Continental ContiVanContact Viking 215/70 R15C 109/107R

The commercial tire Continental ContiVanContact Viking is designed for light commercial vehicles and buses. It stands out with its excellent efficiency on wet, icy, and snowy roads, as well as its long service life in the most challenging operating conditions.

Short braking distance on any winter road surface

The tread pattern of the tire features an open design with a symmetrical non-directional arrangement of elements, with a significant portion of them being large blocks. The transverse edges formed by these blocks have a large extent, which, in combination with the increased tread depth, guarantees efficiency when braking on snow. On dry asphalt, this property is fully preserved due to the large size of the blocks, which increases the area of the tread in contact with the road surface. On ice, the effectiveness of deceleration is provided by the numerous transverse edges formed by sinusoidal lamellas, with several such slots in each block.

Increased service life and stability of traction properties

In the side projection, the tread pattern of the tire has an extremely small curvature. Under the influence of the weight of the vehicle and the cargo it carries, this solution allows the area of the tread in contact with the road surface to be significantly increased. At the same time, it takes on a practically square shape, ensuring an even distribution of load on the road surface. As a result, the traction properties not only increase but also become more stable, and the level of abrasive impact is significantly reduced, thereby increasing the service life of the tire.

Effective traction and stability on snowy and icy roads

The tread compound used in the production of the tire features a rubber mixture whose properties have been specially selected with regard to the operation of light commercial vehicles in winter conditions. In particular, the compound includes silicone-containing substances that provide the tread with elasticity at extremely low temperatures. Special polymers at the molecular level increase its strength against rupture and stretching, which has a positive effect on the reliability of the tire, especially during prolonged driving at high speeds.

Key features of Continental ContiVanContact Viking

- excellent deceleration efficiency on any winter road surface due to the significant extent and height of the blocks, as well as the presence of numerous lamellas;
- increased service life and stability of traction properties ensured by the optimized profile of the tread pattern;
- high traction force and stability on winter roads due to the design of the tread pattern and the properties of the rubber compound, which remain consistent over a very wide temperature range.
