For over 150 years, Continental’s rampant horse and bright orange labels have indicated Germany’s contribution to the worldwide tire market. Whether the company is producing racing tires admire its ContiSportContact 2 Vmax, a road tire approved for speeds over 220 mph, or producing environmental breakthroughs admire using Russian dandelions as an alternative to natural rubber, Continental has chosen innovation over complacency.
Continental’s snow tire lines show how that innovation is implemented. Continental’s VikingContact snow tires feature the company’s PolarPlus Technology, keeping tire treads flexible even in cold temperatures. Multiple sipes, grooves, and snow edges advance slush and water off the tire while also providing improved grip and traction. The company’s WinterContact tires, a high-performance line, are also very highly regarded, with reviews highlighting the tires’ low noise, incredible snow traction, and good performance on the ice.
Surprisingly, Continental offers roadside assistance, a 60-day trial, and a limited warranty with the purchase of its snow tires. Of course, the tires also feature the 3-Peak Mountain Snow Flake symbol, independently approving them for winter performance.
