Cadillac’s high-performance electric SUV, the LYRIQ-V, will roll off the production line equipped with Continental’s PremiumContact 6 tires, reinforcing a strategic partnership between the U.S. car manufacturer and the German tire giant. The worldwide original equipment approval for these 22-inch summer tires underscores Continental’s expertise in delivering performance-oriented solutions tailored for electric vehicles.
Designed for dynamic and responsive driving, the PremiumContact 6 ensures enhanced grip, precise handling, and high cornering stability, crucial for the powerful LYRIQ-V. The tire’s circumferential groove design enables quick response and precise steering, while a special silica rubber compound provides excellent braking performance on both wet and dry roads. Additionally, its low rolling resistance aids in maximizing battery efficiency, a key advantage for electric vehicle owners.
Continental’s tire development places a strong emphasis on low rolling resistance, minimal noise, and high mileage, meeting the increased load demands of electric SUVs due to battery weight. The company’s dominance in the EV market is evident, as 18 of the 20 highest-volume electric vehicle manufacturers globally rely on Continental tires for their original equipment.
The PremiumContact 6 (22-inch) has been approved for the Cadillac LYRIQ-V in multiple countries, marking another milestone in Continental’s commitment to innovative, high-performance tire solutions for the next generation of mobility.
