Review on Continental ContiVikingContact 7 205/55 R16 94T winter by Adam Kotula ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I installed it at the beginning of December, the average daily temperature was still positive, there was no snow, much less ice, I changed shoes to replace the summer Bridge 697 and, frankly, I was shocked, 7 Viking caused a real delight, firstly, the tire is very, very comfortable, not noisy, I stopped noticing joints, pits and other irregularities after the Bridge, the autumn was long and warm after the rain, I decided to check for aquaplaning and Kontik coped with a bang, even deep puddles flew with a whistle like on summer directional tires, the water diverts to the sides, and not to the hood and windshield like many even summer tires, on autumn roads the tire proved to be 5 plus and it's time for winter. The first cold weather with snow came, as usual, unexpectedly and on the same day, but Kontik couldn’t do anything, loose snow and snow porridge were tough for him, then cold weather came and winter took everything in its initiative, in ice the tire handles perfectly and predictably even at decent speeds , does not drift into corners and is controlled perfectly, with sudden braking, the abs works for only a fraction of a second and the car stops, it was cold for a week Under -40, the tire does not tan at all and on a frozen and icy road it steers to a solid 5, slows down and pushes from a place like on spikes, by the way, last winter I shod spikes, the brand will remain secretly marked and, having left the winter, I thought that everything in the cold is now only spikes, but after I turned up Kontik 7, I take my words back, the spikes lie and there is absolutely no desire to shoe them, since Kontik suits me 100% and copes with its tasks with a bang, I recommend this model to everyone,

Pros
  • Ride, handling, comfort.
Cons
  • No
