Continental VanContact Ultra - 195/65 R15C 98/96T 6PR EVc

The 'C' stands for Commercial. This designation indicates that the tire is specifically built with a reinforced construction to handle the higher loads and stresses associated with vans and light commercial vehicles.

EVc technology in Continental tires is designed to optimize performance, often contributing to improved fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance. It aims to provide a balance between performance, durability, and economy.

It is recommended to check your tire pressure at least once a month and before any long journeys. Also, check when the tires are cold, as driving heats them up and increases the pressure reading.

While the size may fit, these tires are designed for commercial vehicles. Using them on a passenger car might result in a harsher ride and less optimal handling characteristics compared to tires designed specifically for passenger use.

The load index indicates the maximum weight each tire can carry. '98' is the primary index (e.g., for the front axle), and '96' is secondary (e.g., for the rear axle or single fitment). 'T' is the speed rating, indicating the maximum speed the tire can sustain.

Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual or the tire information placard, usually located on the driver's side doorjamb. It will specify the recommended tire size, load index, and speed rating for your vehicle.

The VanContact Ultra is designed for all-season traction, meaning it performs reliably in a variety of conditions including dry, wet, and light snow. However, for extreme winter conditions, dedicated winter tires are always recommended.

Check tire pressure and adjust to the manufacturer's recommendation. Ensure proper wheel alignment and tire balancing. Rotate tires as per the vehicle manufacturer's schedule.

Verify tire pressure is at the recommended level. Ensure no obstructions in the vehicle's drivetrain. EVc technology benefits are most noticeable under consistent driving conditions; stop-and-go traffic may minimize its effect.

Inspect tread depth; worn tires lose traction. Check for any debris lodged in the tread. Ensure tires are the correct specification for the vehicle and driving conditions.

Immediately cease using the tire and have it inspected by a professional. Do not drive on a damaged tire as it can be unsafe. Replacement may be necessary.
