Introducing the Viking CityTech II, a tire designed to deliver exceptional performance and safety for compact passenger vehicles. Crafted with a modern silica-infused compound, this tire ensures reliable braking even on wet surfaces. The CityTech II stands out as an economically attractive choice, offering low rolling resistance and impressive mileage.
Enhanced Safety and Comfort
This tire is the perfect fit for compact to mid-sized vehicles, providing high comfort through reduced noise levels. With its excellent price-performance ratio, Viking tires offer proven quality at fair prices. Experience increased safety during aquaplaning, making it suitable for vehicles like the Toyota IQ, Peugeot 207, and Skoda Fabia.
Outstanding Handling on Dry Roads
The outer shoulder of the profile features closed shoulder blocks combined with a stiff circumferential band. This design enhances stiffness, resulting in excellent cornering stability on dry roads and optimal handling in both curves and straight driving.
Superior Wet Handling
The inner shoulder of the profile includes partially open shoulder blocks (tie-bars) and a double block structure in the circumferential band. This configuration optimizes block stiffness while maintaining effective water displacement from the tire center to the outside, ensuring excellent handling in wet conditions.
Advanced Water Displacement System
Featuring a transverse groove system in the tread bands and an innovative sipe concept, this tire effectively channels water from the center contact area to the large circumferential grooves. Additional grip edges enhance safety during aquaplaning and improve wet braking.
Optimized Driving Comfort
The shoulder groove system, with consistent width and inclination angle, combined with a slight offset between the inner and outer shoulder, minimizes rolling noise through optimized frequency overlap. This results in reduced noise levels and enhanced driving comfort.
The compact tyre. For compact-class and middle-class vehicles.
The modern mixture/combination of components with a silica portion ensures a clear improvement when applying wet brakes. The CityTech II is a financially attractive tyre that is distinguished by low rolling friction and high mileage.

Outer shoulder
Feature: The outer shoulder of the tread consists of closed shoulder blocks combined with a stiff circumferential rib
Effect: Increased stiffness means very good cornering stability on dry roads and optimum handling in bends and on the straight
Benefit: Excellent handling characteristics on dry roads
Inner shoulder
Feature: The inner shoulder of the tread pattern consists of partially open shoulder blocks (tie bars) and a double block structure in the circumferential rib
Effect: Optimised block stiffness, combined with good water displacement from the tyre centre outwards
Benefit: Very good handling in the wet
Water displacement system
Feature: Lateral groove system in the tread ribs, together with an innovative sipe concept
Effect: Efficient water dispersion from the centre of the contact patch to the large circumferential grooves, plus additional gripping edges
Benefit: Increased aquaplaning safety and improved braking in the wet
Lateral groove system in shoulder
Feature: Consistent width and uniform inclination angle in the shoulder grooves, combined with a slight offset between the inner and outer shoulder
Effect: Rolling noise is eliminated by the optimised frequency overlay
Benefit: Reduced noise level and thus optimised driving comfort
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.

C
