The tyre has three different tread zones, which are tailored for driving in wet, slippery or dry conditions, respectively. The tyre pressure and rim width are varied which then allows the different tread zones to become the major contact point of the road to ensure the appropriate tire characteristics for the current road conditions.

The tyre pressures and rim width are monitored by "ContiSense" in that sensors embedded within the tyre continually measure tread depth and temperature and transmit that data via electrically-conductive rubber to a receiver in the car or via Bluetooth to a smartphone. If the tyre is punctured, an immediate warning is sent to the driver, much faster than any existing system, which at best only warn when the tyre pressure begins to fall.
