Continental VikingContact 7 Tires
The Continental VikingContact 7 is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The solid linkage and the ideal interlocking block bridges along the tread area stabilize the footprint. This enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the footprint, effectively preventing irregular wear formations. As a result, the tire increases the usability.
The canola oil and silica compound and the detailed symmetric tread design increase the winter weather grip on the road surface. The optimal compound blend optimizes the rubber flexibility in colder, winter weather temperatures, while the high-density siping placement firmly grips the road surface with additional biting edges. The tread’s groove network resists hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint.
The Continental VikingContact 7 increases the controllability. The stabilized footprint keeps the road contact while the tires are in motion, which boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the tire is able to upgrade the driver’s better control over the vehicle throughout its performance. The shoulder block placement with the siping placement enhances the cornering power. These elements optimize the surface grip during maneuvering, guaranteeing a secure cornering capability. The high-density versatile 3D Trapez Siped and the special snow edge tread elements boost the braking power. These elements generate friction to reduce the tread wear rate, offering a secure braking on ice- and snow-covered surfaces.
