Video reviews

"Vikings" from Continental are imprisoned for harsh operating conditions with a predominance of snowy winters and ice on the roads. In the seventh generation, the tyre moved away from the asymmetry in the tread structure and endowed the model with a directional pattern with diamond-shaped blocks in the central segment of the tread.

The guarantors of the stability of the tread blocks were special jumpers that provide stable and predictable behavior of the tyre when cornering. When driving on ice and snow, three-dimensional lamellas in functional blocks form numerous gripping edges and so-called "pockets" to hold snow. The gripping edges created by the sipes act like spikes when driving on slippery road surfaces.

Rubber compound formulation

A network of deep water drainage channels improves driving safety on wet and snowy roads — water and snow slush are removed from the contact patch of the tyre with the roadway under the wheels of the vehicle in the blink of an eye. The elasticity of tyres is maintained at the proper level in a wide temperature range due to the special formulation of the compound with a high content of silica and the inclusion of rapeseed oil.

Leading Lines

According to the results of independent tests of winter tyres, Continental VikingContact 7 confidently takes the lead in the category of friction tyres. The model captivates with stable grip on snowy roads, short braking distances on ice, comfort and low noise. In addition, the release of the tyre is adjusted in a huge variety of dimensions for the rim diameter of automobile wheels from a modest R14 to a rather big R21.
