Review on Continental IceContact 3 215/65 R16 102T Winter by Micha ukasiewicz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I should have looked better, I spent money on an ordinary product.

Continental IceContact 3 tires, sized 225/45 R17 and manufactured in Germany. Spike FlexStud. Since the 1st of November being put into action, the Hong Kong region + went on holiday to Hong Kong. Car Volkswagen Golf 7 1.4 TSI. Midway through January, which is approximately 4000 miles, I inspected the tires and discovered that a significant number of the spikes had fallen off. It was like accidentally setting the brand new iPhone 11 Pro down on the hard floor. I contacted to the vendor, and he responded by offering to stud the tires with regular spikes or to take the tires to be inspected for 20 days, with the caveat that the examiners would probably identify the incorrect run-in. I drive each and every day, and there are no wheels that need to be replaced, so I agreed to undertake the studding. One tire received 17 studs, while the other received only 7. After that, I continued my drive for another 3,000 kilometers. Another five to seven spikes then flew out. The rear wheels are flawless; each spike is precisely where it should be. They only make a clattering sound while moving at extremely low speeds; otherwise, there is no annoying hum, just like in the summertime. On the course, despite the snow and ice, I had a positive attitude. Rulitsya performed flawlessly, slowed down normally, and applied the brakes a few times - did not let us down. During the winter, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) activated a few times (with strong braking in slush before bedridden). When I purchased it, there were no reviews available. At this point, I'm not sure what it is that I would purchase. But I don't regret it either. at an average cost of 13,000 per tire. These tires are poorly balanced and are not optimal for the price. Comfortable and safe, but not durable. Examine the things that are most important to you. It is possible that checking into different quality tires may be beneficial.

Pros
  • Comfortable, tenacious, not noisy, predictable, and well managed are desirable qualities in a control system.
Cons
  • The spikes started coming loose from the tires earlier than expected.
