If you are looking for long-lasting tyres with excellent performance on any type of road, designed for commercial vehicles, then Continental VancoContact is ideal solution for you. Its special innovative tread pattern guarantees short braking distance on wet roads and protection against aquaplaning.
This model operates well both in dry and wet conditions thanks to the tyre construction and use of high quality materials. Numerous notches on the tread blocks reinforce the structure and improve the grip of the tyre. The flat contour of the belt helps to increase the contact surface of the tread and the ground, thus improving the stability of the vehicle, regardless of the weather.
Three wide perimeter channels and numerous grooves quickly remove water from the front of the tyre, allowing the driver to enjoy the full, safe performance of the vehicle. This shape of tread also helps to minimise the risk of aquaplaning and loss of traction. Two broad central ribs are responsible for the stability and they guarantee improved steering wheel to tyre communication and a faster response to steering commands.
The rubber blend used to produce this model provides flexibility across a wide temperature range. Due to the reduced weight of its components, Continental VancoContact has low rolling resistance, which results in reduced fuel combustion and decreased carbon dioxide emissions.
The balanced distribution of forces acting on the surface of the tyre means that the tread wears slowly and uniformly. This model is also resistant to all kinds of abrasion and damage to the sides of the tyre. This part was specially reinforced to protect the tyre in case of driving onto a curb. Continental VancoContact is a great choice for demanding drivers who expect high performance, regardless of the road type, extended service life and reliability in difficult weather conditions.
Manufacturer Info: Continental was the first manufacturer in history to conduct a professional winter tyre test.
