Continental has announced that it is introducing its ContiSeal technology on its most popular van tyre, the VanContact 100 in size 215/65 R 1C.
ContiSeal seals small holes and punctures of up to 5mm diameter in the tread, with no loss of tyre pressure.
Other tyre sizes will follow, says the company, and it is also looking to add ContiSeal to its winter and all-season ranges for vans.
“Even smaller punctures lead to vehicle downtimes or the costly and complicated business of transferring the load to another vehicle. ContiSeal technology can reliably seal around 90% of all potential cases of punctures to the tread,” says Jan-Ole van Lengen, the manufacturer’s product manager for van and light commercial vehicle tyres.
