Continental AG (Continental) announced that it is providing three tires, EcoContact 6, PremiumContact 6, and CrossContact LX Sport, for OE fitment for Hyundai Tucson.
The special rubber compound of the EcoContact 6 (available in 17 and 18 inch) minimizes energy absorption while driving and reduces friction and rolling resistance. The PremiumContact 6 (available in 19-inch) is specially designed for safe and comfortable driving. The special rubber compound in the tread ensures excellent safety and wet braking properties.
For the Asia-Pacific region, Hyundai also offers the Tucson with the premium CrossContact LX Sport tire in size 18-inch. The CrossContaxt LX Sport also has a reinforced side wall that protects against damage.
