Summer and winter tires for vans, mobile homes and transport vehicles:
|
06/08/2004 Vanco Tires From Continental (Hanover/Essen, June 2004) Continental has two summer tire models capable of satisfying highest demands in van and transport vehicle applications: the VancoContact and the Vanco. Whereas the VancoContact was developed for vans with car-like driving capabilities, the Vanco is a tire for heavy-service transport vehicles, and is also available in a 10-PR version with particularly high load carrying capacity. Both models are sold in a wide variety of sizes. The assortment of winter tires for vans is similar, with the VancoWinterContact being designed for the category of small transport vehicles and the VancoWinter for heavy vehicles. In addition, the VancoFourSeason is an ideal all-year tire fitment. Here you can download the press release as a rtf-file (126 KB). |

Small transport vehicles are best driven on VancoContact tires The VancoContact tire was devised for comfortable, small transport vehicles based on passenger car designs. The key advantages of this tire are noticeable not only in long-distance driving: Thanks to a special rubber mix, this tire gives excellent fuel economy and good braking performance in the wet. In the prevention of aquaplaning, its ultra-high-drainage tread geometry does a fine job, with straight circumferential grooves and wide cross-grooves ensuring rapid water dispersion. Decoupled tread blocks are one of the characteristics of the VancoContact ensuring an even wear pattern. Comfort is guaranteed by the unbroken center bands plus high-venting fine cross-grooves delivering precise steering response and reduced tire/road noise. The range of sizes for the VancoContact is impressive. Here you can download or order the picture from the VancoContact ... |

Vanco – the tire for heavy-service vans, mobile homes and transport vehicles The high-mileage Vanco has proven its worth in the medium and heavy service category of vans, mobile homes and transport vehicles. Due to the round contour of its contact patch, this tire delivers outstanding wet grip as well as good water dispersion for optimum aquaplaning resistance. When designing the Vanco, Continental's tire specialists engineered its tread blocks with noise comfort in mind. The blocks hit the road at a slanted angle, reducing tire/road noise and therefore making the ride less noisy for vehicle occupants. A solid scuff rib serves to protect the tire's sidewalls from being damaged by the kerbstones when vans are making deliveries in the city. For transport vehicles and mobile homes with a higher payload, the Vanco is also sold in 10-PR versions. Here you can download or order the picture from the Vanco ... |

VancoWinterContact and VancoWinter: Safe in the cold and wet, safe on snow and ice Continental offers two different winter tire models for vans and transport vehicles: The VancoWinterContact was designed for vehicles based on passenger car concepts. Its specialty is ultra-high traction on cold and wet roads, as well as on snow and ice. At the same time it delivers the same standard of comfort and handling performance as winter tires for passenger cars. Continental has included the VancoWinter in its range to cater for heavier service transport vehicles. This tire combines superb traction and reliable braking properties on snow and ice with good resistance to aquaplaning. The VancoWinter has been features a thick scuff rib to protect its sidewalls in case it comes into contact with the kerbstone.

VancoFourSeason: High-traction tire for heavy service mobile homes and transport vehicles Mobile homes offer a high level of comfort, good handling convenience and flexibility on vacation and weekend trips. The market trend is pointing increasingly to higher engine capacities and comfortable interiors, a trend demanding new solutions in the choice of tire fitment. After all, not only the speeds of the mobile homes are increasing, but their weight also. Therefore Continental is offering its VancoFourSeason tire in the 10-PR category as well, which, depending on the size, can carry loads of up to 1.45 tonnes. Approved for speeds up to 170 km/h, the VancoFourSeason is suitable as a high-traction tire for the driven axle or as an all-round tire for all-season applications.
