Attention! Due to the size of the tires, Packages might be SEPARATED in the courier facility and not be DELIVERED on the SAME DAY, even though we do ship them together. Tracking information can be checked by logging on to the courier website with the master tracking number you will receive via email. For example, you can receive 3 tires in one day and the 4th one the next day or the day after, or one tire in one day and the second one day after. We understand that this is a big inconvenience for our buyers, however, this is ABSOLUTELY out of our control.

Continental VikingContact 8 Tires

The Continental VikingContact 8 is a touring, winter tire designed for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This tire is suitable for electric vehicles.

This tire promotes improved controllability due to the tread design’s consistent surface contact. The symmetric tread design’s road contact enhances the tire’s steering responsiveness and driving stability. This enables the driver’s secure control over the vehicle and the tire’s exceptional handling. The shoulder block placement upgrades the tire’s cornering power, as additional biting edges are provided. The three-layer sipe design shortens the braking distance by creating friction. The result is a shorter stopping distance, even in harsh winter conditions.

This tire also promotes exceptional winter weather performance. This tread pattern maintains road contact at all times, while the winter compound keeps the rubber soft and flexible in cold temperatures. These elements work together to upgrade the tire’s performance on snow- and ice-covered surfaces. At the same time, the optimal grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint, resisting hydroplaning in the process. As such, the tire can safely perform in winter conditions.

This tire also offers a longer-lasting tread life. The ideal tread design works with the durable compound to effectively provide slow and even wear. Footprint stability maintains surface contact and helps prevent tread flexing. As a result, the tire avoids irregular wear by preventing pressure accumulation along the tread area. On the other hand, strong compound elements offer wear resistance, decreasing the treadwear rate. This combination greatly boosts the tire’s overall tread life length.

The model offers high driving comfort levels. The tread block placement enables the tire to channel airwaves through the footprint, without allowing them to interact with the tread elements. As a result, the tread elements do not generate sound waves, which guarantees a comfortable drive. As road disturbances do not ruin the passengers’ driving enjoyment, the tire is able to promote a quiet performance.

The Continental VikingContact 8 offers excellent fuel efficiency. The ideal tread pattern is able to lower the rolling resistance throughout the performance. The tread elements optimize the tire's traction, which lowers the rolling resistance as a result. The rolling resistance is a force that determines how much energy is needed to keep the tires in motion, and decreasing it reduces the vehicle's fuel intake and CO2 emissions. In other words, this tire offers a fuel-efficient and eco-friendly driving experience.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
