Review on Continental ContiVikingContact 7 195/65 R15 95T winter by Micha Skolimowski ᠌
One of the best deals, glad I bought this.
Drove them 2 times in January Hong Kong-Hong Kong-Hong Kong. Despite the varied coverage across the regions, the temperatures ranging from +2 to -29, the uncleaned roads, etc., there was not a single issue or potentially hazardous circumstance. Tires are not inexpensive, but the value they provide more than justifies the cost. Over 8,000 kilometers traveled over the course of two winters with nary a single hazardous circumstance encountered, be it in the city, on the highway, or in the snow. Prior to that, there were NF5 gislaveds, and Nokian 8 - I swore to myself that I would never again place spikes. Separately, having the courage to switch lanes at high speed during snow-to-asphalt transitions and having good side grip in corners are both significant advantages. Because 4x4 vehicles have lower acceleration requirements, I do not consider it.
- When passing at speeds greater than 100 kilometers per hour, handling, braking on snow and asphalt, and lane change precision at the asphalt-snow-asphalt gauge boundary are all important. Very quiet.
- Since I could not locate the standard dimension of 215/70 16, I settled with 215/65; of course, the speedometer is not telling the truth. When attempting to apply the brakes on thickly icy asphalt, extreme caution is required because the stopping distance will be greater than that required for spikes.
