SportControl

• 

  Controlled sport driving

  Get the most from your high performance car. The tire tread features progressive humps that distribute pressure evenly across the contact patch. The result is better handling at motorway speeds, with precise cornering control.

• 

  Superb control in the wet

  Drive with confidence in rainy conditions. A full silica tread compound works with Aqua Flow grooves to deliver shorter braking distances on wet roads – up to 3 meters shorter than competitors’ tyres.*

• 

  Lower fuel consumption

  Lightweight construction makes the tyre easier to roll, resulting in lower fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. In independent tests, the SportControl offered 14% lower rolling resistance than the competition.*That adds up to significant cost savings over the tyre’s lifetime.

• 

  Drive with peace of mind

  The tread pattern is optimised so that wear occurs evenly across the tyre surface. This ensures a smoother, quieter ride and longer tyre life.

*Tested against 2 direct mid-range competitors in November 2010 by TüV SüD Automotive: Mireval (France); Tyre Size: 225/45R17 94Y; Test Car: VW Golf VI 1.4 TSI; Wet Braking 80-20 km/h, Report 76244449-1.
Depending on the type of road and driving style, rolling resistance contributes to 20% of car fuel consumption (ETRMA).
