Feature and benefits

• The WorldContact 4x4 tyre is the face of the future, and Continental Tyres answer to the challenges faced by adventurous 4x4 owners in Southern Africa. Special characteristics of the new-generation tyre include:

• An extra wide tread for excellent tread life.

• A high strength steel casing to provide improved resistance to punctures.

• An interlocking block tread design for quiet running on tarmac surfaces.

• Wide open-tread grooves for superior traction in the wet and a resistance to aquaplaning.

• A good self-cleaning action of the tread for enhanced grip in mud and sandy conditions.

• Straight sidewalls for improved resistance to sidewall intrusions from protruding rocks, stumps or other threatening off-road situations.

• Shoulder ribs to deflect objects that can cause sidewall intrusions.

• Technical details

  Large tread blocks combined with broader shoulder

• Central circumferential rib and large intermediate tread blocks

• Modern compound technology

• Open grooves between the tread blocks

• Benefits

  Off- road robustness and high levels of traction with excellent self-cleaning properties

• Improved steering response and on-road stability

• Improved wet grip levels in on-road conditions and resistance to wear

• Increased levels of water displacement and improved resistance to aquaplaning

• Product range

  15"16"

• All-season LT/SUV tire for OE fitments

  Ventus AS is designed to provide the ride comfort, low noise and all-season traction that exists in these original equipment tires

• TYRE PATTERN

  6 Circumferential grooves: Cools the tire, improves steerability and allows water to escape the footprint

• Solid centerline: Improves driving feel and stability.

• Open shoulder design: Provides “see-thru” evacuation of water and slush.

• High density siping: Gives the Ventus AS hundreds of biting edges for noise performance

• Stepped groove walls: Provide extra edges for steering traction

• Tire Structure

  Rim protect bar protects the rim from scuffing while preventing the sidewall from “rolling over” the rim flange.Sidewall shape optimized to bend gently-reducing stresses and improving ride comfort.

• Sidewall compound specially formulated to resist ozone, aging, cracking and abrasion.

• Nylon belt overlay provides strength to the tread area and restricts belt motion-the key to high performance handling.

• Two extra-wide high tensile steel belts give the tire crisp handling and flex to absorb road shocks.
