Continental Tyre Malaysia (CTM) officially launched the Continental MaxContact 7 MC7 tyre for the Malaysian market in April this year, bringing its successor to the MaxContact MC6 to market in sizes ranging from 16 to …

As part of the German brand’s Generation 7 range of products, improvements to the model in the guise of the MaxContact MC7 – relative to the MaxContact MC6 – are made in the areas of dry handling, dry braking, wet braking, noise and fuel efficiency, while matching its predecessor in areas of wear mileage and wet handling.

This works hand in hand with the ReFlex Compound, which is crafted for optimum stiffness in order to have a higher level of resistance to tyre deformation, thus yielding improved steering response and precision. The compound also offers an enhanced polymer blend for grip in mild to warm temperatures, and this suits usage in tropical climes such as that of Malaysia.

The track segment of the test for the MaxContact MC7 was held at Luddenham Raceway in Luddenham, New South Wales, approximately a 45-minute drive from the Sydney central business district. Luddenham Raceway is an eight-turn, 1.4 km-long circuit that is 10 m in width, with 22 m in elevation change and run clockwise, offering a condensed test for vehicles and components.

The second run with the MaxContact MC7 in the wet cornering exercise exhibited markedly less understeer, allowing more speed to be carried in reserve, which we found impressive considering the tight radius and wet surface of the turn involved, which can be attributed to the laser-cut 3D tread sipes at work.
