The new pattern is designed to keep more rubber in contact with the road so that wear occurs more slowly. That means more mileage and lower costs.
The SnoVanis 3 is equipped with the newest winter compound technology for van tyres which leads to safe handling on ice, snow, and wet roads which are safety features that all drivers highly value.
This new tyre saves fuel on snowy urban streets as well as in the deep snow of the countryside thanks to the block and sipe layout of the pattern and the new lower resistance compound.
The wet grip rating indicates how well the tire will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to class E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.
Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tires deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing for each subsequent class through to E.
This is the external rolling noise generated by the tire, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A to C.
In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tires only).
With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tires.
