The Snow Max 3 is equipped with the newest winter compound technology for van tires. This extraordinary material improves braking and handling performance in all wintry conditions.
The optimised pattern design displaces water and slush more effectively. This leads to increased stability on wet roads while reducing the risk of unexpected aquaplaning.
The new winter compound allows less sipes ensuring a more stable pattern which results in a higher mileage. This technology also enables improved handling and braking performance on dry roads.
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.
