The PureContact LS is a high-quality, all-season tire designed for drivers of various vehicles such as sedans, coupes, minivans, and small crossovers. Its main goal is to provide an excellent driving experience with responsive handling, sporty steering, and a comfortable, quiet ride. The tire is also optimized for year-round traction, including light snow conditions. To achieve these performance characteristics, the PureContact LS utilizes temperature-activated polymers in its tread compound. These polymers enhance the bonding of the compound and contribute to improved tire wear and fuel efficiency. The tread pattern features stable blocks on the shoulders for lateral grip and high-speed handling, while the wide central rib ensures a solid on-center feel and confident straight-line tracking. Comfort is a priority with the PureContact LS, as it incorporates Comfort Ride Technology. This technology isolates the tread from the casing, reducing vibrations felt in the cabin. Additionally, the tire is equipped with Continental's +Silane additives, which enhance traction on slippery surfaces. The presence of sweeping grooves and deep channels help to resist hydroplaning, ensuring effective water evacuation. For winter conditions, the PureContact LS is equipped with siped shoulders and intermediate tread blocks that create additional biting edges for grip on snowy or icy roads. The traction grooves within the tread design trap snow, providing snow-to-snow traction for further stability. The construction of the PureContact LS tire consists of a single-ply polyester casing. This allows for a balance of responsive handling, ride comfort, and overall performance. The tire also features dual steel belts that are reinforced by two polyamide overlays, enhancing durability and maintaining high-speed uniformity.
