Continental ContiIceContact

In Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Russia, cars require enhanced traction when driving on winter roads.

This is even more relevant to driving on ice than on a snowy road, which requires tires to have good traction and a soft rubber compound that remains elastic even at low temperatures.

Starting from autumn 2010, the Continental product range will be supplemented with a new product - the Continental ContiIceContact tire, specifically designed for harsh conditions. Created for passenger and all-wheel drive vehicles, the tire has better traction than its predecessors, thus providing greater safety in extremely harsh winter conditions.

The new winter tire is universal for vehicles from compact to business class, as well as for all-wheel drive vehicles.

The main advantages and differences of the Continental ContiIceContact tire

— Maximum traction on ice thanks to innovative stud technology;
— Excellent handling on winter roads as a result of the asymmetrical tread design;
— A special rubber compound that increases traction throughout the life of the tire.

ContiIceContact tire sizes

— radii from 13 to 20 inches;
— profiles from 40 to 80%;
— applicability not only for passenger cars but also for SUVs.

Starting from autumn 2010, the ContiWinterViking 1 and 2, as well as Conti4x4IceContact tires will be completely replaced by the ContiIceContact line.
