Continental has unveiled India’s latest offering, the CrossContact H/T (H/T stands for Highway/Terrain). Crafted specifically for the country’s diverse driving conditions, this tyre boasts a robust and durable design for both on- and off-road adventures.
Manufactured at the ModiPuram facility, the CrossContact H/T is custom-made to tackle India’s varied road surfaces. This versatile tyre range accommodates rim sizes spanning from 15 to 18 inches in diameter. While select variants are currently accessible in India, the entire portfolio is slated to hit the market in the upcoming months.
Expressing enthusiasm about the launch, Samir Gupta, Managing Director of Continental Tires India and Head of Central Region BA RE APAC, remarked, “Introducing the CrossContact H/T in India is a moment of excitement for us. This product, with its adaptable pattern, minimal road noise, and enhanced tread longevity, impeccably caters to the demands of Indian drivers, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey across the diverse terrains in India.”
The newly introduced CrossContact H/T comes with a multi-purpose tread pattern adept at handling the everyday challenges encountered by passenger cars, crossovers, and SUVs, be it on the asphalt or beyond. Additionally, its tread, rubber compound, and structure are engineered to withstand mild off-road terrains effortlessly.
For improved traction on gravelly surfaces and uneven paths, engineers have incorporated “grip teeth” – small projections within the tread grooves – enhancing grip on non-asphalt tracks. Moreover, the robust shoulders of the tyre are designed to resist damage from stones and debris.
Continental highlights that its unique tread design significantly reduces both internal and external noise levels by approximately 10 per cent compared to its forerunner. This noise reduction contributes to a more comfortable ride for occupants, especially during extended journeys.
