Run-Flat Tires, ContiSeal

Run-Flat Tires, ContiSeal

• The Eos can be equipped with run-flat Continental tires as optional equipment.

• The ContiSeal technology creates a system that makes it possible to continue driving, even if nails or screws or embedded in a tire. A protective layer on the inside of the tire running surface immediately seals any holes that result from driving over nails and screws.

• This way no air can escape. The sealant can work on almost all types of air leaks up with a diameter of up to five millimeters.

ContiSeal Tires

• Continental has already incorporated the Contiseal sealant into the tire manufacturing process.

• ContiSeal is a self-adhering, viscous sealant, which is evenly applied to the inner side of the running surface from shoulder to shoulder.

• The sealant is an integral component of ContiSeal tires.

• There is a special logo on the side wall of the tire which identifies it as a ContiSeal tire.







The sealant is not intended to be a permanent tire repair after a puncture has happened.

• If a foreign object with a diameter up to 5 mm punctures the running surface of a ContiSeal tire, the sealant immediately closes the puncture and seals it to prevent air leakage.






• The sealant is designed to seal most punctures caused by a foreign object, which has a diameter up to 5 mm.






• ContiSeal reduces the frequency of flat tires, but it is not intended to make is possible to drive on a tire which has minimum tire pressure or is completely flat.

• ContiSeal tires have all the same characteristics as tires without the ContiSeal sealant.

• When working with ContiSeal tires it is especially important to pay attention to cleanliness and to storing the tires.

• The sealant in the inner side of the tire running surface is not protected and therefore is subject to any type of dirt.

• It is recommended to store the tires in large bags or something similar.

• As with other tires, the tires should be checked regularly for signs of cuts, punctures and air pressure loss.

• The tires should be inspected at least one or twice a month and/or always after a long trip.

• If punctures or damage are not taken care of in a timely manner, the result may be a loss of pressure and/or the tire could fail.

• ContiSeal tires with cuts or punctures must be immediately inspected

• It must be decided if the tire should be removed and scrapped.

• Mounting and dismounting a ContiSeal tire is identical to that of a standard tire.
