Tyre reviews Continental ContiIceContact 3. Страница 2 315

Terrible tires. Doesn't hold any snow at all, driving is frightening. ABS, ESP, all the stabilization systems are squealing like a pig. Purely city tire with a few centimeters of snow. Moscow and so on... Previously, they stood on the first Conti Ice Contact. Several times better, even after 8 years of operation and the absence of half of the studs. For this money it's a complete flop. Handling on dry roads and braking characteristics are good. If

nonsense. 23 studs missed the cashier. the tire is just bald. according to reviews, everything is fine here. on the Nordman 4 for 40 thousand, the stock did not come off, like here for a couple of thousand. all the studs are pulled out with a finger, on the Nordman with a screwdriver, pliers and pincers, it's impossible to pull them out. I regret that I paid attention to this nonsense

These are the first studded tires I've had, excluding the service Niva. I bought them based on tests and reviews in the spring, with a discount. I got tired of struggling with the non-disengageable TRC/VSC on icy uphill climbs and intersections with slightly worn-out summer tires (it does drive, but the traction moment is so delayed). I bought them because of the brand, plus the fact that the studs are made by the manufacturer itself, it's a pity that on this size they are simply aluminum, but in a rectangular shape, and also the fact that the studs are attached with glue was a plus. I ran them in carefully, with a reserve, for a total of 1200 km, and the first half of that was during a thaw (around zero to plus 5-10 degrees). By the end of the run-in, we went to the end of the region (600 km), and on the way back, I was already driving 140-150 km/h on asphalt. Not a single stud came off, although I had to brake sharply a couple of times. Today, with almost 2,000 km, all the studs are still in place. You can see that they have settled into place, and the rubber around them is slightly compressed. As for the noise, I'm used to it - it's an individual thing. On ice, they grip perfectly, but of course, there's a limit to everything. I'm also pleased with the tread pattern and the distance between the tread pattern and its height - it self-cleans well, and I think it will be durable off-road. In general, I'm happy with the tires, and I recommend them. The only drawback is that the run-in process for studded tires is a hassle...

I've been using the tires for 3 months now, in a wide range of conditions, from Peter's asphalt to Murmansk's ice and snowdrifts. The tires are simply superb. Initially, I didn't understand when they would start to slide and lose grip, but now I can see that they can handle conditions that a normal winter driver wouldn't dare to venture into. You do need to be a bit more cautious and attentive when driving in the winter, but Continental takes care

Ran 4000 km, mostly on asphalt at sub-zero temperatures.
Driven a week on a snow (shallow)/ice cover at temperatures -7...-12°C.
No difference from CIC 2 on dry and wet roads noticed.
But on ice - yes, more traction and predictable vehicle behaviour.
In the lane on dry asphalt slightly "nervous", but stable, without jolts.

There still is noise, studs are a trade-off. Didn't see a huge difference between Hakkapeliitta 7 and these tires.
Handling on ice and snow is normal. On dry pavement like regular tires.

I purchased these tires on this website in March 2021, with a discount of 14,000 for the set. As recommended, I carefully ran in the tires for about 700 km. Thanks to this, it's probably the third season and not a single lost stud, although in Transbaikalia we only had a snowy winter. I bought studded tires because of the non-disableable TRC/VSC, so it was difficult to start moving on icy intersections in the city. But now it's okay, despite the slightly rounded studs (they are rectangular here, and when new, they also have an additional edge on the side). I'm very satisfied with the tires! How the car holds in turns, on descents and climbs (within reasonable limits, of course)! Especially in the first two seasons. On the highway, I drive at 120-140 without any tension. They also handle mud and rain quite well. On the specified snow, it's just great. By the way, after the first or second thousand kilometers, I noticed that there is noise from them only when braking, even on dry asphalt, you can hear it when you open the windows. I have 15-inch tires, regular studs, aluminum.

Terrible tires. Studs are flying out one two three (I drive not aggressively). After the third season, I had to re-stud with boxes of 500 pieces.

Excellent tires, my first studded ones (excluding company vehicles). I bought them based on tests in Za Rulem and other publications and I don't regret it. I ran them in carefully for about 500-600 km, then on the highway I was already going faster, in the fall. A couple of times I had to emergency brake (in the city). All the studs are still in place. But the best part is, of course, in winter, when it's -20-30 degrees Celsius and there's ice on the asphalt. It simply grips wonderfully, taking into account the laws of physics, of course. The sound of the studs, by the way, has decreased over time, only when the snow melts (and we don't have much of it), I feel sorry for them. It also handles well in slush, but that's in regular city driving.

I purchased these tires in size 235/55/18 based on reviews. For a new car, 2021, December, Siberia. I honestly went through the break-in period, since the car was also new. After approximately 5,000 km, the tires started to lose studs. After the first season, I lost around 190 studs from the set. The tires were made in Russia, my colleague bought similar ones in the same winter, made in Germany, with the same mileage, but visually they are completely different. The foreign-made ones are still intact, while the Russian ones have lost about 75% of their studs after 3.5 winters. As long as they were whole (not for long), the handling and comfort were great, but then it was a steady decline. We have 2 cars in the family, since 2019, one has been driving on Nokian Nordman 7, with 95% of the studs remaining, and the mileage is identical. I would not recommend these Russian-made tires to anyone!!!!
