Continental ContiVanContact Ice

The winter tire Continental ContiVanContact Ice is designed for commercial vehicles of small capacity. On any slippery surface, it differs in traction and coupling properties, demonstrating reliability and a long service life in the most unfavorable road conditions.

Improved traction on icy surfaces

Unlike most tires of other brands in this category, the tread of this model is equipped with studs. The steel elements are distributed in such a way that in the zone contacting the road surface, they form ten continuous longitudinal rows. The additional effectiveness of the studs is ensured by the rigid structure of their installation sites and their reliable fixation in the tread using a special adhesive compound. The result of all these solutions is an exceptional grip on ice and compacted snow for tires in this category.

Reliable predictable handling on snow

The tread is made in a sufficiently open design with numerous blocks. In the central part, they are arranged in pairs, being connected by massive bridges. This significantly limits the mobility of the blocks, which gives stability to the coupling properties. The significant height of the edges, their significant length, and multidirectionality allow the tread to grasp the snow with very high efficiency. When driving on snow, all these features provide the tire with excellent stability and stability in handling with fast and accurate reactions to the driver's actions.

Optimal lamella arrangement

The entire tread is literally filled with narrow sinusoidal slots. In the central part, they are arranged at a sufficiently large angle relative to the direction of movement. This solution improved the directional stability on compacted snow and ice. In the shoulder zones, the lamellas are arranged strictly transversely. As a result, the traction force and deceleration intensity increase on slippery surfaces. All these properties are further enhanced by the sinusoidal shape of the slots, which increases the length of the edges formed by them.

Key features of Continental ContiVanContact Ice

- exceptional efficiency on icy surfaces due to studs forming 10 continuous longitudinal rows;
- reliable predictable handling on snow thanks to the original block shape in the central part and the rigidity of the elements at the edges of the tread;
- the multidirectionality and multiplicity of sinusoidal lamellas improve traction and handling on slippery surfaces in any driving mode.
