Continental VanContact 4Season
EU tyre label for every size: 25 sizes of this all-season tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Continental VanContact 4Season is a all-season tyre for vans and light trucks, trucks and buses. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 25 sizes (42 registrations including load and speed variants), for 14″ to 17″ rims.
Wet grip is rated A–B depending on size, fuel efficiency B–D and external rolling noise 72–73 dB. Every size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), the mark for tyres tested in severe snow.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale (vans and light trucks) is 225/70 R15 C (Wet grip A · Fuel efficiency B · 73 dB), the weakest 225/55 R17 C (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency C · 73 dB).
On the EU market since July 2016; the earliest production week registered is 26/2016.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other all-season tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (24 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: wet grip. Weakest point: rolling noise, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.
All 25 sizes
The small figure under each class is the share of same-size, same-season tyres this size matches or beats (“–” when fewer than five tyres share the size).

Same label values, different brand
These tyres have exactly the same label values as the Continental VanContact 4Season in most of the sizes they share, and both are registered in EPREL by the same manufacturer. Identical labels do not prove two tyres are the same: classes are broad. But consistent matches across many sizes point to a shared production family.
