A summer tread, drawn as a category. This is what this kind of tyre is laid out to do, not a picture of this one's own pattern.

Great Britain retained Regulation (EC) 1222/2009, so the label here uses the older A to G scales. Northern Ireland follows the current EU label, which runs A to E and carries a QR code.

What it is for

The Q suffix marks the sizes developed for the load and torque of electrified platforms rather than carried over. Where a size is offered with ContiSilent, a bonded foam layer sits against the inner liner and damps the cavity noise that arrives through the suspension rather than through the air.
