If you’re rolling around town (or plotting weekend escapes) in an SUV, Continental Tyres has cooked up something right up your alley: the brand-new UltraContact UX7. This isn’t just a tyre – it’s a full-on lifestyle upgrade for the modern SUV crowd. Whether you’re navigating packed city streets, chasing sunsets down gravel roads, or simply cruising in quiet comfort, the UX7 is built to keep pace with your pace.
SUVs have exploded in popularity – and let’s be honest, it’s not hard to see why. They’re bold, spacious, and ready for just about anything. But all that size and height means they need tyres that can handle the extra weight, higher centre of gravity, and occasional off-road detour. Enter: Continental’s SUV Confidence+ Technology – the brains and brawn behind the UltraContact UX7.
Built for the Real World (and the Fun Stuff Too)
The UX7 has been engineered to serve up top-tier safety, durability, and ride comfort. First up, grip and stability get a serious upgrade with X-Force Macroblocks – chunky tread zones that expand the tyre’s contact patch. Translation? Better cornering, better handling, and a more planted feel even on dodgy terrain or rainy roads.
Braking distances? Shorter than your last online shopping spree. That’s thanks to the Adaptive Diamond Compound, a clever silica-infused mix that reacts just right under pressure, keeping you in control whether it’s dry tarmac or a wet motorway. And when the heavens open up, the Aqua Channel system kicks in – rapidly draining water to keep you gripped to the road, not sliding across it.
Built to Go the Distance
Sure, most SUV drivers spend Monday to Friday stuck in traffic, but come the weekend? It’s time to hit the trails (or at least the countryside café with questionable signal). The UX7’s Robust360 Construction means it can handle both.
Reinforced steel belts eat up bumps, a beefed-up carcass fights off potential damage, and a dense polymer network resists wear and tear like a champ. So whether you’re dodging potholes or flirting with gravel, these tyres stay strong, stable and ready for more.
Built for Peace and Quiet (Literally)
Modern SUVs – especially the electric kind – are whisper-quiet. Which means tyre noise stands out like a sore thumb. Not with the UX7. A smart tread pattern keeps vibrations low, and Noisebreaker 3.0 steps in like a nightclub bouncer for sound waves, scattering them before they can echo through your cabin.
Ready to Roll
Launching in Q2 2025, the UltraContact UX7 will be available in sizes from 15 to 22 inches, fitting everything from compact crossovers to premium beasts. You can snag a set at any Continental-branded shop, or even online via Shopee, TnG, or Lazada.
In short? The UltraContact UX7 is a tyre that doesn’t just tick boxes – it understands the SUV mindset. Urban? Offbeat? Somewhere in between? This one’s got you covered.
