According to Continental research, about 50% of the noise generated while driving is caused by the tires. Especially when driving at high speeds, the contact noise and turbulence between the tires and the road surface increase, making the noise more noticeable. In addition, improving tire noise is becoming more and more important in vehicles with any powertrain, including electric vehicles that run almost silently. So whether you’re driving a vehicle with a conventional internal combustion engine, a hybrid or an electric vehicle, choosing the right comfort tire is very important for your comfort in the car. The ComfortContact CC7 is a comfort tire developed with top priority on driver and passenger comfort. The Comfort+ (Comfort Plus) technology installed in the ComfortContact CC7 provides a quiet interior environment, a smooth ride, and quality time. It exhibits stable driving performance in a wide temperature range and has excellent wear resistance, so it is recommended for daily commuters and drivers who use cars on a daily basis. Lineup of 6 sizes for mini vehicles for Japan. Compatible with a wide range of vehicles from compact cars, mid-size cars, minivans to electric cars.

3. Noise Muter
Two technologies of Noise Muter effectively reduce noise to achieve high quietness. Noise Breaker 3.0 finely disperses sound waves passing through the vertical grooves to prevent noise from accumulating inside the vehicle. A Helmholtz resonator (muffler) neutralizes noise by absorbing the sound of the resonance frequency in a chamber designed using the principle of Helmholtz resonance, reducing the noise level felt inside the car. A quiet environment where passengers can enjoy conversation and music makes driving more enjoyable.
