The VanContact Winter is Continental's Light Truck/SUV Studless Ice & Snow winter tire developed for drivers of vans, delivery trucks and multi-purpose vehicles capable of transporting heavy loads. The VanContact Winter is designed to increase wintertime traction, while simultaneously handling the demanding conditions of modern commercial vehicles.The VanContact Winter is made to support the heavy loads encountered by commercial vehicles and provide the dry, wet and snow performance needed for variable winter conditions. The VanContact's durable winter compound is molded into a directional tread pattern focused on increasing traction in snow, ice and other winter weather conditions. Wide circumferential and lateral grooves evacuate the slush and water, helping to reduce hydroplaning and maintain stability on wet and wintery road conditions. 3D sipes molded into the tread help retain block rigidity, while providing biting edges for wet and snow traction. The optimized contact patch helps evenly distribute the pressure across the tire's footprint, intended to increase treadlife and fuel economy. Dry traction and stability are aided by tie-bars in all four ribs that bolster reinforced tread blocks. The VanContact Winter is built on a robust Euro-metric Commercial or Light Truck tire casing and utilizes a reinforced sidewall design for added scuff protection.The VanContact Winter tire meets the industry's severe snow service requirements and is branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.Install VanContact Winter tires in sets of four only.
