The VikingContact 8 is engineered to safely perform no matter the challenge it faces – be it wet, ice, slush, snow or a combination.

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 tyre deformation & results in much reduced energy loss.

Especially, this comfort extends to electric vehicles also, with reduced noise levels at all speeds and an “A” noise rating for all tyre sizes. We make you ready for e-mobility.
