Review on Continental ContiVikingContact 7 205/55 R16 94T winter by Wiktor Stpie ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are deviations, in general it is tolerable.

I'll put it on the car soon and check it, especially for noise. . Rubber surprisingly turned out to be very quiet, now I hear those sounds from the engine that I did not hear on the summer Pirreli Zero and the winter Nokian R1. It holds just as well on icy asphalt and in slush, there has been little snow yet, but it rows confidently, even in 10 cm of snow. The Discovery 4 car is all-wheel drive, so it also has a good grip on the friction tires. Addition after snowfalls and a frost. If there is a layer of dry snow on the asphalt, and the asphalt is frozen in frost, then during braking, mostly sharp, snow collects under the wheels and the car skids up to 5 m at a speed of 30-40 km per hour and the ABS is activated. Those. almost the same effect as on bad tires in wet slush. But as I said, I enjoy the silence from them. A year has passed. The rubber has become oak, as a result, under-inflated wheels float at speed on slush, you have to go below 80, where you can 110 and above. If you pump up a little more, then they hold a little better, but there is even more noise from the tires. Although he did show up a year later. In yards with snowy knurled ruts, it throws to the sides on neighboring cars. Rubber does not match its qualities and even more so the price. I have a Discovery 4 car, the Shumka in it is wonderful, plus I made an extra one.

Pros
  • A very soft rubber compound, even hands get dirty with soot, which means that in cold weather it will adequately slow down and row . A year later it is no longer soft !
Cons
  • A year has passed, the price of rubber has increased, but the properties of tires have changed dramatically.
