The Continental VikingContact 7 is specifically designed to tackle harsh winter conditions. With its strong connection between the tire and the road, it provides reliable traction on snowy and icy surfaces. The tread compound includes canola oil to ensure flexibility and enhance grip in temperatures below 45 degrees. The tire's intelligent tread design features 3D interlocking sipes that excel in different scenarios. While accelerating and braking, the tread blocks open up to bite into ice and snow. During cornering, the sipes lock together, providing stability for precise steering control. The VikingContact 7 is certified for severe winter weather and is equipped with solid linkages and interlocked block bridges for responsive control on dry, wet, and slush-covered roads. The tire's Grip Edges on the outside tread blocks further enhance performance in slush and snow by creating a larger contact patch with the road surface. The variable-shaped sipes efficiently pack snow into the tread pattern, resulting in exceptional snow-on-snow traction. In terms of treadwear and warranty, the VikingContact 7 boasts an optimized void-to-tread ratio. This design, along with the interlocking sipes and linked tread blocks, contributes to even weight distribution and confident steering. While it does not come with a mileage warranty, Certificates are available to protect against hazardous road conditions. These Certificates cover any damage and offer a replacement tire if necessary. Prepare your vehicle for winter challenges by equipping it with the reliable Continental VikingContact 7.
