Volkswagen chooses Continental

Volkswagen has approved three premium summer tyres from Continental to be fitted at the factory.

The Golf 7 will be fitted with the 15- and 16-inch ContiEcoContact 5 and ContiPremiumContact 5, the CC will be fitted with the 17-inch ContiSportContact 5 and ContiEcoContact 5, and the Beetle will also be fitted with the 20-inch ContiSportContact 5 tyre in the future.

Depending on the design, the tyres are developed for low fuel consumption, comfortable driving, or sporty handling. Volkswagen therefore had the opportunity to choose one of the possible tyres alternatives according to the design of the vehicle model. For the CC, Volkswagen is consistently opting for tyres with the ContiSeal technology, which seals minor damage to the tyre by itself, thereby enabling uninterrupted driving.

Continental manufactures the tyres for Volkswagen in the European tyre plants – including in the Hessian city of Korbach – and the ContiSportContact 5 for the Beetle in the American tire plant in Mount Vernon
