Winter Performance

When winter's many faces prove unpredictable, this tire will takle 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 tire for any winter temperature.

Efficiency

When the winter journey lasts longer, this tire 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 tire deformation & results in much reduced energy loss.

Comfort

When winter outside is stormy, this tire 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 tire sizes.
