Tire specifications
DescriptionDescription Continental VancoContact
The Continental VancoContact summer commercial tire cannot be attributed to the novelties of the well-known German manufacturer. Nevertheless, it looks very advantageous against the background of most of its more modern competitors. This is due to the effectiveness of the technologies used in its design, which provide this model with relevant technical characteristics even in our time.
Rigid shoulder blocks
One of the characteristic features of this model is its excellent handling and stability when maneuvering. This ability is largely provided due to the design of the shoulder areas, which occupy a significant part of the tread area. They contain a large number of transverse blocks of rectangular shape, differing in a profile with a variable curvature. All these design features, on the one hand, give this part of the tread increased rigidity, and on the other hand, increase the contact patch, ensuring its stability in shape and size.
Reliable traction on wet roads and when braking
Another distinctive feature of the tread design of this tire is the presence of a large number of traction edges. Most of them are formed by numerous straight lamellas, located both in the transverse and longitudinal directions. When driving on wet roads, as well as when accelerating and braking, these miniature tread elements give the traction properties reliability and stability.
Double longitudinal rib in the center
When driving at high speed, this model demonstrates fast and accurate responses to steering wheel turns, which is not too typical for modern commercial tires. This feature appeared due to the design of the central part of the tread, where a double longitudinal rib with a very rigid continuous structure is located. In addition to the responsiveness of the steering, this tread element significantly optimizes the distribution of external pressure on the contact patch, making it uniform. In turn, this led to an increase in resistance to uneven wear and an extension of the tire's service life.
Key features of Continental VancoContact
- excellent handling and reliability when maneuvering due to the rigid design of the shoulder areas of the tread;
- reduced braking distance, stability of traction properties on wet roads is ensured by the effective operation of numerous lamellas;
- the double longitudinal rib in the center improves the responsiveness of the steering, increases resistance to uneven wear, reduces rolling resistance;
- excellent resistance to aquaplaning due to the wide longitudinal drainage grooves, which ensure rapid water removal.

Just tires
Were standing when buying the bus. Up to half worn tread, in almost all parameters, you can put an excellent rating. BUT! as soon as the wear exceeds half - it's a disaster! It starts making noise after 90, brakes terribly on wet roads, and when the bus is empty, it poorly holds the road.
