Having the correct tyres for your vehicle is something I’m quite familiar with as the proud owner of a garage in Halifax. Proper tyres are crucial for long-distance races like the Daytona 24 Hours.

In Halifax, we care about Continental’s performance in the Daytona 24 Hour Race, but you might be asking why. It all comes down to how committed they are to performance and innovation. Tyre innovations made by Continental for use on racetracks typically find their way into their consumer tyres.

Continental has also extended their involvement with the NASCAR Group company as well as the IMSA.
To continue with the sports car theme,
Continental Tyre has developed the first legal track-day tyre. This was achieved through tyre expertise and much research and development. The new tyre is known as the Conti Force Contact. Of course, we will include the now-famous “Black Chilli Compound”! This helps the tyres bond to the road surface better. The new compound, combined with a newly developed macroblock shoulder design, gives the new tyre superb handling when cornering at speed.
The Continental tyre also benefits from having bi-directional draining grooves on the inside of the tread, which provides excellent wet weather performance when on the track, allowing for safer driving conditions for the driver in wet weather. The tyres are available in wheel rim sizes ranging from 18 to 20 inches.
