Continental winter tyres provide first-class safety and traction

In cold weather, Continental recommends fitting winter tyres on all axles of trucks and buses. This is because in wintry conditions, standard tyres reach their limits very quickly, even if they bear the M+S symbol. In many European countries, the minimum legal requirement for tyres suitable for winter use is usually limited to the drive axle and stipulates that tyres must feature the M+S symbol.

Continental’s portfolio of winter tyres for commercial vehicles offers tailor-made tyres that stand out from the competition thanks to optimal traction and high levels of driving safety, when driving on cold and wet, snowy or icy roads. Continental winter tyres featuring the snowflake symbol on the tyre wall easily outperform M+S tyres, and also significantly exceeds the requirements of the “Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake” symbol (3PMSF). The concept of tyres working in harmony with each other is based on many years of experience and practical knowledge gained in Scandinavian countries, where genuine winter tyres are always fitted to commercial vehicles before the onset of winter.
