3 ProTech HP The UHP tyre CityTech II The compact tyre The well balanced high performance tyre with sporting capabilities. The CityTech II is an economical attractive tyre with low rolling resistance and high mileage. For middle-class vehicles and executive cars. For compact-class and middle-class vehicles. Exemplary handling in dry conditions. Improved protection against aquaplaning. The closed outer shoulder of the tyre increases the transverse rigidity and enlarges the area in contact with the road. This results in exemplary handling in dry conditions and improves the transfer of forces, especially on corners. The modern lateral groove system in the tread grooves means that water is effectively channelled from the contact area in the middle to the large circumferential grooves. This ensures good protection against aquaplaning. Increased mileage thanks to even wear. Excellent handling on dry roads. Uniformly spaced wide tread ribs distribute the pressure evenly over the ground contact area. This keeps wear to a minimum, increasing the mileage. The outer shoulder is made up of closed shoulder blocks with a solid circumferential groove. This increases the rigidity and results in very good cornering stability on dry roads. The handling performance on corners and when driving in a straight line is optimised. Improved handling on wet roads. Inner shoulder blocks with subdepth elements ensure that water flows away from the groundcontact area effectively, enabling precise handling on wet roads. 4 Reduced noise level and improved driving comfort. The uniform width and inclination of the shoulder grooves, in combination with the slightly offset inner and outer shoulders, reduces the road noise due to the optimised frequency overlay. The low noise level improves the driving comfort. 5

4 TransTech II The van tyre Safe driving with heavy weight. For transporter and vans. Improved handling on dry roads. Optimised tread pattern stiffness and increased stability in the circumferential lugs, plus ideally positioned gripping edges improve the handling characteristics on dry roads. Highly economical due to long service life. A flat tyre contour and a low-wear compound increase the ground contact area and results in even, reduced wear. This extends the service life and increases the economy of the tyre. More comfortable ride due to low noise level.

5 FourTech The all-season tyre Whether dry summer roads or snow-covered slopes, the FourTech offers high safety for all seasons. For city vehicles in the compact- and middle-class segment. Perfect grip, short braking distances. The solid shoulder blocks in longitudinal direction lead to an optimised transmission of traction and braking forces. This leads to short braking distances on dry roads. Efficient water drainage prevents aquaplaning. The wide circumferential and water flow optimised lateral grooves have been optimised for efficient water drainage. This results in improved aquaplaning performance and thus increases driving safety. Summer optimised shoulder and winter optimised centre parts guarantee excellent performance in all weather conditions. High safety on snow. The optimised sipe technology in the central part of the pattern offers more gripping edges and high flexibility. This allows good braking and grip on snow. 8 9

6 FourTech Van The robust all-season tyre Viking s robust all-season tyre for vans and transport vehicles. Whether hot and dry summer roads or snow-covered winter streets: the FourTech Vanoffers high safety and excellent durability for every weather condition. High wet performance on wet roads. Step-sipes with a prolonged edge length ensure good driving performance on wet roads and increase tyre stiffness. This results in better braking performance and precise handling in wet conditions. Wide lateral shoulder grooves effectively drain water and improving aquaplaning resistance. Enhanced traction on snow. Pockets in the profile trap a lot of snow and step-shaped groove edges also enhance adhesion. Resulting in better traction behaviour and strong braking performance on snowy roads.

The tyre offers excellent directional stability and safe cornering on dry, wet and snowy roads thanks to its ribbon structure with a tie bar in the centre. Handling ribs in the shoulder provide consistent stiffness, which has a positive effect on vehicle dynamics

7 WinTech The passenger tyre WinTech Van The van tyre The unique V-shaped tread design guarantees driving pleasure and safety even in the most adverse winter conditions. A reliable partner of high safety and excellent driving comfort even in tough Nordic winter conditions. For compact-class and middle-class vehicles. For transporters and vans. Very good winter performance and handling characteristics. Excellent snow traction and braking performance. The V-shaped tread in the running direction, with a large number of long edges, improves the development of longitudinal and lateral forces. This ensures good winter performance and impressive handling characteristics. Pockets in the pattern blocks collect the snow to improve the interlocking of the pattern on snow and increases the snow traction performance. In addition the sipes create numerous gripping edges for excellent braking performance on snow. Improved protection against aquaplaning. Optimum aquaplaning safety. The V-shaped tread and wide lateral grooves in the shoulder area result in excellent water uptake and perfect lateral drainage. This increases the degree of protection against aquaplaning. Short braking distances on wet roads. Wide lateral grooves in the shoulder and circumferential grooves improve the dispersion of water and optimise the aquaplaning safety. High mileage performance. By the flat tyre contour the ground pressure is distributed evenly, increasing the mileage. The new rubber compound of the next silica generation improves grip on wet roads. In damp conditions the handling is improved and the braking distance is shortened
