The huge German tire company named Continental sells tires to a wide array of auto makers including Volkswagen, Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), Ford, Volvo, Iveco, Freightliner Trucks, BMW, GM, Toyota, Honda, Renault and Porsche. It entered the American market in 1987, when it bought General Tire, and is now the fourth largest tire company on the planet. It also markets its tires to the public under the brand names General, Semperit and Uniroyal. Continental's ContiSportContact 2 is their high performance summer tire engineered to meet and exceed the requirements of sports cars and luxury sedans. The tire is made using Continental's patented compound and contour-engineering processes to improve traction, braking and handling. Like other tires that are designated as "summer-use" treads, it isn't meant for use in temperatures below 36 degrees, or in snow or on ice. These tire have an asymmetric design that upgrades steering response and the tire's continuous ribs provide what is know as "circumferential stiffness" to dampen drive and braking forces. Tread grooves between the ribs help disperse water to minimize hydroplaning and the internal structure allows the tire to widen during braking to reduce stopping distances.
