Conti take Evo's annual tyre prize 24/04/2015
February's edition of Evo magazine is one of the most eagerly
anticipated of the year, as the magazine carry out their annual tyre
test.
The performance car magazine is read by performance car enthusiasts
all over the world, with many taking the advice found inside and using
it to make purchasing decisions for their cars.
With a range of tests carried out on different brands of performance
car tyres from all over the world, the magazine pits the biggest tyre
brands against each other, where only one can come out on top.
This year the tests looked at wet and dry handling, braking and
aquaplaning, as it looked to find the best tyre of them all. The winner,
not surprisingly was the Continental ContiSportContact3 which has been
on the receiving end of a whole host of different awards.
Evo commended the tyre, labelling it a tyre which brought its driver an impressive complete performance in this month's magazine.
The ContiSportContact 3 is fitted as standard on a huge number of
cars from many different manufacturers, and it was the 225/40 R18 which
stole the show in the tests.
In their magazine, Evo described the wet handling of the
ContiSportContact 3 as Masterful before adding that there were, were
some great performances on the wet circuit but the Conti still stood
out, setting the fastest lap time, recording the highest lateral G, and
scoring the highest subjective mark, too-it wasn't bettered.
Product manager at continental, Jonathan Hayter was really happy
with the result, adding, This additional win for the ContiSportContact3
is an excellent endorsement for our product range. The ultra high
performance tyre has proven its worth yet again next to competitor
products and has displayed its prowess in a number of disciplines
including wet handling and braking.
