Continental ContiVanContact 4Season 185 R14C 102/100R

The all-season tire Continental ContiVanContact 4Season is designed for commercial vehicles of small capacity. It stands out for its high economic efficiency due to its pronounced fuel-saving properties and the possibility of operation throughout the year. Among the driving characteristics, it is worth noting the excellent handling and shortened braking distance in the most difficult road conditions.

Fuel Efficiency

This model is characterized by excellent fuel efficiency. This was achieved through several technical solutions. One of them is the rubber compound of the tread. The basis of its composition is a new generation of silica. In combination with special polymeric compounds, this component affects the tread at the molecular level in such a way that it is little prone to heating even during prolonged high-speed movement. The reduced temperature, in turn, reduces rolling resistance and fuel consumption along with it.

High Deceleration Efficiency

The tread part of the tread is distinguished by an extremely high content of gripping edges. In total, there are several thousand of them. The overwhelming majority of them are formed by lamellas. Many of them are located transversely, which is why the tire has an extremely high efficiency when braking on slippery surfaces.

V-shaped Grooves

In the central part of the tread, there are a large number of small V-shaped grooves. These elements, due to their numerosity and shape, significantly increase the tire's resistance to aquaplaning, interacting with three wide longitudinal grooves.

Improved Snow Performance

The grooves between the shoulder blocks have an unusual stepped shape of the walls. It increases the length of the gripping edges, improving the performance of the tread on snowy surfaces, where this tire demonstrates high efficiency in realizing traction.

Main Features:

- excellent fuel efficiency for this category of tires is ensured by an optimized rubber compound;
- a long service life due to a specially selected tread profile, which evenly distributes the load from the weight of the vehicle across the tire and the contact patch;
- exceptional deceleration efficiency on slippery surfaces due to the high density and transverse arrangement of lamellas;
- the stepped profile of the groove walls between the shoulder blocks increases the tire's performance on snowy surfaces.
