Continental UltraContact UC6 225/45 R17
Continental UltraContact UC6 225/45 R17, For additional safety, Aqua Channel surface sipes quickly evacuates the water film from the tread pattern as they touch the road. This provides the tyre greater water evacuation capability. On wet highways, the middle of the tyre is at maximum risk from aquaplaning.
Higher safety on wet roads
For additional safety, Aqua Channel surface sipes quickly evacuates the water film from the tread pattern as they touch the road. This provides the tyre greater water evacuation capability.
On wet highways, the middle of the UltraContact UC6 225/45 R17 is at maximum risk from aquaplaning. To further decrease this risk, particularly developed Aqua Drainage elements are placed to quickly thrust water through a tube structure into the tread grooves.
Shorter braking distances
The chamfered angle of the UltraContact UC6 225/45 R17 Diamond Edge in the pattern increases the contact area of the pattern to dispense the braking forces more evenly while braking.
Without this chamfer, the tread block changes and misses some of its contact with the road. In wet situations, the Diamond Edge performs as a wiper that dissipates the water film away from the tread blocks for shorter braking distance.
Adaptive superb grip level and long mileage
The new adaptive Diamond Blend Compound contains two polymer types:
The short grip-polymers of UltraContact UC6 225/45 R17 are triggered when the vehicle is driving over corners or when braking. This energy enables high grip and short braking distances by transforming itself into heat. The long mileage-polymers are entwined and therefore powerfully connected to each other, which guarantees an efficient and high mileage, thus increasing performance.

Understanding Tyre Size 225/45 R17 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 225/45 R17 Tyre Size
If you want to enhance the look and road grip of your car, Continental UltraContact UC6 225/45 R17 is a recommended UPSIZE tyre for Honda Civic Turbo 2020, Toyota Prius.
What does 225/45 R17 mean?
225/45 R17 is the tyre size.
225 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 225 milimetres(mm).
45 is the ratio among width and height of the tyre from its rim. it means that the height of the tyre is precisely 45% of the 225mm. Lower ratio improves road grip, but it reduces comfort to some extent.
R – refers to the method the tyre is produced. The letter “R” is found on all modern car tyres. It indicates the radial structure of tyre cosntructed with steel wires.
17 represents the diameter of the rim. It is a measurement in inches(“). This number should be rememberd as it is the measurement of the rims. It has to match exactly to what is mentioned in the car manual.
