A self-sealing tire today no longer belongs solely to the realm of science fiction or secret agents. On the contrary, Continental has been offering a self-sealing tire since 2007<\/strong>, when it first introduced the tire with ContiSeal\u2122 technology at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Continental<\/a><\/p>\n

ContiSeal\u2122 is<\/strong> a technology that enables automatic sealing<\/strong> of the tire in case of a typical puncture of the tread<\/a>. This technology only works for smaller punctures, up to about 5 mm in size, which corresponds to a puncture from a nail or screw. Another advantage is that the tire remains sealed even if you remove the object that<\/strong> pierced the tread<\/strong><\/a>. Thus, the driver does not need to deal with the puncture by immediately changing the tire or using a repair kit. They can simply continue driving or try to remove the clicking nail.<\/span><\/p>\n

Principle of ContiSeal tire operation:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The inside of the tire is filled with a relatively thick layer of black viscous sealing compound. This compound is capable of sealing the resulting hole from the inside of the tire<\/strong> in case of a puncture. The sealing occurs immediately with minimal loss of pressure<\/strong>. According to statistics, such a tire can handle up to 80% of punctures on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n
