Continental CrossContact ATR OVERVIEW The Continental CrossContact ATR (VW) is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for light trucks and SUVs. This specific tire is marked with VW as it is the original equipment of Volkswagen vehicles. This model is designed for electric vehicles.The tread pattern provides a high number of biting edges and boosts the overall handling ability and driving stability. These tread elements closely follow the driving surface and improve the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instructions. The ideal sipe and notch pattern enhances the overall maneuvering power and upgrades the cornering and braking ability. It allows the driver to control the vehicle with confidence all the time, guaranteeing a better and safer driving experience.The strengthened internal materials prevent the tire from losing its optimal shape under load and driving pressure, improving the tire's load capacity. These structural materials keep the tire in its optimal shape in heavy-duty conditions. The tread also enhances the tire's load-handling power by avoiding excessive pressure build-up across the tread area. The combination of these features allows the tire to perform well under larger loads.The staggered blocks and high void ratio upgrade the soft, loose, and uneven terrain traction. These tread elements work together in order to ensure a consistent forward motion on versatile surface conditions. The tread also keeps the footprint clean by dispersing mud and snow from the footprint, preventing them from blocking surface contact. Stone retention is also prevented, as rocks do not drill into the tread area.The specially placed tread elements are able to lower road disturbances throughout the performance, promoting a noise-free driving experience. The footprint is able to prevent the airwaves from generating tread noise, preventing it from reaching the vehicle's cabin. In other words, this allows the passengers to enjoy a quiet and comfortable driving experience during the tire's on-road drive.The Continental CrossContact ATR (VW) benefits from its all season compound materials and detailed tread elements. This combination allows the tire to perform remarkably well in all weather conditions. The optimized compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures, while grooves eliminate water and slush from the footprint. This prevents the vehicle from hydroplaning and offers a safer all season performance.Not all tire sizes are suitable for all vehicle types. Please refer to the item specifications for accurate information about vehicle type fitment for this particular size.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
