- Enhanced controllability
- Shorter braking distance
- Longer lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Continental Vanco 2 is a highway terrain, summer tire manufactured for commercial vans.
The special tread pattern and tire compound enhance the tire's summer weather traction and road gripping ability. The model firmly grips the road surface in dry and wet weather. The wide circumferential grooves disperse water from below the footprint and effectively resist hydroplaning situations in this way. The model is not meant to be used in winter weather, as the tire compound will not maintain its excellent traction in colder temperatures.
The constant road contact of the tread pattern enhances the model's controllability. The solid center rib increases the road contact which upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it and its steering response to the driver's instructions is quick and precise. The better steering and stability guarantee a safer and improved handling in summer conditions. The tire's footprint is designed in a way that it adapts to the shape of the road surface during braking. This increases the friction created during braking which shortens the braking distance significantly. The shortened braking time greatly increases the driving security levels.
The special tire compound is made from a high traction rubber compound. It increases the road gripping ability and takes the pressure off the tire. In this manner, it manages to lower the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to maintain the tire's motion. The decreased rolling resistance reduces the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of the vehicle. It also slows down the tread wear rate, allowing the tire to be used for a longer period of time. The tread pattern manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area, preventing irregular wear. The combination of these aspects ensures a fuel efficient and long lasting tire model.
The Vanco 2's reinforced internal structure enables it to carry and withstand heavy loads. The three-layer internal construction increases the load pressure durability by strengthening the tire's structure.
