Continental has launched the VanContact Eco, a new light commercial vehicle tyre which, says the manufacturer, takes rolling resistance “to a new level”.
The VanContact Eco achieves top marks on the EU tyre label, with an A/A rating for low energy consumption and braking distances in the wet.
The tyre incorporates a new polymer compound – the result, says Continental, is that less energy is absorbed as the tyre rolls.
Compared to the established ContiVanContact 200, the VanContact Eco has a redeveloped tread pattern, with wide ribs in the centre and on the shoulders for increased stability, reduced wear and improved handling.
Continental is offering the VanContact Eco in 10 sizes for 15 to 17-inch rims in widths from 195mm to 255mm, and with aspect ratios from 50 to 75%.
