Review on Continental ContiVikingContact 7 205/55 R16 94T winter by Jnis Ginters ᠌

This is my first Velcro. Before that, I used only studded tires from different manufacturers - the latest Gislaved Nord Frost 200 in size 195 * 65 * R15. Viking took in the same size. The experience of using Velcro in the winter of 20-21 and at the end of 21 in the city and on the intercity highway showed that the rubber is soft and tenacious enough for confident acceleration from a standstill (from a traffic light) without slipping (only premium foreign cars can overtake me), as well as during any (including emergency) braking (you have to look in the rear-view mirror so that you don’t drive into the back). I won't spread that quiet. what does not float, etc. I will dwell on the disadvantage - the behavior of rubber on ice and ice with porridge. On ice, you don’t need to “tear” rubber from a place with a slip (like spikes). The result of this is worse than if you start off slowly. "In tension, speed is gained faster than with slippage and controllability is maintained. When entering a turn (from a cleared road to an uncleaned passage on ice with porridge), I briefly use the hand brake (the rear skids and sets the car straight), release the handbrake and press on the gas. In general, I am very pleased with the tires to such an extent that this year I have already become a little "insolent" (from confidence in rubber on the road) and I still use an aggressive summer driving style (I live in Hong Kong).
