Continental has received original-equipment (OE) approval for the new Volkswagen ID. Polo. The all-electric compact model will be fitted as standard with Continental’s EcoContact 7 summer tire, approved in the 17- and 18-inch sizes. Volkswagen also recommends the 18-inch versions of the AllSeasonContact 2 and the WinterContact TS 870 P.
According to the tire maker, the EcoContact 7 is an efficient summer tire designed for low rolling resistance and high mileage. A special combination of materials in the tire’s construction reduces internal friction, thereby lowering rolling resistance. This reduces the vehicle’s energy consumption and improves efficiency. Another feature is the Aerodimple structure in the tire sidewall.
