Continental meluncurkan ban dual-purpose TKC80²

Continental telah merilis TKC80², versi terbaru dari ban petualang TKC80 yang telah berusia 40 tahun, di BMW Performance Center di Spartanburg, Carolina Selatan. Ban baru ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan cengkeraman di medan off-road, pengendalian di jalan basah, stabilitas, serta keausan yang merata sambil mempertahankan tampilan yang familiar. Para insinyur menggambarkan tantangan desain ini sebagai 'konflik target' untuk menyeimbangkan performa di jalan raya dan medan off-road.

Insinyur Continental memperkenalkan TKC80² sebagai suksesor yang dirancang untuk mengatasi kompromi yang melekat pada ban dual-purpose. Ban ini tetap menggunakan konstruksi bias setelah purwarupa radial menghasilkan resonansi yang berlebihan. Menurut Continental, tampilan ikonik dari TKC80 yang berusia 40 tahun mengharuskan estetika serupa untuk model baru ini, sehingga menggunakan nama TKC80² alih-alih penamaan yang benar-benar baru. Salah satu insinyur dengan nada humor menyebutnya sebagai 'ban 60 persen jalan raya dan 60 persen off-road'.
