Enhanced traction and handling on snow thanks to a new tread concept with a high number of block edges and snow chains in longitudinal grooves.For a strong grip in snow, the longitudinal grooves within the inner tread are equipped with snow chains, which create an interlocking effect and increase snow friction. Thanks to a high number of snow traction ori-ented blocks and multi-edge sipes, the new ContiVikingContact™ 6 comes with safer snow handling.

Significantly improved ice grip due to a homogenous positive-negative distribution with an optimal amount of sipe edges.The middle area of the tread, with its particular distribution of sipes in the tread blocks, interlocks safely with icy roads. When braking on ice, a thin layer of water, the so-called “liquid layer”, can be observed in the contact area under the tyre. Due to a wiping effect, an optimum amount of sipe edges is formed so as to reduce the liquid layer and prevent the floating of the tyre.

Adaptive Twin Block Technology for excellent road grip and handling on dry roads.While cornering on dry surfaces, the stiff double blocks on the outside of the tyre offer high grip and in-creased lateral stiffness. The blocks support each other and therefore achieve maximum stability.

Get the most out of winter.For passenger cars and for SUVs.Excellent handling performance on snow, ice and dry roads thanks to Divided Tread Technology (DTT).The asymmetrical pattern layout of Divided Tread Technology (DTT) offers the possibility of placing functional elements at pattern positions where they are most efficient. The result: enhanced performance on snow, ice and dry roads.
