Tyre reviews Continental ContiVikingContact 7. Page 6 560

It performed very well on dry and wet asphalt. On ice and snow - like a regular winter tire, you can drive and brake, but with caution.

These tires were on a W Tiguan 2 when purchased from OD. I'm satisfied with the tires. After the second season, in my opinion, they've become a bit noisier, but they still handle the road just as well. The remaining tread after 2 seasons is probably still around 50% in my opinion. I sold them used and bought new ones just like them.

Wonderful tires! Quiet, comfortable, with excellent handling and predictable car behavior. No complaints, on two CX-9, I have driven over 40,000 km on these tires without any issues. Excellent performance on snow, in ruts, and on asphalt. On pure ice, they hold quite confidently, but don't forget that these are still friction tires)

Excellent tires. On asphalt roads 5+, like in summer. Makes less noise than my summer tires. On snow 5+ - the car drives like a tank until it's on its belly. On bare ice, braking is not very good, you need to consider this when choosing your speed. Overall, the tires were very impressive.

Excellent tires. Riding on studded tires for the first time. I thought the grip would be worse, but nothing of the kind. It holds perfectly, and most importantly, it's quiet after the studded tires.

I've always been a fan of studded tires on front-wheel drive vehicles. But the noise and loss of traction were getting on my nerves. Previously, I've driven non-studded tires - Bridgestone Blizaak Revo GZ, DM V1, DM V2, Nokian HKPL R2 - on other four-wheel drive cars. But now I've decided to try them on a front-wheel drive vehicle. I purchased Continental Viking 7 and experienced absolute delight. The best winter tires available today.

On snow and ice, they are no worse than top-of-the-line studded tires. A high-quality and safe tire. Ideal comfort, no noise whatsoever. I highly recommend them to everyone. Perhaps the best non-studded Scandinavian-type tires available today.

For the tread, it's not bad at all, but studded tires are still better. If you drive straight, everything is fine! It brakes and accelerates well! In turns, you have to drive slower. If you want to put the car sideways on a turn, this tire won't let you do it! Skidding is unmanageable and strongly depends on the snow cover and its changes! Wheel spin is contraindicated for these tires. With studs, in this case, everything is predictable!

So, this is the second winter on these tires and I can already write a review. Among the advantages: quiet, for a 45 profile soft, wet asphalt - no questions, like on rails, dry and cold asphalt - also like on rails. But aquaplaning - you need to know the speed limit. The tread is dense and there's not much to divert water. Ice - as expected, not good, it's not studded tires. Snow - the tread pattern is clearly for European winter and it's not supposed to plow. The grip on snow is good, but it won't dig - the tread is not for that. So you need to be careful with the gas. Dose the gas and everything will be fine. Checked :)

In general, a good tire for city use, provided that your roads are cleaned. Use your head, keep a distance and don't exceed the speed limit, and the tire won't let you down.

Great tires. Soft, quiet. It feels like they're quieter than summer tires)
The tires came from Germany, 30th week of 21, which I'm very happy about.
On asphalt, both acceleration and braking are problem-free. The same applies to rolled snow. So far, the only issue is ice ruts. They toss the car around.
But overall, excellent tires.

Switched from studded tires to this friction tire. It's the best solution. The road holding is amazing. It brakes and starts on ice perfectly!
