Hyundai has selected the Continental PremiumContact C tire with XL marking as the original equipment for its IONIQ 9 electric SUV. This choice addresses the specific challenges of Electric Vehicles (EVs), which are heavier and require superior comfort features.

The PremiumContact C is designed for the warmer season. It incorporates ContiSilent technology, a major asset that reduces road noise to maximize on-board comfort—a crucial factor in an EV where engine silence amplifies tire noise.

Increased Robustness and Safety

This tire is engineered for heavy SUVs and crossovers. Its reinforced (XL) design ensures superior load-bearing capacity, ideal for the IONIQ 9’s battery pack.

Furthermore, the innovative tread pattern promises precise handling and short braking distances on both dry and wet roads. By ensuring optimal ground pressure distribution, Continental offers Hyundai a perfect blend of safety, comfort, and performance for its premium electric SUV.
