MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Continental Tire recently put the new TerrainContact A/T2 to the test in Iceland during an immersive driving experience held September 14 to 18. Media and invited customers experienced the tire firsthand against a backdrop of winding roads, rugged highlands, glaciers and volcanic landscapes.
The journey took participants from Þingvellir into Iceland’s Western Highlands and through the Kaldidalur valley, where highland gravel routes provided a fitting environment to demonstrate the TerrainContact A/T2’s balance of on-road comfort and off-road capability.
Designed for drivers of pickups and SUVs who spend most of their time on road but need added traction when the terrain changes, the TerrainContact A/T2 combines all-terrain capability and durability with a quiet, comfortable everyday ride.
“The TerrainContact A/T2, as one of the best-balanced performance all-terrain tires in the market, was developed for drivers who want the freedom to explore without compromising their everyday driving experience,” said Okan Sen, National Marketing Manager. “Iceland was the perfect setting to bring that versatility to life, giving attendees the opportunity to experience the tire across the kind of changing terrain it was designed to handle.”
Building on the TerrainContact A/T, the TerrainContact A/T2 delivers improved wet braking and snow traction while maintaining the quiet ride and off-road capabilities of its predecessor. A new tread compound is formulated to increase wet performance, while increased tread depth improves snow traction. Optimized zig-zag grooves and traction teeth provide additional grip in off-road and snowy conditions.
The TerrainContact A/T2 also meets severe snow service requirements, earning the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, and is designed with electric vehicles in mind.
