Tyre reviews Continental ContiVikingContact 5. Page 2 133

I've completed one season so far. Before that, I only drove on the spiked tires during the winter. Initially, there was a certain moment of doubt, which was replaced by complete enthusiasm. This was especially due to the low noise level and especially after I managed to pull out a Lada Lada stuck in the snow with my studs. Although these tires do lag slightly behind in terms of traction compared to the spiked tires on icy roads, and you do need to be more careful in the turns

I should start by saying that I work with tires and know exactly what to look for when choosing one.

The CVC5 is the best non-studded tire I know of in terms of price-to-quality ratio. For me, noise characteristics and comfort have always been important, and I must admit that after reequipping - it seemed suspiciously quiet. They are made very qualitatively. The components of the rubber itself are selected with German precision - it does not become stiff in

I drove for three seasons on a Mercedes C200 (2005) with 205.55.16 and an Audi A4 (2010) with 225.55.16. I sold them after each season and bought new ones again. I enjoyed it! Very grippy, quiet and soft. It handles bumps well! Not a single cut! I wanted to buy it again for my new car, but I couldn't find it in size 235.40.18. Before this

Very good on snow and ice. Dug out quickly (on automatic!!!) from loose snow. Went up the ice hill almost on par with the Niva (with 4x4 engaged), was pushed a bit at the end. But on wet asphalt, especially if there are rolled-out ruts in the asphalt - like a *** in a hole. Same story on snow. I.e. doesn't hold side traction at all. But VERY quiet.

There are no negative words, one negative

They brake well, acceleration is also excellent. But directional stability is completely absent at speeds from 80, they go wherever they want, and if the rut starts to jump from side to side, I've never felt so unconfident behind the wheel. I had Toyo Garit before, in general, not bad for the money, but on Oswalt, they don't brake (at all). Gislaved Frost 3 is an

Not bad at all))) You just need to be patient until they run in

When I bought them in early December, it was still warm in Krasnodar. They were assembled and for 3 weeks I drove in the warm weather.... I was terribly upset ((( because the car was skidding... the tilts were terrible... and it was like that for the first 400-500 km. THEN THE CAR WAS LIKE REPLACED! The tires started to hold the road! Dec

I'm buying this tire model for my second car and can confidently say that it's one of the best winter non-studded tire models. The handling on winter roads is ideal, it's comparable to summer tires in terms of noise, and the lateral stability on turns is excellent. In general, driving a car in winter on these tires is fully predictable! The price is a bit high, but it's worth it!

Great, soft winter tires!
Before that, I was constantly stuck on the side of the road (rear-wheel drive).
With Continental tires I never had any problem pulling out from the side of the road when driving through deep snow or on icy roads.

Excellent winter tires. Very soft even in extreme cold. Traction on icy, snowy and other typical winter road conditions is excellent. I'm still satisfied over 8 years.

Only a weak point are the sidewalls, Couple of times I had to change the tire due to side impacts on sharp objects.

I bought this tire after reading a glowing review and calling it the best non-studded tire. Oh, what a letdown! It's not a tire, it's one big disappointment. The first thing I noticed is that it's impossible to drive in even the slightest pothole. The steering wheel just rips out of your hands and the car is always trying to swerve out of the lane. On both dry and wet asphalt, the performance is mediocre, and in Moscow's conditions,
