traction when heading off the beaten track.”
He
further added, “Markets across the globe have widely appreciated the
CrossContact AX6 tyres, and we hope to see similar results in India.” The
CrossContact AX6 tyres are available for the latest range of SUVs in India.
One
of the essential factors while off-roading is the traction and grip provided by
the tyres. The open tread pattern of the CrossContact AX6 tyres provides
maximized edges and contact area, helping in additional off-road traction. The
tyres also include traction grooves with gripping teeth that prevent the loose
surface sliding through the tread grooves.
In
addition, thanks to the silica tread compound, the polymer structure that grips
on the road give excellent traction and braking on wet and slippery roads. The
sipped pattern on the tyres further aids the grip of the tyres.
On
the other hand, the large tread blocks, and tough tread compound, aid in
minimizing the stone retention and resisting cutting and chipping of tyres,
which leads to excellent durability and robustness. The innovative design
features the noise blockers in the shoulder of the tyre to block sound waves
and unnecessary noise generated by the tyres and provides a smooth and quieter
ride.
