CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT SI - 195/55R16 - 91H

The WinterContact SI (Snow and Ice) is Continental's Studless Ice & Snow winter / snow tire developed for the drivers of coupes, sedans, minivans and crossover vehicles. Designed to operate in slippery wintry weather conditions, WinterContact SI tires enhance traction on cold, wet, snow-covered and icy roads.

FEATURES:

Continental WinterContact SIFeaturing PolarPlus Technology, WinterContact SI tires use Continental's +Silane additives to offer a significant improvement in grip over summer tires by allowing the tread compound to stay pliable when temperatures consistently fall below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. The compound is molded into a directional tread design that blends dry road handling with foul-weather traction. High-density multi-angled zigzag sipes increase the number of the tread surface's snow biting edges to enhance wet road and wintertime traction while Traction Groove Technology base-of-the-groove ridges provide additional 3-dimensional snow-biting edges to improve braking traction in deep snow.

SPECIFICATIONS:

WinterContact SI tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

When the WinterContact SI is approximately 50 percent worn, a winter tread depth indicator molded into the tread design lets the driver know that the remaining tread is reaching the end of its ability to provide beneficial snow traction.

Install WinterContact SI tires in sets of four only.

Due to the traction capabilities of the WinterContact SI, Continental recommends using WinterContact SI only in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance.

Winter tires are not UTQG rated.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Periodically check the inflation pressure of your tires and respect the values indicated by the vehicle manufacturer.
The maximum load per tire indicated in the table below is reached with the maximum pressure indicated in tires side.
The maximum inflation pressure should never exceed that set by the manufacturer.

WARRANTY - INSURANCE - FINANCE - MEANS OF PAYMENT - DECISION GUIDE

WARRANTY: All our marketed products are completely new and therefore have the Original Manufacturer's Warranty. Usually the Warranty is 5 years, from the purchising date. That is why it is important to keep the invoice in a safe place together with the other vehicles documents.
INSURANCE: It is a good idea that to have good insurance coverage. Achieving an adequate minimization of risks makes it possible to live with greater peace of mind. Get instant insurance quote online. In addition and depending on the geographical area in which you are, we offer insurance against tire breakage and punctures. Remember that some auto insurance policies include coverage for theft of tires, and therefore the Insurance Company should cover all replacement costs. Finding a good insurance advisor also allows you not to double costs of insurance coverage if those same events are included in an existing one. This requires specific professional and technical knowledge to analyze the scope of each insurance contract. Thats why we recommend working with a sole insurance agent. Find out the ideal insurance for your vehicle, property, company or commercial activity, which includes, Health insurance, Automobile insurance, Travel Insurance, Pet Insurance, Home insurance, Electronics Insurance, Civil Liability, Fire insurance, Robbery insurance, Life insurance, Farmer insurance, All Risk included, Frost and Hail insurance, etc.
FINANCE: In many purchasing decisions, the value of the good to be acquired has a greater weight. But what really needs to be analyzed deeply in the automotive world, is the cost per kilometer. We have seen some customers buying tires out of range (load index and speed), or old/used tires because they seem to be cheaper. This is a very common mistake, which pays off in the long run, because tires wear out faster (best case scenario) and therefore have to be replaced sooner or they can explode risking your family lifes (worst case scenario). We have also seen people buying "bargain" tires that are not suitable for normal use. Example: snow tires in regions with very low meteorological probability. This prematurely wears out the tire when working under inappropriate temperature ranges or conditions. Note that if a wrong decision making when buying tires, it may happen in a traffic accident that the insurance coverage claim may not be available!!!. Conclusion: sometimes what seems to be cheap ends up being expensive.
PAYMENTS: Once the ideal set of tires has been chosen, considering the cost per kilometer, what remains is to define the means and the form of payment. At this point you can always opt for cash payments, credit cards, bank transfers and / or cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin Ethereum, Lite Coin, Binance, Stellar. Any of these options will be available according to the country, the market and the season of the year. Check online financing and payment options and available cryptocurrency exchange .
DECISION GUIDE: Our recommendations in choosing the ideal set of tires or spare parts for your vehicle, is based on metrics, big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, combining large amounts of data provided by our customers and specialized workshops using all available technology (wireless, bluetooth, mobile apps, RFID, etc). All this data is processed in our distributed computing centers in determining the real cost per km.

TIRE TIPS: ICE AND SNOW TIRES

BUYING WHEELS

If you are considering upgrading your car, van, or SUV with larger custom tires or replacing / restocking factory OEM tires, you've come to the right place. We have a wide variety of EO wheels available and / or alternatives with finishes: chrome, black, matte, custom colors, and much more. If you have already seen a set of rims to your liking, we are sure you will find them on our website.

When purchasing non-EO tires, it is important to keep in mind some basic terms that you will encounter during the ordering process for any tire. We will define terms that you may not be familiar with, such as offset (ET or OFFSET), HUB (center hole), PCD, and more. Each and every one of these measures affects whether a wheel will fit correctly on your make and model of vehicle. That is, the tires must be of the right dimensions to function properly on your car.

What is diameter and how does it affect us?

The diameter of a tire is the most well-known wheel dimension: when someone says they have 18 "tires, they mean the diameter of the tire. The actual diameter of a wheel is the distance between the bead seating areas (where the tire is sealed to the edge) NOT the overall diameter of the rim.

When choosing the diameter we want, we have to take into account that we will have to reduce the profile of the tire so that the total height of the rim + tire set remains the same regardless of the diameter of our rims.

Maintaining the same total rim + tire height ensures that speedometer accuracy, driving comfort and control and factory braking as well as acceleration and maximum speed are maintained, therefore no other modifications to the vehicle are necessary.

Tire width, what is it and how is it measured?

Rim width is the distance between the tire bead seating areas across the edge of the wheel (NOT the distance from the outer edge of the wheel to the opposite edge). As with the diameter, the width of the rims have partially increased in response to the increased width of the tires in recent times. However, the most important consideration for the width of the rim is that it is the right size for the tires to be installed. Each tire manufacturer has a range of rim widths for each tire size; even within this range, the mounted width of the tire will change.

Once mounted, the actual width of the tire can increase by almost an inch in some cases when going from the narrowest edge to the widest allowed. This may not sound like a lot, but it can be critical when selecting a tire and wheel package. A tire mounted on a rim that is narrower than necessary can heavily pump the bead causing premature wear in the center of the tire tread and producing more imprecise steering handling.

What is the ET / OFFSET?

The ET / OFFSET is the displacement of the tire within the vehicle's fender and the center of the tire is taken as a reference, which would be zero ET / OFFSET.

Contrary to what many people believe, the more positive the ET is, the closer the tire is to the suspension and brake disc and away from the mud guard, and the more negative it moves away from the suspension and towards the mud guard.

For this reason, you should be especially careful when trying to fit a rim that radically alters the offset, as it may make contact with the suspension and / or braking system, or, if you move too far, the tire will touch the fender.
