Audi is factory-fitting its RS 6 Avant performance with Continental SportContact 7 premium tyres. Thanks to its outstanding characteristics, the tyre has performed impressively in numerous tests and also won over the Ingolstadt-based carmaker. Continental has obtained global approval for equipping the Audi RS 6 Avant performance with a 22-inch fitment.
The SportContact 7 is a high-performance summer tyre designed for powerful, sporty vehicles. The Continental developers focused on achieving highest perfection in all performance criteria with a view to combining the most enjoyable driving experience possible with the very highest levels of safety and sustainability. Compared to the predecessor model, the tyre offers reduced wet braking distances by eight percent. In dry braking, the SportContact 7 improves by six percent and mileage is also extended by 17 percent. Wet and dry handling and grip also benefit from the tyre’s new development.
The SportContact 7 for the Audi RS 6 Avant performance also comes with ContiSilent technology, which reduces the rolling noise – perceived as particularly annoying inside the passenger compartment – by as much as nine decibels. This technology takes the form of a special foam layer attached to the inside of the tyre tread. This even more effectively blocks the vibrations generated as the tyre rolls along the road surface while the vehicle is in motion.
Since being launched on the market, the SportContact 7 has been crowned the winner in eleven high-profile independent tyre tests including evo’s ultra-high performance tyre test, the Auto Express 2022 Ultra-Ultra-High Performance tyre test and TyreReviews Ultra High-Performance Tyre Test 2022. Testers have been especially impressed by the extremely balanced and highly responsive handling, short wet braking distances and outstanding grip during braking and cornering.
