So, friends, the wheels are installed. Just as ordered, it snowed about 10 cm on the day of installation and froze. I'd like to share my first impressions. The tires are fantastically comfortable, the feeling is that there are no wheels, and the car is simply floating over the road, I still can't believe that the tire can be so quiet and soft. But there are also some minuses - the car's handling is not very good - there is a feeling of

I've purchased Continental tires before and every product has left a positive impression. Unfortunately, this particular tire has slightly disappointed me. There's a tendency to lock up on dry winter roads, aquaplaning is quite pronounced, control on ice and snow is weak. In my opinion, the manufacturer's claimed characteristics are exaggerated and this product is better suited to European winters, but it's definitely not suitable for our climate, despite the manufacturer stating it's designed for Nordic winters. The positives include good straight

Krasnoyarsk region. I have been using Continental tyres for a long time, having previously tried five other brands. I have driven on Continental's winter tyres, ContiVikingContact (Germany manufacturer), for approximately 150,000 km. I have not encountered any comments or complaints. Safety and reliability are the main characteristics of these tyres on winter roads.

Excellent model for high safety. Over 200,000km on these tires, no complaints. Grip on the road is great. No oversteer, always feels a safe edge. Medium soft and long lasting, over 50,000km. All tires were made in Germany.

Good tread for half season, dry roads, wet - great, on icy and compacted snow it's still acceptable like all tyres, but in spring and autumn you'll feel like kings of the road - it's great, brakes well and is not noisy. In -2 -3 degrees on dry asphalt I drove for over 200 and everything was under control. In the country in snowy winter and if the road is not clean well, then look for a stud.

Minus:
If the snow is dense, blown and you drive onto it with your tires, plus turning, you may slide even at a low speed. You need to turn the wheel right away, so you won't slide.
At +5 on the highway at speeds above 90km/h, the car will slightly sway from side to side when shifting from one lane to another. At such speeds, you start to worry about the lives of those around you

In October 2017, I purchased Continental ContiVikingContact 6 205/55 R16 91T RF tires.

Soft, quiet and excellent ice traction from the get-go. Also handled well in the snow. However, on wet and slippery roads, the car tends to wheelspin, but the electronics quickly and smoothly intervene to regain traction. I am very pleased with this tire.
