Continental was pivotal in the design and development of VW ID. Buzz. The company made vast  technical contributions to the making of the vehicle. This includes designing the brake system and thermal management system, among other things. Most notably, Continental tyres provided equipment tyres for the VW ID. Buzz.  

The VW ID. Buzz is a fully electric vehicle, and the Continental tyres used are designed to work hand-in-hand with the electric car to achieve peak comfort and performance. The line of Continental Tyres used with VW ID. Buzz is the EcoContact 6 Q summer tyre. This energy-optimised tyre comes in two sizes, 19 inches and 20 inches.

Regarding tearing, EcoContact 6 Q is equipped with the standard contiseal technology. This involves putting a layer of strong elastic on the insides of the Tyres. With this technology, tyres can continue functioning even after being punctured or torn. Contiseal technology can seal up big holes of up to 5 millimetres and save you the time and money you would have used to fix the tyre. 

The main tyre is a light rubber material that reduces friction and rolling resistance while driving. Less friction means that your vehicle will conserve more energy, and your battery power  will last longer. The reduced rolling resistance means less noise while driving.
