continental vancontact a/s ultra – durable all-season tire for vans

The Continental VanContact A/S Ultra is a premium all-season tire specially developed for vans and commercial vehicles. The model's main strengths are its long service life, reinforced sidewalls, low rolling resistance and solid grip in various weather conditions. The tire is particularly well suited for intensive daily use, including freight and courier services.

reinforced sidewalls – greater durability

vancontact a/s ultra uses a special reinforced sidewall construction, with thicker, brick-shaped rubber blocks that help protect the tire from mechanical damage.
An additional protective strip around the sidewall reduces the risk of damage from kerbs. This is particularly important in urban traffic, where vans often have to park and manoeuvre in tight spaces.

snow catchers – better grip on snow

The tire's tread pattern uses snow catchers technology, with special transverse grooves that collect snow in the tread. The snow effectively grips the snow, helping to improve traction and braking on snowy roads.
The tread pattern design supports stable handling even in winter weather conditions, providing confidence both in the city and on the highway.

smart 3D sipes – stable handling

Smart 3D sipes technology uses three-dimensional cuts that form additional gripping edges while helping to maintain the rigidity of the tread blocks.
This improves the tire's stability during braking and changes of direction and supports controlled driving behavior on dry, wet and snowy road surfaces.

updated rubber compound – long service life

Continental has developed an advanced rubber compound for the Vancontact A/S Ultra, which contains functionalized polymers. This helps to increase the tire's wear resistance and reduce rolling resistance.
The optimized design and rubber compound allow for high mileage while maintaining the necessary grip properties.
Lower rolling resistance can help reduce a vehicle's fuel consumption or electricity consumption, which is especially important for commercial vehicles with high annual mileage.

3pmsf – suitability for snowy conditions

Continental VanContact A/S Ultra carries the 3pmsf winter marking , which confirms the tire's compliance with snow grip requirements.
Special grooves and gripping edges in the tread support driving characteristics on snowy roads, while water-discharging grooves help reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
The tire is suitable for year-round use, especially in moderate winter conditions. For long-term driving in severe frost and icy roads, a special Nordic winter tire is a more suitable choice.

a practical choice for high-mileage commercial vehicles

The Continental VanContact A/S Ultra is designed for drivers and companies who need a durable, economical, all-year-round van tire.
Reinforced sidewalls, a wear-resistant rubber compound and a tread pattern adapted to winter conditions help reduce the need to change tires and support vehicle reliability.
Continental VanContact A/S Ultra combines a long service life, high durability and balanced all-year-round driving characteristics, offering a high-quality solution for intensive commercial vehicle use.
