Supplied by mytyres.co.uk. These are the retailer’s product claims, not independent test findings from Tyres Compared.
Premium softcompound tire to explore the Nordic winter with confidence even in the most challenging conditions. When winters many faces prove unpredictable, this tyre will tackle them safely. The VikingContact 8 is engineered to safely perform no matter the challenge it faces – be it wet, ice, slush, snow or a combination. This is possible due to our latest pattern evolution including 3D-sipes, snow edges and three-layer-sipes in the shoulder area. In addition, the latest Nordic compound technology prepares the tyre for any winter temperature. When the winter journey lasts longer, this tyre ensures that you reach your destination. The VikingContact 8’s robust and energy efficient construction encourages a greater battery range and less fuel consumption thanks to a reduction in rolling resistance. This is further supported by our next generation tread compound, which ensures less tyre deformation & results in much reduced energy loss. When winter outside is stormy, this tyre provides you quiet moments. The VikingContact 8 offers superior driving comfort. Experience less noise achieved by an enhanced pattern concept that optimizes the interaction between the tire footprint and lateral grooves. Especially, this comfort extends to electric vehicles also, with reduced noise levels at all speeds and an “A” noise rating for all tyre sizes. We make you ready for e-mobility. Our EV-compatible symbol confirms that the tire meets the requirements of electric vehicles as well as cars with combustion or hybrid engines..
