Range Rover opted the ContiCrossContact™ UHP to provide the winner with maximum grip and handling, as well as ensuring a highly comfortable ride.

The ground contact patch of the four tyres has to handle the enormous forces occurring during acceleration, cornering and braking. In addition, the tyres have to ensure traction not only on the road, but off it as well.
