Troubleshooting

Uneven tread wear

Check tire pressure regularly and ensure it is within the manufacturer's recommended range. Rotate tires at recommended intervals. Have the vehicle's alignment and balancing checked by a professional.

Reduced traction in wet or icy conditions

Verify that the tire tread depth is adequate. Ensure tire pressure is correct. These tires are designed for all-season use, but extreme conditions may still require cautious driving. For severe winter conditions, consider snow tires if the VanContact A/S Ultra does not meet your specific needs.

Vibrations or noise during driving

Ensure tires are properly balanced. Check for any foreign objects lodged in the tread. If the issue persists, have the wheels and tires inspected for damage or imbalances.

Tire sidewall appears damaged

Inspect the sidewall for cuts, bulges, or abrasions. If any damage is found, the tire should be professionally inspected and potentially replaced to ensure safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

The Continental VanContact A/S Ultra is specifically designed for light trucks, vans, and commercial vehicles. Always ensure you select the correct tire size for your vehicle, as indicated in your owner's manual or on the vehicle's tire placard. Common sizes include variations of R16C and R17C, suitable for popular models like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Iveco Daily.

Installation:

Professional installation by a qualified technician is recommended. This ensures the tires are mounted correctly on the wheels and balanced for optimal performance and longevity. Proper inflation is critical; always adhere to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended tire pressure.

Care:

  • Regular Inspection: Periodically check tire pressure and tread depth. Look for any signs of uneven wear, cuts, or punctures.
  • Tire Rotation: Rotate tires regularly (e.g., every 5,000-7,500 miles) to ensure even wear and extend their lifespan. Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended rotation pattern.
  • Cleaning: Clean the tires with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or petroleum-based cleaners, which can damage the rubber compound.
  • Storage: If storing tires, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources. Store them unmounted or stacked if mounted.
