Continental Tyres have recently launched the Sport Contact 5 P their latest ultra high performance tyre. Prior to the release of the Sport Contact 5 P the offering from Continental Tyres was the Sport Contact 3. So the question is – What happened to the Sport Contact 4 ?
Continental Tyres spend millions of pounds on research into all aspects of tyre production from materials to the compound of the rubber but it doesn’t end there …
Uniroyal Tyres, which is part of the Continental AG Group, had little success with its “Rallye 440″ tyre in the Far East and when they looked at it a little harder they found that “4″ was considered an unlucky number within many cultures in this part of the world.
Continental Tyres say they learnt a lesson from this and that’s why the Sport Contact jumped from Sport Contact 3 to Sport Contact 5.
