The Continental ContiVanContact 200 light truck summer tire is specifically designed for minivans and multipurpose vehicles that require maximum safety and increased durability above all else. To fully meet these requirements, Continental's developers used all their technical innovations and technologies. In addition, an innovative rubber compound was applied during production, which significantly improved the tire's mileage and braking properties. This tire is a great example of an optimal balance of excellent operational characteristics and affordable cost.
New Tread Pattern
The tread pattern was developed using computer modeling, which allowed the selection of the most optimal option from a huge number of variants. Two rows of central blocks provide increased directional stability and fast feedback. Due to this, you will have complete control over the vehicle on any road surface. Reliable handling in turns is achieved due to massive shoulder blocks that allow increasing the carrying capacity and, consequently, reducing the percentage of damage. As a result of the increased contact patch with the road surface, stability and handling have been improved. Three central wide grooves quickly remove water from the contact patch, preventing the aquaplaning effect. A special system of lamellas not only increases traction with a wet road surface but also reduces the sound effect when moving, increasing the comfort of the ride. The optimal arrangement of blocks and a large number of lamellas made it possible to significantly reduce the braking distance, increasing driving safety.
New Rubber Compound
When creating the rubber compound, various additives were used that made it possible to improve the tire's operational characteristics. Instead of petroleum products, silica with a high silica content was used, which improved traction with any road surface, increased the tread's durability, and reduced rolling resistance. As a result, the tire has an increased service life, excellent passability, and reduced fuel consumption.
Reinforced Casing
Light truck tires Continental ContiVanContact 200 are constantly subjected to increased loads and operated in difficult conditions, which becomes the cause of frequent damage and punctures. To provide maximum protection and increase the ability to withstand increased loads, a reinforced cord was used when creating the casing. Due to this, the casing has increased strength, which, together with the massive blocks of the tread, made it possible to achieve maximum protection against possible damage and punctures.
As you can see, this model has excellent operational characteristics: the tire's mileage has increased by 10%, durability has increased by 10%, and rolling resistance has decreased by 15% compared to other models in this segment. At the same time, braking characteristics on dry roads have improved by 10%, and on wet roads by 15%. As a result, the tire is in high demand among consumers around the world.
