Semperit Sport Grip With New Sipe-Technology

Continental’s subsidiary Semperit introduced its new winter-tyre “Sport Grip” for stronger motorised passenger cars to the press at the end of September in Austria. With its new sipe-technology called “Add Traction” and a corresponding profile structure, the new tyre has been designed to meet the most difficult driving conditions of the winter season. In addition, modern silica tread technology will guarantee a balanced handling up to speeds of 210 kilometres per hour.

The “Add Traction” sipe consists of three parallel ordered straight sipe pieces which are angled in a “z” shape. In the immobile middle of the block they double the effective length of the grip edges, thus significantly increasing traction. The directional profile of the Sport Grip is also characterised by diagonal profile blocks and enlarged grip edges that optimise traction and side stability.
