The sixth place among the popular winter tires 2007, took Tyre - Continental ContiWinterViking 2. Compared with its predecessor, the bus ContiWinterViking 1 new tire has improved handling on dry roads at 2%, grip and control on snow and by 2%, and rates of acceleration and braking on ice - even at 4%. These results are based on the number of stages of technical development, nashedschih embodied in the bus Conti Winter Viking 2.
New tread
the first time, studded tires used an asymmetrical pattern that is in many ways improves sliding properties.
For example, located on the outer arm connected lamellas reduce lateral slip, while the separate elements of the lugs on the outer shoulder provides better manageability while increasing traction in the snow.
The structure of the inside of the tread significantly improves grip on the snow thanks to more efficient faces. Located in the middle of the tread durable edge provides increased rigidity of the tread pattern and results in improved response vehicle on the steering.
Thus achieved, in addition to all, reducing wear and tear, ie, higher mileage tire. Going in a circle parallel to the longitudinal grooves improve the performance of resistance to aquaplaning - the water and snow-water gruel faster and in greater volume are ejected.
Sheep diamond for optimized traction
New ship-diamond through an elongated faces and the optimal location on the tread strongly enhances the strength and provides a significant reduction in braking distance on ice.
This shows the spike compared with the usual round-spike increase braking performance on ice at 11%. Material of high hardness and shape of a new spike and the whole long life of the spike will provide a safe ride in the winter.
A new concept of rubber for Nordic conditions: Nordic Silica - with silicon content. The rubber also sets a new horizon. For the first time offered to the consumer winter tire, the rubber which is only highly active carbon black and innovative silicon polymer, it also gives additional improvement of adhesion to wet, icy and snowy roads.
