This technology uses new materials in the tyre\u2019s carcass, liner and sidewall to reduce internal friction and lower rolling resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the tyre\u2019s aerodynamically optimised sidewall design enhances efficiency. Continental has combined several technologies to achieve this, including the \u201caerodimple\u201d structure borrowed from golf balls.<\/p>\n<p>Dimples in the sidewall reduce air turbulence behind the tyre, meaning the vehicle requires less energy to keep the tyre moving.<\/p>\n<p>Continental has also focused on quiet driving, with the newly developed Silent Pattern tread design reducing rolling noise. Developers optimised the spacing and angles of the tread blocks to align with the noise frequencies typically generated at low speeds when driving in urban areas.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the tyre contributes to a quieter ride \u2013 for vehicle occupants as well as pedestrians and residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Renault Clio will be equipped worldwide with Continental tyres as standard.
