Continental VanContact A/S

Continental VanContact A/S features

The VanContact A/S multi-season tyre is designed to shorten braking distances on wet roads and reduce the dangerous phenomenon of aquaplaning.

The tread has three longitudinal grooves on the circumference of the tyre, which allow for efficient drainage even in heavy rain. In winter conditions, the shape of the VanContact A/S tread ensures that slush is quickly removed. This is made possible by stepped grooves, which are more effective than straight grooves.

Continental all-season tyre is also effective in dry conditions. It makes it possible to clock high mileages without worrying about the tyre's longevity. The shape of the tread ensures that the rolling resistance is maintained at a good level. This is also due to the special compound and translates into savings at the petrol station. Continental points to some of the most important advantages of VanContact A/S:

• Better wet braking.

• Reducing aquaplaning (the formation of a water cushion between the road surface and the tyre that reduces braking performance).

• Versatility - the tyre allows driving in various weather conditions - from dry to snow.

• Less rolling resistance, which means lower fuel bills.

• Greater durability.

The VanContact A/S multi-season tyre is the perfect choice for light to medium commercial vehicles, trucks and pickups. It has the advantage of reducing running costs - the car owner does not have to change tyres twice a year.

Continental is one of the largest tyre manufacturers in the world. It was established in 1871 in Hanover, Germany. In 1904 Continental was the first company in the world to develop a retreaded tyre for passenger cars. In 1955 the company was the first German manufacturer to start producing tubeless tyres. Currently, the company produces not only tyres, but also braking systems, automotive electronics and technical elastomers.
