US car manufacturer Cadillac has awarded original equipment approval to Continental for the 22in tire fitted to its Lyriq-V electric SUV. For that fitment, the vehicle will leave the factory on PremiumContact 6 tires.
The PremiumContact 6 features an optimized design, specified to provide control and high cornering stability at higher speeds, with high levels of grip to ensure power is effectively transferred to the road. The circumferential groove design enables quick response and precise steering. The tire has been engineered for safe driving in all weather conditions with its special silica rubber compound, while the low rolling resistance helps extend the battery range of the Lyriq-V.
With an increased load index, the tires have been designed to cope with the increased weight of electric vehicles resulting from the battery. Around the world, 18 of the 20 highest-volume manufacturers of fully electric vehicles rely on Continental tires for their original equipment.
