Continental tyres award winning performance has again been recognised as they are awarded the top spot in the 2010 evo tyre test for their ultra high performance tyre, the ContiSportContact3. A great achievement coming just one month after picking up an award by Auto Express’s in the product honours.

Evo tested the 205 45 R17 tyre on a Mazda MX-5 and chose a range of premium and budget brand tyres which represents the tyres available in the market place today.

Tests were carried out in varying conditions including braking in the wet and dry, straight and curved aquaplaning and finally handling tests on a wet and dry track. This enabled the tyre testers to get a good feel for how the tyres perform in normal day to day driving conditions.

Scott Benbow from Continental said: “We are so pleased with this result. ContiSportContact 3 has displayed its prowess in a number of disciplines which shows we have produced a well-rounded tyre suited to meet the needs to today’s driver”.

Full details of this test are featured in the August 2010 edition of Evo magazine.
