Continental VancoVikingContact 2 225/70 R15C 112/110R

In developing the Continental VancoVikingContact 2 winter commercial tire, the specialists of the German company had to make a considerable effort to make this model surpass its popular predecessor. They were able to do this by using a number of original technical solutions and the latest materials in its design. This made it possible to provide it with very high operational characteristics, primarily excellent traction on any winter surface.

Original central tread design

The tread of this model contains many individual blocks. The choice of their shape, size, and location is due to the functions that are performed by one or another part of the tread pattern. The most notable in this regard is the design of its central part. It consists of two rows of blocks, the shape of which is close to rectangular. These tread elements have rounded corners and curved transverse faces. Such a design allows them to perform several important functions at once. First of all, these are increased traction properties on snow. At the same time, the arrangement of the traction edges at an angle and the rounded corners significantly reduce the level of noise and rolling resistance.

Open shoulder areas

In turn, the shoulder areas are distinguished by more angular and rectangular blocks, which are arranged transversely. The combination of such design features provides the tire with increased stability and traction when maneuvering, as well as excellent efficiency when braking, especially on slippery roads.

Key features of Continental VancoVikingContact 2

- the original block design in the central part of the tread improves longitudinal traction on snow, while providing reduced rolling resistance and noise level;
- open shoulder areas with many rectangular blocks increase stability when maneuvering, traction when braking;
- several thousand lamellas provide reliable and stable traction and handling on ice.
