Continental lança o pneu de uso misto TKC80²

A Continental lançou o TKC80², uma versão atualizada de seu pneu de aventura TKC80, com 40 anos de mercado, no BMW Performance Center em Spartanburg, Carolina do Sul. O novo pneu visa melhorar a aderência fora de estrada, a dirigibilidade em piso molhado, a estabilidade e o desgaste uniforme, mantendo um visual familiar. Os engenheiros descreveram o desafio de design como um 'conflito de objetivos' para equilibrar o desempenho em estrada e fora dela.

Os engenheiros da Continental apresentaram o TKC80² como um sucessor projetado para resolver os compromissos inerentes aos pneus de uso misto. O pneu mantém a construção diagonal após protótipos radiais produzirem ressonância excessiva. Segundo a Continental, a aparência icônica do TKC80 de 40 anos exigia uma estética semelhante para o novo modelo, daí o nome TKC80² em vez de uma designação completamente nova. Um engenheiro descreveu-o de forma bem-humorada como um 'pneu 60 por cento estrada e 60 por cento fora de estrada'.
