The SportContact 7 Force is an ultra‑ultra‑high‑performance summer tire that builds on the award‑winning SportContact 7. It features an adaptive tread pattern, advanced Harmonized BlackChili compound, and a vehicle‑specific design to deliver precise handling, stability, and grip at high speeds. The tire carries a dedicated BRABUS "BB" sidewall identification, produced exclusively for the partnership.
“With the SportContact 7 Force, we are taking the performance of our most successful UUHP tire to an even sportier level. The combination of adaptive tread pattern, advanced Harmonized BlackChili compound and vehicle-specific design enables handling that remains precise, stable and controllable under extreme conditions.”
