The Continental VanContactWinter 215/60 R17C 104/102H 6PR 3PMSF is a winter tyre designed for commercial vehicles. The optimised tread improves braking distance to reduce the risk of hydroplaning on wet, snowy or icy surfaces. Long tyre life thanks to a rugged design.

An optimized profile design provides the tire with a closer contact with the snow, resulting in greater friction, leading to shortened braking distances. The grooves and shoulder blocks significantly increase the crushing of snow crystals captured in the design, enhancing grip as well as traction on snowy ground.

The VanContactWinter has wide ribs allowing for rapid and optimal water drainage, greatly reducing the risks of aquaplaning. The enhanced stability of the tire induced by 3D sipes ensures a significant reduction in braking distances on wet ground.
