Continental has gained original equipment (OE) approval from Ford to supply its EcoContact 6 Q summer tyres in 19-, 20- and 21-inch sizes for the new Explorer and Capri electric SUVs.<\/p>\n

For use in all seasons, the American automaker has also issued an OE-approval for the AllSeasonContact all-weather tyres in 19-inch size.<\/p>\n

The new Ford Capri is on sale in Ireland now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Designed for quiet and energy-efficient driving, Continental says the EcoContact 6 Q tyres are particularly suited to electric vehicles such as the Ford Explorer and Capri. The specially developed rubber compound lessens energy absorption while the vehicle is in motion and reduces friction in the material as well as rolling resistance.<\/p>\n

In addition, the developers at Continental have optimised the tyre\u2019s tread. Lower rolling noise contributes to enhanced driving comfort. Thanks to modified blocks, sipes and side grooves, the EcoContact 6 Q offers especially high mileage and braking performance as well as good handling.<\/p>\n

Besides short braking distances, Continental adds that the premium tyre provides a reliable grip on dry and wet road surfaces as well as excellent cornering stability, even at high speeds.<\/p>\n

Low rolling resistance, low rolling noise and high mileage are the focus of Continental\u2019s tyre development. Around the world, the 10 highest-volume manufacturers of fully-electric vehicles rely on Continental tyres for their original equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
