Tyre reviews Continental ContiVikingContact 7. Page 20 564

Pros: very quiet - like summer tires, good on snow, robust against impacts

The main and biggest con - does not get along with ice at all, does not hold on to it, not even a bit, even at the lowest speed in a parking lot after pressing the brake, it simply slides like on summer tires!!! For such a brand level and price, this is unacceptable!

Of course, I realize that these are not studded tires and I don't expect miracles on ice, but I have something to compare with. Three years ago, I drove on 16-inch tires with Nokian Hakkapeliitta, I was fully satisfied, completely different grip on ice, and now with 18-inch tires, a much wider profile, the result is disappointing, unfortunately, I have thoughts of removing and selling them…

The tires are excellent, very comfortable for driving, quiet, and good on snow

Super

The tyre is very comfortable, quieter and softer than the summer one (be careful on potholes and curbs). Of course, when I took it I was expecting new sensations from the new generation, but unfortunately, there are none. Everything is predictable, it's not suitable for ice, the steering is on 4 on snow, but somehow it's not very confident, while the slush, rain, and dry road are very comfortable. It will be suitable for the city, but outside

Good tires, definitely worth the money. I got 195/65R15 for my Vesta. On snow all better than Goodyear UltraGrip Ice2 I drove for the last years (in my opinion - the leader in price/quality ratio), on asphalt roughly the same, on ice hard to say, maybe a bit better.

Very impressed with the traction of the tires. My first "grip" after studs... and very surprised by the grip on snow, excellent grip on winter asphalt in the city and on the highway. Recommend.

A very respectable tire for a budget, very comfortable, quiet, excellent braking on snow, dry asphalt, and wet asphalt, also good braking on ice for a budget tire, the main thing is predictability, rated based on my driving experience of over 26 years.

The 215/55R17 tyre has a tread pattern that is identical to the 215/55R16 tyre.

Excellent tyres; perform very well on slippery wet roads.

Excellent tires, especially this winter. I mainly drive in the city, and felt no lack of traction with studs. On the contrary, for St. Petersburg, I think "studless" is the most suitable option. On snowy mush and wet ice, it brakes confidently and predictably. My tires are made in Germany.
