These tires have been with the car since its purchase, and despite being 5 years old at the time, the wear was minimal. Two years of driving have yielded only positive emotions. During the winter season, approximately 20-25,000 km were driven on them.
Currently, the tread depth is 3-4 mm at the front and almost "even" at the rear, but their behavior is worthy. On dry and wet asphalt, they score 5+, are quiet, but my

I've run these tires for two winters on my previous car and I liked them a lot more than all the Bridgestones, Koreans and Chinese tires. Handling on snow roads is excellent. Doesn't make any noise on asphalt. Overall, it's safe and comfortable. I'd recommend them to everyone.

I've been using winter tires for 4 seasons. Initially, I chose a friction tire from the top three ( Za Rulem's non-studded tire test), with Nokian Hakkappelita R as the main competitor. I settled on ContiViking 5 and I don't regret it. They are economical and quiet tires. On packed snow and ice they behave predictably.

The tyres provided good grip in snowy and icy conditions. However, they tended to wear down quickly in warmer temperatures (particularly when driving abroad, as it's already warm in Europe in the winter and early spring, while we still have snow).
The tyres have very soft sidewalls, so be careful with curbs and potholes.

I've always trusted the German manufacturer - they usually go for quality!
I read about them on forums last fall, and there was a lot of feedback that the tires behave great on both snow and ice. Once I tried them myself, I finally made up my mind to give up the eternal studs in favour of these tires.

For the second year now, I've been using Continental VikingContact5 tyres. To be honest, it was my husband who chose the tyres for me, as I don't understand anything about tyres, but he said they were good, German tyres. For me the main thing is that the car doesn't slide on ice, doesn't skid in the mud and doesn't get stuck in the snow. My husband says that I'll still be able to drive on these tyres next winter as well.

At the beginning of the year, I decided to try out the Continental VikingContact 5. And now, I can already draw the first conclusions about how they performed. Of course, these are city tires. In the village, these tires are useless, they drive poorly on deep snow. But in the city, I didn't have better tires! On any road, whether it's snow, rain, or ice, I felt very comfortable and confident with them. I especially want to highlight the traction

I have a driving experience of almost 23 years now and I'm currently driving my fifth car, a Hyundai SantaFe. I've tried a wide range of tires throughout my driving career, but there's no doubt that the best tires I've ever had are the Continental Viking Contact 5. These are all-season tires that surprisingly suit any conditions and meet my expectations in all respects. Let's start with comfort. The tires are very soft and quiet. Even on asphalt, they're extremely quiet and

Given the extremely changeable weather we have in our country, it is very difficult to choose normal tyres for the car that will feel well today on the rain and tomorrow already on the ice. I managed to find such - Continental Viking Contact 5. These are friction tyres, otherwise "sticky". I have been driving on them for the third season already, and I have no claims at all. Yes, the tyres are indeed of very high quality, wear-resistant, with perfect grip on the road,
