Continental 03458320000 VikingContact 8 265/55R19 113H XL Winter Tire

The Continental VikingContact 8 is a premium studless Nordic winter tire engineered for passenger cars, crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks — including hybrid and electric vehicles. Rated 265/55R19 113H XL, this tire delivers confident traction across the full spectrum of winter conditions including snow, ice, slush, and cold wet pavement.

PolarPlus Technology is at the core of the VikingContact 8's performance. This next-generation Nordic tread compound keeps the rubber flexible at low temperatures, ensuring maximum contact with the road surface when it matters most — translating to stronger grip, responsive handling, and shorter stopping distances on snow and ice.

Key Features:

• Three-Layer Sipe Design: Multi-layered 3D sipes and snow-edge shoulders create an abundance of biting edges for improved traction during acceleration, braking, and cornering on packed snow and ice
• Directional Tread Pattern: Optimized groove network efficiently channels water and slush away from the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and maintaining control in wet winter conditions
• Reduced Rolling Resistance: Next-generation Nordic compound lowers rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency and extended EV battery range — making this tire EV-approved and optimized for hybrid and electric vehicles
• Advanced Noise Performance: Precision tread pattern engineering delivers a quiet, refined ride, earning an "A" sound class rating across sizes
• Dual Winter Certifications: Branded with both the Ice Grip symbol and the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meeting the industry's most stringent severe winter traction standards
• XL / Extra Load Rated: Reinforced construction supports higher load demands — ideal for larger SUVs and crossovers

The Continental VikingContact 8 is the studless winter solution for drivers who face genuine winter weather. It is recommended to install in sets of four for optimal handling balance and safety.
