Technological innovations forsafe winter driving: the ContiWinterViking™ 2.

First asymmetrical studdable tyre:

Asymmetry allows to place performance criteria to specific areas of its ground contact patch. The tire’s performance can therefore be optimized by utilizing the optimum tread pattern and sipe system (specialisation) in the appropriate areas.

Optimised placement of performance criteria:

• Asymmetrical stud positioning
• Specialised sipe types (3D Waffle sipe/sinusoidal sipe)
• Asymmetrical tread pattern design

The asymmetry concept is consistently applied on the ContiWinterViking™ 2,with optimal performance due to the specialised tread pattern design of the tyre. The inner shoulder provides numerous gripping edges that significantly increase the snow grip. The design of the mid and outer section ensure outstanding lateral stability and precise steering.
