Continental ContiCrossContact Winter is a winter tyre designed for 4WD cars. The model is excellent for off-road trips thanks to its symmetrical tread of optimised construction. It is responsible for full performance, ensuring good grip regardless the weather.
Large blocks on the outer side of the tread transfer the load, stabilising the driving both on straight roads and during dynamic manoeuvres. The new, progressive system of sipes, used in this tyre gives better traction in the snow and the increased number of edges guarantees very good grip and provides optimum performance on all types of winter surfaces. Tread blocks have stepped sipes that prevent catching stones and stabilise the tread blocks. The directional tread also provides excellent protection against aquaplaning. Wide circumferential channels efficiently remove water, while optimised grooves on the tread shoulder ensure excellent traction. The model is based on a rubber blend with excellent traction. Thanks to this, the tyre is resistant to mechanical damage and fast wear. Continental ContiCrossContact Winter is the perfect solution for demanding drivers who not only expect maximum performance and comfort, but also safety regardless of weather conditions.
