Polestar has chosen the Continental SportContact 7 as an original equipment tyre for its Polestar 3 model, granting approval in the 21-inch size for the electric SUV. The Continental UUHP tyre for the Polestar 3 is approved for speeds of up to 168 mph and features the XL marking for increased load capacity.
The SportContact 7 is a high-performance tyre for high-powered sporty vehicles with electric or conventional drives. In addition to enhanced driving stability and excellent grip levels, the tyre offers long range or increased fuel efficiency, along with quiet rolling noise. When developing the SportContact 7, the focus was on combining ultimate driving enjoyment with maximum safety. Accordingly, the tyre achieves an eight per cent shorter braking distance on wet roads when compared with its predecessor model. On dry roads, the braking distance is reduced by six per cent, and the mileage increased by 17 per cent.
The Polestar 3 will be available with the SportContact 7 in numerous countries, including the UK and Ireland, in the following sizes: SportContact 7 POL, 265/45 R21 108W XL FR ContiSilent; SportContact 7 POL, 295/40 R21 111W XL FR.
