ContiSeal™ is a technology designed to seal a damaged tyre tread.
ContiSeal™ is a technology developed by Continental, designed to seal damaged tread. If you experience a puncture by a small yet impactful object like a nail, there is no need for an inconvenient and immediate roadside tyre change. With ContiSeal™ tyres, holes in the tread will remain sealed even if the object that caused the puncture becomes dislodged.
ContiSeal™ is a sticky, gum-like sealant layer inside the wheel, in the tread area. The technology seals 80% of all punctures, reducing the risk of flat tyres. ContiSeal™ tyres are clearly marked with a symbol on the sidewall and are compatible with all commonly-available wheel rims.
ContiSeal™ (Punctured)
A ContiSeal™ tyre has a sticky, gum-like sealant layer that is inside the tyre in the tread area. It provides an almost instantaneous seal around any penetrating object (up to 5 mm diameter in the tread area) in order to trap the air inside, keep the tyre inflated and you mobile, without an inconvenient roadside tyre change.
Standard Tyre (Deflated)
When a puncture occurs on a standard tyre, the sidewall can get crushed between the rim and the ground, leading to a potentially dangerous situation such as a blowout or the tyre slipping off the rim, which can make it impossible to fit a spare tyre.
