Continental VancoFourSeason. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Continental VancoFourSeason is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for light trucks and commercial vehicles. This model offers a versatile application, as it was made in both light truck (LT) and commercial vehicle (C) sizes. However, the load index and maximum inflation pressure must always be matched with the needs of the vehicle. Commercial and light truck vehicle sizes cannot be mixed.The model promotes great all weather traction. The symmetric ribbed pattern, with the optimal siping detail, and the all season tire compound enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road grip. The tread's interlocking block pattern and siping detail ensure a consistent firm grip on the road surface throughout the year, while the compound keeps its flexibility even in colder temperatures. The tread's constant road contact enhances the year round performing capability. The model avoids hydroplaning with wide circumferential grooves. They disperse water and slush from beneath the tire's footprint, guaranteeing a safer wet and winter weather road gripping ability.The tire enhances its controllability. The ribbed pattern with the interconnecting blocks closely follows the road surface, which improves the road contact. In this manner, the tire increases its steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The model's internal structure is also reinforced. The strengthened structure maintains the optimal tire shape under the driving and load pressure. As a result, the shape does not deform under the pressure, increasing the model's load carrying and withstanding capability.The VancoFourSeason improves the tread life and usability significantly. The tire avoids uneven tread wear formations thanks to the optimal road contact and the stronger internal structure. The symmetric ribbed pattern's road contact manages to equally spread the driving pressure out across the tread area. The durable structure stabilizes the tread elements and resists tread flexing, which upgrades the length of the tread and service life. 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.
