With the start of June, Continental Tire introduced two new all-season touring tires – the PureContact LS and the TrueContact Tour.

  • Traction Grooves specifically designed for snow performance
  • Quick view indicators: Tuned performance indicators enable the driver to see when the tire is no longer performing optimally in dry, wet or snow conditions, and the alignment verification system shows the driver when it’s time for an alignment.

“We took two of our leading touring tires and made them even better,” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for Continental Tire. “We made generational improvements to the already top performing tires and we are pleased with the advances made. Our engineers created two new compounds specifically formulated for the PureContact LS and TrueContact Tour which resulted in even longer tread life, improved road noise, and excellent wet braking capabilities.
