Continental ProContact GX Tires

The Continental ProContact GX (J) is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This specific tire is marked with J as it is the original equipment of Jaguar vehicles. This tire is for the rear axle position.

The tire upgrades the all weather traction. The tread design’s detailed pattern and the all season compound work together to enhance the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface. This allows the tire to provide additional biting edges in order to firmly grip the road surface, while the compound manages to maintain the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures. The circumferential grooves eliminate water and slush from the footprint and actively resists hydroplaning while the tires are in motion, which guarantees a secure wet weather performance.

The silica compound and the overall better traction manage to provide a fuel conscious drive. They ease the pressure off the tire during its performance and effectively prevent heat build-up while the tires are in motion. This significantly lowers the model’s rolling resistance which is the pressure determining the vehicle’s fuel intake levels. As the rolling resistance is reduced, the tire lessens the vehicle’s needed fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels, which results in a fuel and environmentally conscious driving experience.

The tread design increases the comfort levels greatly. The durable second-layer compound and the tread design manage to minimize the road noise and vibration levels during the drive. In other words, the tire’s special durable compound, which is located below the tread area, allows the model to absorb the shock of driving. This greatly lowers the road vibration levels. The tread’s variable pitch placement, on the other hand, generates a special sound-cancelling frequency that negates the soundwaves before they can reach the passengers vehicle’s cabin. As a result, the tire promotes a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

The Continental ProContact GX (J) also boosts the controllability. The overall larger tire footprint closely follows the road surface at all times, enabling the model to increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the better road contact enhances the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while it also secures the structural stability in versatile temperatures. This combination greatly boosts the driver’s control over the vehicle throughout its performance.
