We have optimized the Top CONTACT Winter II further, refining it with Vectran Breaker anti-puncture belt beneath the tread, as well as giving it a foldable bead. This optimizes its weight reducing the rolling resistance thus increasing speed and handling characteristics. The tread mixture is directly based on our PKW snow tyres. The tyre operates at its best at temperatures between -25°C and 7°C. Where other mixtures no longer have any grip, the Top CONTACT Winter II Premiums' proven compound and tread pattern intermeshes with snow and cold, wet surfaces very well. Here the tyre is even more superior to spiked tyres which cannot straighten up on snow and shoveled streets. The reflective tyres provide additional safety on the dark winter nights and dusky days. Handmade in Germany.
