Description of Continental ContiVikingContact 7 195/65 R15 95T winter
Continental VikingContact 7 is a directional winter tire with a non-studded tread developed by German developers for use in the harsh conditions of the Nordic countries. They are characterized by reliable grip on icy and snowy roads, as well as stable handling and braking performance on melted snow and wet asphalt. Winter tire Continental ContiVikingContact 7 is suitable for almost any modern passenger car. Available in dozens of sizes for 14" to 20" wheels. It is characterized by improved grip and directional stability on snowy and wet surfaces compared to the previous model. Active Grip Silica...

Pros
- Comfortable and quiet
Cons
- No
Pros
- Not noisy, we have not yet faced extreme conditions, and the area is not the same.
Cons
- Haven't revealed yet
Pros
- Recently purchased, and it's been great thus far!
Cons
- No
Pros
- A low noise level and strong traction in the snow and slush
Cons
- In the past, it has not been able to conduct tests in severe environments, such on ice that is covered with snow.
Pros
- Stillness, gentleness, silkiness, and manageability are all present.
Cons
- Price
Pros
- Obedience, controllability. Low level of noise; in fact, at first it seemed as though the engine was beginning to work at a louder volume. Spikes are far more difficult to roll than these. They do slide, but the vestibular apparatus can nearly always easily discern this and manage the movement in a predictable manner (in my car, the sole electronic help is the anti-lock braking system, or ABS). The patency is significantly superior to that of the studded Gislaved, but it is inferior to that of the studded Continental (compare with the Nord Frost 100 and the ContiIceContact of the first generation). Produced or made in Germany.
Cons
- It was anticipated that there would be a significant variation in ride quality while utilizing summer wheels measuring 205/55 R16 91H (normal pressure) as opposed to size 195/65 R15 95T XL. During the balancing process for the newly forged wheels, I had to glue a lot of weights. Because you can move in the stream and on the track more swiftly and frivolously with these tires, the space between you and the other driver needs to be maintained with a gap. Because traction on ice is available (and sometimes even unexpected), but it has natural limitations compared to spikes, you should also avoid steep icy descents or ascents that have a limited dynamic corridor, lack of freedom in maneuvering, and the capacity to take such obstacles at once. Despite the fact that this is mostly a result of the practice of always driving on studded tires during the winter months. If one assumes that all other factors are the same, then the price at the restaurant is even more expensive than the pretentious Nokian.
Pros
- Quiet, very quiet Excellent traction in the snow, regardless of whether it is loose or packed.
Cons
- On the ice, you need to drive more slowly, but we don't often drive on the winter road, so we don't have as much cause for concern about it as you might think.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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.
Pros
- Very quiet tire, quite pleasant on the joints and bumps. Good braking properties on a variety of surfaces, including the ability to conduct dignified even in ice locations (such as the entrances and exits of yards, petrol stations, etc.). There is a minor decrease in acceleration as well as lateral grip, although both metrics remain at a high level (for friction clutches). The behavior is very predictable; the front axle drifts or the rear axle skids smoothly (assuming there are no aggravating circumstances), and it is well controlled both going into and coming out of a skid (with timely and precise steering). Maintains control of the vehicle while traveling at high speeds and is unafraid to switch lanes even when passing through snow drifts or porridge that are up to 15 centimeters high (of course, you need to be able to operate smoothly with the steering wheel and keep your traction when switching lanes and returning to the lane). Snow conditions are not a problem for it. Having a proper equilibrium
Cons
- It is possible to have noticeable lateral drift in icy places, on uneven roads, or while turning (this occurs while the vehicle is moving slowly). Because there is a slight reduction in directional stability (as compared to summer tires), you will need to taxi more on the course. However, it appears that this is an issue with all winter tires that are designed to have directional traction. It is best to take such a coaster because there is a possibility of encountering difficulties when starting off into a snowy or slippery hill. When drifting or skidding, they are not as instructive as spikes (Spikes, even with a tiny drift, begin to scratch on the asphalt, helping the driver understand the grip limit, while Velcro silently and gently "float away" from the trajectory). Spikes, even with a slight drift, begin to scratch on the asphalt, letting the driver understand the grip limit. When the tire is rolled on the surface, it performs similarly to Velcro in that it is effective. As soon as significant sliding begins (whether it be slipping, blocking while braking, or side drifting), grip on slippery surfaces noticeably worsens. Because of this, I believe that having an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability program (ESP) is an essential condition for the safe usage of these tires (as well as any friction clutches).
Pros
- Everything, from braking to maneuvering to acceleration, is done in a confident and predictable manner.
Pros
- The terms comfort, quiet, handling, and patency all come up.
Cons
- Didn't find
