Continental just patented a tire that changes compound based on temperature. Warm conditions trigger a harder compound for durability. Cold weather activates softer rubber for grip.
The technology uses phase-change materials embedded in the tread. No electronics or batteries required.
Production timeline unknown, but patent documents suggest road bike applications first.
Could be a game-changer for all-season riders.
