CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Nov. 12, 2007) — Continental Tire North America Inc. is adding 40 sizes in 16- to 21-inch rim diameters to its ContiSportContact 3 tire line.
The tire was introduced to the North American market about a year ago. It is designed to offer shorter braking distances on both wet and dry roads with improved aquaplaning resistance.
The tire also has an asymmetrical ribbed tread pattern, silica compound and specialized tread patterns for rear-wheel-drive vehicles.
