If its name evokes images of intense winter battles, it's no coincidence. The Continental VikingContact 7 is specifically engineered to conquer icy and snowy conditions, no matter how harsh the weather may be. Made for Nordic winter driving, this tire establishes a strong connection between you and the road, even when it's covered in snow or coated in ice. With the assistance of canola oil in its tread compound, the VikingContact 7 maintains flexibility and enhances traction, particularly in temperatures below 45 degrees. The tire's advanced winter technology is further exemplified by its intelligent tread design, which includes 3D interlocking sipes. These sipes facilitate superior performance by gripping the road during acceleration and braking and providing precise steering control during cornering. Furthermore, the VikingContact 7 is approved for severe winter weather, as evidenced by its 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating. Its solid linkages and interlocked block bridges ensure responsive control in various road conditions, including dry, wet, and slush-covered roads. Grip Edges on the outside tread blocks also enhance performance in slush and snow by effectively latching onto road surfaces. Additionally, variable-shaped sipes pack snow into the tread pattern, promoting snow-on-snow traction. The VikingContact 7 offers an optimized void-to-tread ratio, thanks to its intelligent tread pattern, which was carefully developed by Continental's engineers. This characteristic not only enhances grip on wintry roads but also ensures confident steering and even weight distribution. Combining this with the stability provided by the interlocking sipes and linked tread blocks creates a durable snow tire that resists uneven treadwear. Although the VikingContact 7 does not come with a mileage warranty, you can protect it from hazardous road conditions with our exclusive Certificates. With coverage from the initial drive down to 3/32" of tread, you can confidently navigate winter roads. If your tire incurs damage that cannot be repaired, we'll replace it with a brand new snow tire. Take advantage of our Certificate coverage by adding it to your order in the cart. Equip your vehicle with the Continental VikingContact 7 and be prepared for any challenges that winter weather may bring.
