A considerable amount of time has been spent on my search for winter tires for the 2022/2022 season. The plan is to conduct business primarily within the city, with excursions to surrounding areas planned on occasion. After what I believe to have been a fruitless attempt to purchase Velcro, Dunlop, which did not drive at all in the snow, was planning to purchase a spike. I chose the Continental Viking Contact7 205/60 R16 after considering all of the reviews and assessing the benefits and drawbacks of each option. To this day, I have never once lamented the decision to make the purchase. To this yet, I have not been able to test the rubber just on icy surfaces that are covered in a thick layer of snow, since the utilities do not allow such testing. Although the company, Nokian Hakapelita, is pretty well-known, I vividly recall that in the fall I did not want to change my shoes into spiked shoes because the spike buzzed on bare asphalt like you were flying on an airplane. This was despite the fact that the manufacturer is quite well-known. And there is complete silence and comfort now throughout the journey. I placed rubber on a Skoda oktavia 2022 1.4 on a pipe. Spikes are the type of tires I would probably go for if I had to spend the most of the winter driving on snow.
