The high performance of the Continental VancoWinterContact commercial winter tire is due to the fact that its design uses only those solutions that have already been tested on other models and have proven their effectiveness in real operating conditions. For this reason, it demonstrates not only excellent traction on snowy and icy roads, but also good fuel efficiency and a long service life.
Increased traction on winter roads
The tread pattern of this model is characterized by a fairly open design. It consists of many separate blocks arranged in such a way that during movement, they form very long traction edges that stretch across the entire tread. Along with the significant width of the drainage grooves between them, this allows the tire to demonstrate excellent traction properties on snow.
As for traction on icy surfaces, it is ensured by the effectiveness of the numerous lamellas. In total, they form several thousand traction edges. At the same time, all of them are located almost at a right angle to the direction of movement, which improves longitudinal traction properties, and their wavy walls, limiting the transverse mobility of the blocks, improve handling not only on ice but also on other smooth surfaces.
Long service life
Unlike other Continental winter tires, the tread of this model contains blocks of increased size, and its profile is almost flat, with virtually no curvature. The combination of such design features makes the distribution of external pressure on the contact patch very even. On the one hand, this increases the service life of the tread, and on the other hand, it increases the tire's load-carrying capacity and improves its handling.
Key features of the Continental VancoWinterContact tire
- an open tread design with numerous blocks and several thousand lamellas provides the tire with excellent performance on any winter roads;
- a reinforced construction with a steel breaker, a flat tread profile, and increased block sizes increase the tire's service life, as well as its reliability and load-carrying capacity.
