Continental Tyres has developed new tyre technology that makes it possible for a vehicle to continue on its way even after a tyre has been punctured with a screw or nail.

A protective layer on the inside of the tread immediately seals holes that develop when screws or nails puncture the tyre, so that no air can escape.

Because the motorist won't always notice that an object has gone into the tyre, Continental recommends that tyres be examined regularly for nails or screws.

If in any doubt, motorists should consult with a car dealership or tyre dealer. Tyres with ContiSeal technology were first introduced as concept tyres at last year's Geneva Motor Show.

The new Passat CC four-door, is among the first cars to be fitted with the self-sealing Continental tyres as standard.
