Continental is Hannover-engineered for outstanding wet and winter grip — and one of the most balanced premium tire brands on the road. We stock the VikingContact 7 (winter), ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus (performance), and ProContact TX A/S (all-season touring) at 111 42 Ave SW.

Why we recommend Continental in Calgary

Continental's been making tires in Germany since 1871. They're the brand most automakers (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW) ship as original equipment — which tells you something about consistency and balance.

The VikingContact 7 is Continental's dedicated winter tire — specifically engineered for Nordic winters, which translates well to Calgary's -30°C January nights. Quieter than most dedicated winters, and the rubber compound holds grip on packed snow that Calgary's side streets accumulate before plowing.

For year-round touring on a sedan or crossover, the ProContact TX A/S is a quiet, long-wearing option. For sport sedans that need wet-handling, the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus has one of the best wet-grip ratings in its class.

Every Continental tire we install gets the same balance, calibrated torque, and TPMS reset as our premium-priced jobs — and we price-match any local Calgary competitor on the same model. Book installation or call (403) 452-4283.

ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is a strong all-season pick for performance sedans. Their winter VikingContact 7 stays soft below -25°C, which is the temperature where rubber compound choice actually matters in southern Alberta.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about buying tires

What's the best Continental tire for Calgary winters?
The VikingContact 7 is Continental's flagship winter tire — engineered for Nordic conditions, which match Calgary's -30°C cold snaps. We install it from October through April for sedans, crossovers, and SUVs.
How much do Continental tires cost in Calgary?
Continental tires at Prince Tires range from $210 to $390 per tire. ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus starts around $215; ProContact TX A/S around $240; VikingContact 7 around $290 in mid-range sizes.
Is the VikingContact 7 3PMSF rated?
Yes. The VikingContact 7 carries the 3PMSF symbol, which meets Alberta's winter-tire law and the BC Highway 93 / Trans-Canada Banff winter-tire mandate from October 1 through April 30.
What's the difference between ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus and DWS06?
DWS06 Plus is the 2nd-gen model, released in 2019. Better wet-grip and longer treadwear than the original DWS06 (which Continental no longer makes). Both carry the 'DWS' (Dry-Wet-Snow) marking on the sidewall.
Do you install Continental run-flat tires?
Yes. We install Continental run-flat (SSR) tires on supported vehicles — BMW, Mercedes, Mini, etc. Run-flats need specific equipment for proper balance and bead seating; we use Hunter Road Force balancers for accurate run-flat install.
Same-day Continental installation in Calgary?
Yes for stocked sizes if you book before midday. Sedan and crossover sizes (215/55R17, 225/45R17, 235/45R18, etc.) are most reliably in stock. Call (403) 452-4283 to confirm before booking trucks or unusual sizes.
