Product Information

Full details

The Continental UltraContact NXT is designed for drivers of a wide range of cars, including electric vehicles, seeking a sustainable yet high-performance summer tire. Its key benefit is the exceptional balance between environmental responsibility, safety, and efficiency, boasting up to 65% recycled and renewable materials and a triple A rating on the EU tire label. A potential caveat is its focus as a summer tire, meaning performance in winter conditions is not its primary design consideration.

FAQs

What does 'NXT' stand for in Continental UltraContact NXT?

NXT signifies 'Next Generation,' highlighting the tire's advanced sustainable materials and technology.

Is this tire suitable for winter driving?

The UltraContact NXT is a summer tire. While it offers good wet grip, it is not designed for cold temperatures, snow, or ice. For winter conditions, a dedicated winter tire is recommended.

How is the sustainability of this tire measured?

Sustainability is measured by the percentage of recycled and renewable materials used. The UltraContact NXT contains up to 65% such materials, including bio-based, bio-circular, and circular feedstock.

What is the benefit of the triple A rating on the EU tire label?

A triple A rating means the tire achieves the best possible scores for rolling resistance (fuel efficiency/EV range), wet braking (safety), and rolling noise (comfort).

Can I use the UltraContact NXT on my electric vehicle?

Yes, the UltraContact NXT is specifically designed to be compatible with and beneficial for electric vehicles due to its low rolling resistance, contributing to extended range.

How often should I check my tire pressure?

It is recommended to check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long journeys to ensure optimal performance, safety, and efficiency.

What is the advantage of the Yellow Chili compound?

The Yellow Chili compound is a long-standing Continental technology that ensures excellent grip and outstanding mileage, providing a balance between performance and tire longevity.

Troubleshooting

Uneven tire wear

Check tire inflation levels, ensure proper wheel alignment, and follow the recommended tire rotation schedule.

Increased road noise

Verify tire pressure is correct. Uneven wear patterns can also cause noise; inspect tread for abnormalities. Ensure the tire size is appropriate for the vehicle.

Reduced fuel efficiency/EV range

Check tire pressure and ensure it is set to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended levels. Examine tires for damage or excessive wear that could increase rolling resistance.

Poor wet grip

Ensure tire tread depth is adequate. Verify that the tires are not nearing their wear indicators. Check for proper tire inflation, as incorrect pressure can affect grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Continental UltraContact NXT is designed as a summer tire and is compatible with a wide range of passenger cars and electric vehicles. Ensure you select the correct size, load index, and speed rating that matches your vehicle's specifications, as indicated in your owner's manual or on the tire placard located on the driver's side doorjamb.

Installation: Installation should always be performed by a qualified tire professional to ensure proper mounting, balancing, and alignment. Incorrect installation can affect performance, safety, and tire life.

Care: To maximize the lifespan and performance of your UltraContact NXT tires:

  1. Regular Inspection: Periodically check tire pressure and inspect for any signs of wear, damage, or embedded objects.
  2. Maintain Proper Inflation: Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure specified by your vehicle manufacturer. Under or over-inflation can lead to uneven wear and reduced efficiency.
  3. Rotation: Rotate your tires at recommended intervals (typically every 6,000-8,000 miles) to promote even tread wear.
  4. Wheel Alignment: Ensure your vehicle's wheel alignment is checked regularly, especially after hitting a pothole or curb, to prevent premature or uneven tire wear.
