Viking FourTech

The all-season tire
Four seasons – one versatile tread pattern

SPORTY. STRONG. SAFE!

The modern, all-season tire for city vehicles in the compact and midsize segments. Whether you’re on dry roads in summer or snow-covered trails in winter, FourTech will win you over with its superior safety during any time of year.

Technical Highlights

Perfect grip, short braking distances.
Stable longitudinal shoulder blocks provide optimized transfer of grip and braking power. This ensures short braking distances on dry roads.

Efficient water channeling guards against hydroplaning.
The wide cross-grooves running around the circumference of the tire are optimized for efficient water channeling. This enables improved protection against hydroplaning, thus increasing safety in wet conditions.

Superior safety on snow.
The optimized siping technology in the middle of the tread provides more gripping edge surface and greater flexibility. This ensures proper braking and improved traction on snow.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012. Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.

The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.

Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
