If you think of intense battles in harsh winter conditions, the Continental VikingContact 7 tire is purposefully designed to help you conquer ice and snow, no matter the severity of the weather. Created for Nordic winter driving, this tire establishes a strong connection between you and the road, even in snowy or icy conditions. Its tread compound contains canola oil, ensuring flexibility and excellent traction in temperatures below 45 degrees. Furthermore, the VikingContact 7 features an intelligent tread design with 3D interlocking sipes. These sipes enable the tread blocks to grip into ice and snow during acceleration and braking, and lock together while cornering, enhancing steering precision regardless of the road conditions. Additionally, the tire has the approval for severe winter weather with its 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating. To ensure rigid stability without compromising its grooves, the tread is equipped with solid linkages and interlocked block bridges, providing responsive control on dry, wet, and slush-covered roads. The outside tread blocks feature Grip Edges, which attach to the road surface, resulting in a larger contact patch and improved performance in slush and snow. Additionally, variable-shaped sipes gather snow within the tread pattern, creating effective snow-on-snow traction. The optimized void-to-tread ratio of the VikingContact 7, along with its interlocking sipes and linked tread blocks, delivers confident steering, even weight distribution, and resistance to uneven treadwear. Although this tire does not come with a mileage warranty, Certificates are available to protect it from hazardous road conditions. These Certificates provide coverage from the first drive until the tread wears down to 3/32’’. In the event of tire damage, a new replacement will be provided if repair is not possible. To add this coverage, simply include it in your order's cart. Prepare your vehicle for winter challenges by equipping it with the reliable Continental VikingContact 7 tire.
