Experience exceptional longevity with the innovative YellowChili compound. Rely on its high load capacity, thanks to the robust UltraShield construction. Enjoy outstanding wet performance and the comfort of reduced road noise. This is our recipe for ultra-long driving pleasure.
Unmatched Longevity and Performance
We understand that driving on quality tires is far more enjoyable than constantly replacing them. That's why the UltraContact, with its advanced YellowChili compound and optimized tread design, offers a safe and balanced driving experience with ultra-high mileage. Get used to not thinking about new tires for a very, very long time.
Robust Construction for All Road Conditions
When roads get rough, the UltraContact remains unfazed. Driving is most enjoyable when you know nothing can hold you back. Designed for this feeling, the new UltraContact features a robust UltraShield construction that provides excellent protection against everyday damage. Enjoy a smooth ride on all types of road surfaces, whether rough and bumpy or freshly paved.
Safe Performance on Wet Roads
Relish every moment on the road, even in the rain. A high number of specially designed sipes create the wipe-out effect, quickly channeling water away and ensuring short braking distances. Additionally, special noise breakers in the tread grooves significantly reduce road noise, making every drive as pleasant and safe as possible.

Rely on high resilience - thanks to the robust UltraShield construction.
Experience convincing performance in wet conditions and the comfort of low driving noise.
Our recipe for ultra-long driving fun.
We know that it is much more fun to see good tires in action on the asphalt than to have to look after new ones. That is why the UltraContact with its new YellowChili mixture and the adapted profile design enables you to have a safe and balanced driving experience with ultra-high mileage. The best thing to do is get used to not thinking about new tires for a very, very long time.
When the streets get rougher, he doesn't show anything.
Driving is most fun when you know that next to nothing can stop you. And it is precisely for this feeling that we have developed the new UltraContact. Its robust UltraShield construction offers excellent protection against everyday damage. We wish you a pleasant time on all kinds of road surfaces - whether rough and bumpy or freshly paved.
For safe performance on wet surfaces.
Enjoy every single moment on the road - even when it's raining. A large number of specially shaped lamellas enables the so-called wipe-out effect, whereby water is quickly drained to the outside and you benefit from a short braking distance. In addition, special noise breakers in the tire grooves significantly reduce driving noise. So that every journey is as pleasant and safe as possible for you.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
