Tested on 225/75R16
The Continental VanContact Ultra stands out for its very low rolling resistance and quiet pass-by noise, making it one of the most fuel-efficient and refined tires in the group. It scores well for lateral grip and subjective handling, with testers noting secure, predictable cornering and good lane-change stability. The weak point is braking: stopping distances on both wet and dry surfaces are longer than average. Continental positions this tire more toward van and panel-van use than heavy overcab motorhomes, and the character reflects that—safe in corners, less aggressive under hard braking.
