Continental Tyres has unveiled the UltraContact UX7. Offered in sizes ranging from 15 to 22 inches, this SUV-dedicated tyre will be purchasable starting from the second quarter at Continental-branded outlets and official stores on Shopee, TnG and Lazada.
“The SUV market has seen exponential growth in recent years and we anticipate this trend will continue across the region. Continental Tyres is perfectly positioned to expand our consumer base with the UltraContact UX7 – not only is it optimised for SUV vehicles but also meets the demands of drivers for both urban commutes and casual off-road trips,” said Continental APAC replacement tyres business area head Dalibor Kalina.
The UltraContact UX7 is designed to focus on safety, durability and quietness – its X-Force Macroblocks maximise the tyre’s contact patch for better handling and stability, while the Adaptive Diamond Compound incorporates a special formula with silica that enhances the transformation of kinetic energy into heat at optimum levels, resulting in shorter braking distances on both wet and dry roads, the company says.
While the modern SUV driver travels mainly within the city, he or she may go off the beaten path occasionally, and to that end, the UltraContact UX7’s Robust360 construction includes a reinforced steel belt that strengthens the tyre to absorb shocks from the road, enhancing shape retention and direction stability.
A sturdier carcass design reduces the risk of tyre damage, while polymer chains of Diamond Compound form a rigidly-interlocked network, improving the tyre’s wear performance to avoid cut and chip damage.
Finally, keeping noise at bay are the UltraContact UX7’s precision-cut tread design and its Noisebreaker 3.0 technology, which breaks up sound waves to prevent noise from building up and intruding into the cabin.

So confusing the previous UC6 wrap in every single sub-SUV but the newer one is named UX7? Hope it will come to all those sub-SUV brands also since the older one received so much flack.
there is already UltraContact 7 UC7 in the market but those are suitable for smaller vehicles. The UltraContact UX7 is suitable for car like Volvo XC90, GLE or X5 kind of vehicle. Maybe a more premium and higher performance.

Good or not…compared to the budget bar setter M XM2+ which is durable, long lasting, grippy, for the price.
