Conti Viking Contact 6 SSR: See winter in a new light

For passenger cars and for SUVs

Engineered in Germany, Continental offers premium tyres with optimum braking performance and safety. Enhanced traction and handling on snow thanks to new tread concept with a high number of block edges and snow chains in longitudinal grooves.

Excellent handling performance on snow, ice and dry roads.

By making the most out of its elements, the ContiVikingContact 6™ offers enhanced performance on snow, ice and dry roads.

Enhanced traction and handling on snow.

Thanks to its design, the new ContiVikingContact™ 6 comes with safer snow handling.

Significantly improved ice grip.

The middle area of the tyre interlocks safely with icy roads. When braking on ice, the thin layer of water which forms is wiped off, thus preventing the floating of the tyre.

Excellent road grip and handling on dry roads.

While cornering on dry surfaces, the tyre offers high grip and increased lateral stiffness, therefore achieving maximum stability.

SSR – The self supporting runflat tire

With SSR tires you remain mobile in the event of a flat tire.

The SSR system is a runflat technology developed by Continental especially for low section tires, which still keeps the tires compatible with all standard rims.

  • Drive up to 80 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h in the event of puncture
  • No spare wheel necessary
  • Compatible with conventional rims
  • Fuel efficient (weight of 4 SSR tyres < 5 standard tyres)

The SSR system is a runflat technology developed by Continental especially for low section tires, which still keeps the tires compatible with all standard rims.

The SSR principle is based on a self-supporting reinforced sidewall. In case of a puncture, this prevents the sidewall from being crushed between the rim and the road, and the tire from slipping off the rim, which makes a spare tire obsolete. Not having to carry a spare tire means a reduction in weight, which improves fuel efficiency. It also adds up to 80 litres of free space in the trunk. Fitting on four positions is highly recommended, if not yet mandatory by law and a tire repair is not allowed.

Technical requirements:

  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) mandatory
  • Electronic Stability Control (ESC) recommended

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.

Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.

The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.

Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
