Tyre reviews Continental ContiIceContact 2 SUV. Page 7 745

Tires are good for 2 intensive seasons. Upon retreading in the fall, I noticed that half of the studs were already sunk and not working. By the end of the 3rd season, all studs were sunk. The remainder of the tread was approximately 7 mm.

Excellent tires, took them since the same tire model had been running for 6 seasons already! Very soft and moderately noisy rubber!

Normal quality tyres

I've surprisingly taken the wear well and they're still holding up very good!!!

In urban mode – no complaints.
It confidently picks up from moderate snowdrifts.
The irregular coverage (snow/asphalt) between the left and right wheels does not affect steerability.
On the asphalt it brakes slightly worse and goes into sideslip earlier, just like all studded tires.
But the studs are in one piece and sit like they were glued on. No damage after a season.
Noise is small.
Drove very little

I specifically chose tires with enhanced siping, this was my main criterion. Slip on the front axle is almost non-existent, considering the weight distribution of the rear-wheel drive pickup truck when driving unladen. They confidently plow through snow. They balance well. They hum on dry asphalt, as does all studded tires. Let's see what happens after the recommended 700 km run-in. Tire manufacturer - Germany. Overall, these are good tires, I recommend them.

Great tires, previously I drove on studded Kumhos - huge difference. Super braking, almost no side slip moment - stability system almost never engaged (even had doubts about its functionality), braking on ice also excellent. The only downside is the noise, at first there was not even a noise, but a roar like a rising plane, but over time they broke in and became less. And I got used to it too. I'm driving on them for the first season, let's see what happens

I recently replaced my tires with a new set of 225/60 R18s. Given how early winter sets in in these regions, we decided to get ahead of the game. First impressions - extremely quiet on the road. I thought for sure it would be annoyingly loud after the summer season, but that's not the case. So far, this winter has shown to be incredibly grippy on both icy and snowy roads. A bit pricey, but it's worth every penny.

This is my second set of winters and first set of winters on the jeep. Previously, I had IceContact of the first generation on the Kalina. By the way, the jeep came with IceContact 2004. What can I say, these tires are noticeably quieter than the previous ones - the rumble of the studs is not audible at high speed. On wooded snow and mud, it just bites in like a tractor - until the car lies on its side, after which the rear differential

I've run it in extreme conditions in Yakutia, where it got as cold as -50, but once reached -43. The tire has exceeded all our expectations. The main thing - it doesn't harden in the cold and there's no square wheel effect, even after the car was parked for 6 hours at -42.
