Continental WinterContact SI
This model is a studless tire developed for the drivers of coupes, luxury sedans, family minivans, and premium crossover vehicles who are looking for enhanced traction on cold, wet, snow-covered, and icy roads. According to customers' reviews, this model is the ultimate winter tire with a powerful grip in rain, snow and even ice.
The WinterContact SI comes with innovative PolarPlus Technology combined with Continental's +Silane additives designed to provide a significant improvement in terms of grip, traction, and hydroplaning. This model has a special tread compound molded into a directional tread design combined with high-density multi-angled zigzag sipes added to increase the number of the tread surface's snow biting edges thus improving traction on snow and icy surfaces.
For safety reasons this model comes with a winter tread depth indicator molded into the tread design which lets the driver know that the remaining tread is approximately 50 percent worn.
The Traction Groove Technology base-of-the-groove ridges provide additional 3D snow-biting edges to improve braking traction in deep snow. This model is available from 15 to 20-inch sizes with a limited tread life warranty.
