Continental VanContact A/S Ultra. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Enhanced controllability; Upgraded load durability; Longer-lasting tread life; Fuel-efficient traction; All weather traction; . OVERVIEW: The Continental VanContact A/S Ultra is a highway terrain, all weather tire made for commercial vans.The better road contact also upgrades controllability. The symmetric tread design's road contact enhances the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. This enables the driver's secure control over the vehicle and the tire's exceptional handling. The shoulder block placement upgrades the tire's cornering power, as additional biting edges are provided. The special siping details shorten the braking distance by creating friction. The friction generated ensures the tire's strong stopping ability.This low rolling resistance tire promotes better fuel economy. The special rubber compound lowers the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the external pressure affecting the tire, which determines how much energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The reduced rolling resistance eases the driving pressure of the tires, which decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The tire ensures a fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.The tire promotes secure all weather traction. This is achieved with the detailed tread design and the all weather compound. They work together to provide the necessary number of biting edges for even harsh winter weather applications while keeping the tire pliable in various temperatures. This model can be used even in severe weather conditions. Additionally, circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions. They channel water and slush away from the footprint on wet roads and maintain surface contact at all times.Great load and driving durability are ensured with the tire's reinforced internal structure. Load durability is an important feature that the tire structure offers. The strengthened internal structure is able to withstand and carry larger loads with ease. As the tire keeps its optimal shape, it can safely handle larger loads. This increases the tire's better load capacity.The Continental VanContact A/S Ultra's tread area and compound blend boost its usability. The tire manages to optimize its treadwear rate and manner. Stronger compound elements and the tread's ideal pattern work together to achieve this. They actively resist irregular and premature wear across the tread area. The model manages to evenly circulate driving pressure, preventing pressure accumulation. It also helps to decrease the treadwear rate, offering slower wear.All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year.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.
