Continental ContiVikingContact 7 205/60 R16 96T

In the seventh generation of "Vikings" from Continental, they abandoned the asymmetric tread structure in favor of a directional symmetrical "arrangement" of functional blocks. Checkers in the central zone of the tread pattern of the model form a diamond-shaped pattern. Between themselves, they are connected by jumper bridges, which is done for the sake of precise reactions to steering commands, as well as increasing the stability of grip properties during lane changes and cornering.

Three-dimensional sipes in the tread blocks form a huge number of sharp gripping edges and play the role of “pockets” for snow capture. As a result, the Continental ContiVikingContact 7 205/60 R16 96T demonstrates increased traction and shorter stopping distances on icy road surfaces. Uniform distribution of pressure over the area of the contact spot prevents uneven wear of the tread blocks and prolongs the life of the tyre as a whole.

The water drainage system of the tyre does not contain the usual circumferential channels, however, with its direct duties of instantaneous drainage of water and melted snow, it handles with a solid "five". The elasticity of tyres is maintained in a wide temperature range of the outside air due to the special formulation of the compound with a high content of silica and the inclusion of rapeseed oil. The tyre maintains tight traction in all weather conditions in harsh winter climates.
