Continental VikingContact 7 225/55R16XL 99T BSW 03450360000

Features and Benefits: Winter weather traction; Longer lasting usability; Enhanced controllability; Continental VikingContact 7 TiresThe Continental VikingContact 7 is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire improves the winter weather performing safety. The canola oil and silica compound works together with the detail... moreed symmetric tread pattern in order to boost the winter weather, ice, and snow traction. The compound blend helps to maintain the tire's rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, optimizing the rubber flexibility in freezing weather conditions. The high-density siping placement increases the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges, optimizing the ice and snow traction throughout the performance. The tread pattern's ideal groove network avoids hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. The tread design's versatile elements secure the footprint's stability. The tread's solid linkages and the ideal interlocking block bridges stabilize the tread elements and prevent tread flexing while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the tire is able to evenly spread the driving pressure out across the tread area, which effectively avoids irregular and premature wear formations. The ensured even wear along the footprint guarantees the tire's lengthened usability and tread life. The Continental VikingContact 7 increases the handling with the optimized tread elements. The stable footprint helps to keep the tire's road contact at all times, which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire is faster and more precise in its steering response, while its structure is secured against the driving pressure. The detailed shoulder block pattern enables the tire to firmly grip the road surface during maneuvering, greatly improving the cornering capability. The high-density versatile 3D Trapez Sipe and snow edge patterns work together to optimize the braking power. They generate friction at the moment of braking, shortening the overall braking distance. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
