If you think of harsh battles in the unforgiving winter conditions, you're not wrong. The Continental VikingContact 7 is specifically designed to help you conquer ice and snow, no matter how extreme the weather becomes. Supported by years of acclaimed German engineering, the VikingContact 7 establishes a secure connection between you and the road, even when it's covered in snow or ice. Crafted for reliable performance in the coldest winter weather, the VikingContact 7 incorporates canola oil in its tread compound, which enables it to remain flexible and provide better grip on the road when the temperature drops below 45 degrees. But the advanced winter technology doesn't end there! Featuring an intelligent tread design with interlocking sipes, the tire's tread blocks penetrate and grip onto ice and snow when accelerating and braking. When turning, the sipes interlock to stabilize the tread blocks, offering precise steering control in any road condition. Other performance features of the VikingContact 7 include: - Approved for severe winter weather, backed by the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating. - Solid linkages and interlocked block bridges maintain tread rigidity without compromising grooves, ensuring responsive control on dry, wet, and slush-covered roads. - Grip Edges on the outer tread blocks create a larger contact patch and enhance performance on slush and snow. - Variable-shaped sipes pack snow into the tread pattern, providing excellent traction on snow-covered roads. Thanks to the intelligently designed tread pattern by Continental engineers, the VikingContact 7 boasts an optimized void-to-tread ratio. This not only provides exceptional grip on wintry roads but also ensures confident steering and even weight distribution. Combined with the stability offered by the interlocking sipes and linked tread blocks, this snow tire resists uneven treadwear, delivering reliable performance for countless winters.
