SportContact 7 enables precise handling and maximum driving safety
The SportContact 7 is a high-performance tyre for high-powered sporty vehicles with electric or conventional drives. In addition to enhanced driving stability and excellent grip levels, the tyre offers long range or increased fuel efficiency, along with quiet rolling noise. When developing the SportContact 7, the focus was on combining ultimate driving enjoyment with maximum safety. Accordingly, the tyre achieves an 8% shorter braking distance on wet roads when compared with its predecessor model. On dry roads, the braking distance is reduced by 6%, and the mileage increased by 17%.
Thanks to its precise handling characteristics and short braking distances, the SportContact 7 has impressed in numerous independent national and international tests. Recently, the German automobile magazine sport auto crowned it the test winner with a rating of “outstanding” in its latest ultra ultra high-performance (UUHP) summer tyre test for 19/20-inch mixed tyres.
The UUHP tyre for the Polestar 3 is approved for speeds of up to 168 mph and features the XL marking for increased load capacity.
