I have been choosing winter tires for the 2022/2022 season for a long time. Planned to operate in the city with occasional trips out of town. After an unsuccessful, as I think, purchase of Velcro, Dunlop, which did not drive at all in the snow, was going to buy a spike. After reading the reviews and weighing all the pros and cons, I chose the Continental Viking Contact7 205/60 R16. So far I have never regretted the purchase. So far, I have not been able to try the rubber only on deep snow and…

I put tires on a new Volvo s60 t5 awd. so far, the operating experience is only 1000 km, but it has already been possible to ride on all types of winter surfaces. region of use - St. Petersburg and the region. I can say that this is the first experience of riding Velcro. before that, was also a skeptic and lover of Hakki 8-9 series. The conclusions are as follows - I did not think that it could be so good. there was already ice rain, slush, thaw, frost after thaw, snowy rolled roads, snow with…

This is the softest rubber I've ridden on. Handling is excellent, braking and accelerating on any surface (within reason). I put it after the spikes, and I could not believe that the rubber could be so quiet. The first feeling was that the car is standing still, took in the amount of 205/60/16. I made no mistake with the choice. I recommend it to everyone, premium is premium. I wish it was cheaper, but it's worth every dollar spent.

For 8 seasons in the winter I rode a continental with spikes, there were no questions about handling and cross-country ability, the only thing was the desire to wait for spring faster and throw off noisy and heavy sneakers. After wearing these Velcro joy there is no limit. Auto CR-V. I recommend everyone who has crossovers to switch from spikes to Velcro. During this winter, there have already been all the options for events, sleet, frost without snow, frost with snow, ice. Everything is fine !

You know, I have not received such positive emotions from winter tires for a very long time. I had a studded ekogama, miserable cordians, an indistinct henkook Velcro, after which I vowed never to buy Velcro. With the car got Toyo g3 studded, good enough. But compared to these continentals, all that was, all this is amno, even if you make allowances for the spikes. On the Continental, I strongly noticed the complete absence of noise from the rubber. In urban mode, one gets the impression that…

Its pros: Very quiet. Very soft. Excellent grip. Rows well in loose snow. Cons below: When managing appeared "jelly". There are no sharp "cuts" into the trajectory when turning the steering wheel. But I don't think that would be the case with winter tires.

This is my first experience with friction winter tires. An interesting effect: it seems that there is never a rigid connection between the wheels and the road (even dry and relatively clean), everything is somehow softer and smoother (without a significant difference in reactions compared to summer tires), but it is convenient to drive a car and comfortable. Chose between these Continental and two other options: Goodyear UltraGrip Ice 2 NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA R2 I began to look for a reason to…

Previously, I always drove a Michelin and thought that if the expensive one means the best, I looked at the tests and was surprised that the Michelin lost to the Continental in the tests and the price is clearly different from the Michelin, I bought myself a 235 / 45R18 I thought it would be tight, everyone said that the low profile means tough, I drove before that on a 17 diameter and I thought that the difference would appear immediately, but to my surprise, I didn’t feel the difference at…

I skated for one season on goodrich g-force stud 185/65 R15 bush spikes, which I got as a gift. In terms of grip properties, they were satisfied, although they did not show super results, but this is understandable since there are spikes only on the sides. Once I almost flew sideways onto the track from the accelerating lane when leaving the gas station, relying on spikes. At the same time, the tires, although they were soft and comfortable at the joints, made a lot of noise (additional…

Granta 175/65/14 My first Velcro, before that only spikes. To say that I am crazy is an understatement. I always thought that Velcro for all-wheel drive, how can you now generally change to a car with studded tires? The level of comfort, even on a grant, has grown to the level of Camry 3.5 (my personal opinion, the gun race is all business). Loose snow rows, confidently moves uphill. Naturally, they are led into heavy ice, but here the spikes leave the chat. In general, you can wear them…

205/55/16. octavia a7 car There are few reviews. End of October: no snow and ice yet, but first impressions are: Bought maybe looking for a quiet, soft tires with good performance for the city. In terms of noise, the tires are very impressive, I have never had such a silent rubber. Even the Nokian rs2, which I would call quiet and soft, is still noisier, although it would never have occurred to me to call it noisy. Continental up to 40-50 km / h on dry good asphalt is simply not audible at…

Good afternoon! I wanted to leave a review about the tires Continental VikingContact 7! I bought tires on a Lexus GS300 in the amount of 235/45 R18, the tires were very pleased with their comfort, they are quieter and softer than my previous tires, they showed themselves very well on the first snow, although the rear-wheel drive, I rode confidently on it, I even forgot that such to slow down on turns! overall very pleased with the rubber, did not regret that I bought it! I can safely put her 5+

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…

The purchase was very satisfied! The first thing that caught my eye after installing the tires was the silence and comfort when driving, especially after the spikes. Stability and handling on the road are also at the highest level. I was worried that the car would slow down worse, but even here the tires showed themselves perfectly: they stop the car faster than many studded analogues! As a result, I’ll say that the impressions of the purchase were only good, the seller did not deceive with the

Went to NN this winter. There is a lot of snow, I just could feel what the manufacturer says. In the snow, the car drives confidently. On the same level as with the Hakkapelitta 8 spikes. Rows only on the way. Perhaps Kidiaq contributes to this himself. He climbed mountains full of snow. In general, I did not feel flawed, disadvantaged in the absence of spikes. Its pros: The tires are quiet, I felt it as soon as I changed the car's shoes from the summer Scorpion Verde. Holds the road well On…

After reading positive reviews, I bought this rubber for Skoda Octavia 1.8T 180 hp in size 205/55 R16. First impressions, soft and quiet. But soon there was no limit to the disappointment of rubber. Handling is poor, it pulls in a rut, with very dynamic acceleration on asphalt, the car literally scours so that you only have time to catch the trajectory with the wheel. Some stunning confidence on the ice and snowy track was not felt. But the most important thing for the season is minus one wheel

My first Velcro. Size 245/40/18. And miraculously, I'm happy as an elephant. Works great with mud! On pure snow, handling and braking with a bang! Once I hit the bare ice (someone spilled some water in a circular motion :)). Well, even the spikes would not have coped there. But it was all predictable. Wear has not yet been checked. Drove a thousand 8 total on it. In complete delight. I recommend!

Tuareg car, wheel size 255/55/18. The Conti were bought to replace the Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV, which, after 5 years of operation, retained the tread, but became so hard that they became dangerous. I compare Conti with this Nokian. In principle, all indicators are equal, except that the Tour at high speed and the winter road is very unstable on the Conti, you constantly feel that it is slippery, you have to taxi. Very annoying compared to Hakka. That is why in this size my choice is Hakka, and not

Four years successfully and on all types of surfaces I drove a Viking 6 and in the 21/22 season I decided to try the 7 series of non-studded tires. In short, the impressions are excellent, no worse than the 6 series. There are no problems in the city at all - both in snow and in rain, and all the more important on dry frosty asphalt. Predictable braking and maneuvering. Nuance machine on full drive. Out of town on the track you need to be more careful than on the spikes, but nevertheless, there

Having 2 cars in the family, one on this clutch, the second on spikes, we can make an unambiguous conclusion - that you always feel more confident on spikes in winter conditions. The friction clutch wins only on bare asphalt, and then in terms of comfort. On snow, ice, spikes are also not audible. At minus 30 on this rubber, like on spikes, an excellent hook. On the pavement sprinkled with reagents is also good. On a rolled road at a temperature of about 0, it’s certainly scary to drive, unlike
