Technical Highlights The new ContiIceContact New stud technology Brilliant Plus stud for increased safety and outstanding grip on ice New crushed ice technology Improved braking on ice New compound technology Optimized winter properties over lifetime

Technical Highlights Pattern technology – improved handling on all surfaces Feature: Asymmetric pattern design with 3D stepped sipes on pattern inside and 3D sinusoidal sipes on pattern outside Tie bars in lateral grooves with separation sipes Sharp shoulders with aggressive off-shoulder design Effect: Optimized force transmission Increased sipe interlocking Increased lateral grip and improved pattern stiffness for better transmission of forces Benefit: Improved handling performance on all surfaces Optimized grip on ice and snow Improved wear performance Optimized pattern stiffness with higher flexibility of blocks for improved handling on all surfaces

Technical Highlights Advanced stud technology 2010 Brilliant Plus stud -2003 Round stud 2004 Oval stud 2005 Brilliant stud 2010 Brilliant Plus stud SAFETY DRIVING CONTROL Longer grip edges Improved grip on ice and snow due to new stud technology, 11% better braking on ice New stud retention technology

Technical Highlights Stud technology – better safety and grip Feature: New Brilliant Plus design for stud body and pin Special stud coating for innovative retention technology Effect: Increased ice grip and stud retention performance Maximized connection and interaction between studs and tread pattern Reduced stud loss Benefit: Target conflict, ice grip vs. wear performance, shifted to a higher level Optimized transmission of forces between stud and ice for increased safety and driving comfort New innovative stud retention technology for better safety and grip on ice

Technical Highlights Stud technology – crushed ice technology Feature: Crushed ice reservoirs and guiding system surrounding each stud support the ice grip performance of the Brilliant Plus stud Effect: Prevention of "crushed ice” in the contact area between tread block and road surface by optimized guidance under tread block Firm contact between ice and stud pin even in severe braking situations Benefit: More effective pin protrusion Shorter braking distances on ice Optimized flow of ice under tread pattern for firm contact between ice and pin during braking

Technical Highlights Compound technology – optimized winter performance over lifetime Feature: Special compound technology with fully synthetic softeners Effect: Maximized balance of compound flexibility and pattern stiffness over lifetime of the product Benefit: Optimized winter performance over lifetime New compound technology for optimized winter performance over lifetime of the product
