Review on Continental ContiVikingContact 7 205/55 R16 94T winter by Michal Dobiasz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

225/50 17. Germany. Honda accord 9. Speaking of winter tires, you should remember that it is winter. Those. if you are a "very sharp guy", you will probably be slippery on any tire. When driving normally, at a calm or moderately active pace, the Viking performs just fine. Yes, it will slip on slippery surfaces (unbelievable, right?) If you press the pedal hard, like any other tire, it is not magical. But the grip it gives is enough in all situations and on all winter surfaces. The exception is smooth ice (precisely smooth. Everything is fine on rough) or an even layer of wet porridge on the track when it is near zero and heavy snowfall. Everything is bad here, it’s scary to go faster than 80. To be honest, such driving conditions are rare. The rest is just brilliance. The asphalt is frozen, with snow, rolled snow, just snow - everything is fine. There is enough grip everywhere, sometimes you are even surprised. Acceleration is especially good on snow. Braking is also excellent but acceleration works better. Everything is great in corners. Another nice feature is that with a decrease in temperature, the tire does not think to tan. On the contrary, at -25-30 it maximizes its potential. Very soft rubber. For example, I liked the way it behaves in the cold. I especially recommend it to residents of Siberia, the Urals and similar climatic regions. On dry and wet roads at positive temperatures, you just feel sooo soft and quiet. It rides confidently uphill on rolled snow, does not slip. By the way, this is all about front-wheel drive. If you have something all-wheel drive . apparently everything will be even better for you. As a result. The tire makes it possible to simply ride calmly and not strain under any conditions and temperatures. What you need. Definitely worth the money, I recommend to buy. Who is still experiencing thorns / not thorns - do not worry and do not doubt. I especially recommend to those who have a real winter at home.

Pros
  • Soft Quiet Excellent grip on any surface With a decrease in temperature, it only reveals its properties better.
Cons
  • Not detected
