Continental has launched a new tire designed for light commercial vehicles. According to the tire maker, the new summer model Continental VanContact Eco offers «impressively high mileage, delivers precise handling and short braking distances on wet and dry roads», as well as lower rolling resistance than its predecessor’s ContiVanContact 200.

Continental does have grounds for making such statements: six out of seven manufactured sizes of the models refer to Class A in accordance with the European grading system, both in terms of their grip on wet surfaces, and their fuel efficiency.

VanContact Eco — a new fuel-efficient tire from the Continental range

The Continental VanContact Eco tires are available in seven sizes with fitting diameters from 15 to 17 inches, from 215/65 R15 104/102T to 215/60 R17 109/107T.
