Tyre reviews Continental ContiIceContact XTRM 21

The tires are good for their price
Minus to the store, the description said 2023 tires, but in fact, they are 2021

Nice tire, I was pleasantly surprised!
It copes perfectly with the abundance of water on the highway, snowy slush.
Does not roar like an airplane, handling is clear
Operation 60 highway 40 city

Hello everyone; The tires are not bad, there is some noise, but it's barely audible, it doesn't bother me even with the window slightly open, and if I close it, I don't hear any noise at all. The braking and acceleration are excellent, overall I'm satisfied with the tires.

On ice - excellent.
Snow with ice - excellent.
Snow slush - normal.
Ice with rain - excellent.
Not too noisy, not critical for studs, previously had Michelin X-Ice North 4, didn't notice the difference.

Excellent tire, grips well, two seasons of mileage on them 35-40 thousand.

Over the entire period of operation, I lost only 1 stud. I drive all over the Tula region, there were snowfalls, and frosts -25-28, in general, both warm and cold.

It drives well on ice, brakes well.

The production date is 2021, there is no fresher one in our country.

The only minus is the Russian stud, by the end of the second season, the studs were already worn down to the base, the studs are ordinary round ones, not very durable material, apparently, the Continental brand studs should be a star (I will attach a photo) on this model. In general, as they say, ours can spoil the tire with savings.

I previously had Michelin Nord 4 (excellent tire, drove 3 seasons 50-55 thousand km, not a big loss of studs, the stud seat around the studs was well broken, but the studs were not worn out), Michelin Nord 3 (there was a defect with the studs flying out and breaking, exchanged under warranty), Gislaved NF100 (good tire for the city, highway quiet soft, like a lippmann, for those who want a lippmann but are afraid, don't compare with NF200 Russia, complete crap), Hakkapeliitta 7 (real, excellent tire, unfortunately, it's no longer available, Nordman is not the same), Haka 5 (after Haka 7 seems not so outstanding, but above Cordian, Medved, etc.), I compare only with the tires I drove personally, and not like many write, my neighbor said, I heard, the tire shop said good (from these words, I'm generally furious), guys from the tire shop can tell you that the tire is good or not, and that's it, how it drives, how it behaves, they will never tell you the truth, because they simply don't know, and no matter what you do, they will tell you, good tire, that's all...

I would buy Conti HTRM again, provided that it will be fresh, with a production date, brand studs, and an adequate price. 225-65-17 I bought for 9300 balls, Michelin Nord 4 in this size 20000 balls.

P.S. There are questions and doubts about the new Ikon, I think it's far from Nokian, there will be savings on the composition of the tire, studs, and at crazy prices.

Good tires, I liked them. I've been driving on Continental studded tires since 1998, haven't seen anything better for winter yet.

Handles perfectly on icy roads, well-packed snow roads are excellent. Not noisy on asphalt, I recommend buying. Balanced easily, minimal weights, no more than 30 grams. In size 225/65 R17.

Excellent tires, performed well in a snowstorm with wet snow, and on snow, size 215/70 R16 float at speeds over 130. Tires from 20 and 21 years arrived

I'm completely satisfied with the purchase, the price-quality ratio is beyond praise.
I will definitely recommend it for purchase.
After installation, I repeatedly got into heavy snowfalls, the tire showed itself only from the best side.

A bit noisy, but very grippy on ice and snow.
