If the tire’s name evokes images of intense battles in harsh winter conditions, it’s not a coincidence. The Continental VikingContact 7 is specifically designed to help you conquer icy and snowy roads, no matter how challenging the weather may be. Engineered to tackle Nordic winter driving conditions, the Continental VikingContact 7 establishes a secure connection between you and the road surface, even when it’s covered in snow or ice. Benefiting from years of renowned German engineering, this tire offers dependable performance in extremely cold temperatures. Its tread compound contains canola oil, which keeps it flexible and enhances its grip on the road when the temperature falls below 45 degrees. However, the advanced winter technology of the VikingContact 7 doesn't stop there. The tire features an intelligent tread design with 3D interlocking sipes. When accelerating and braking, the tread blocks open up and grip onto ice and snow. During cornering, the sipes lock together, providing stability to the tread blocks and ensuring precise steering control, no matter the road conditions. Some other notable performance features of the VikingContact 7 include its approval for severe winter weather with the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating, solid linkages and interlocked block bridges that maintain tread rigidity without compromising grooves for responsive control on dry, wet, and slush-covered roads, Grip Edges on the outer tread blocks that increase contact patch size and enhance performance in slush and snow, and variable-shaped sipes that pack snow into the tread pattern, providing snow-on-snow traction. Thanks to the intelligent tread pattern designed by Continental's engineers, the VikingContact 7 has an optimized void-to-tread ratio, ensuring a potent grip on wintry roads, confident steering, and even weight distribution. Moreover, the interlocking sipes and linked tread blocks offer added stability and resist uneven treadwear, resulting in reliable performance throughout multiple winters. While the Continental VikingContact 7 doesn't come with a mileage warranty, you can safeguard it from hazardous road conditions with our exclusive Certificates. These certificates cover your tire from the first drive until it reaches a tread depth of 3/32''. With this coverage, you can confidently navigate winter roads. In case of tire damage that cannot be repaired, we will provide you with a brand new replacement tire. Prepare your vehicle for all the challenges that winter weather may bring by equipping it with the Continental VikingContact 7.
