Tyre reviews Continental ContiVikingContact 7. Page 8 560

Excellent "treaded" tyres!!!
For my operating conditions - the city and the highway, they are great.
1. At -10 degrees and below on the highway up to 110 km/h you simply enjoy the silence and comfort, grip and hold the course splendidly. 130-150 is quite a reliable cruising speed, when you simply drive and adequately control the road. Above 150 km/h I personally don't feel comfortable.
2. At "

Quiet. Medium softness. Performs well on snow, ice - not for her.

But all of this was predictable. However, I was unpleasantly surprised by its poor handling on mud - leans to the sides. Aquaplaning

What can I say about these tires? They are absolutely silent! No rumble, no noise whatsoever. At first, I drove feeling like I was just riding a mattress. On asphalt and on a lightly worn "cushion", handling is excellent, on a snowy "cushion" there are occasional surprises in the form of small slips during cornering (again, all depends on speed). But overall, nowhere else did I slip or skid, on the snowy, icy road, I

For a big city without sharp hills, where road conditions are monitored - perfectly fine!
In icy alleys - no studs, of course, but not once have I been stressed out.
On an icy highway - perfectly okay. And if you don't turn on your head, studs won't help either.
The only question is - I have noticed a couple of times the behavior at speeds above 100 on highways with heavily sanded lanes.

Extremely satisfied with the tire, exceeded all my expectations. Thanks for the new technology. I would highly recommend to all who drive on snow!!!!!

Good tires!

All clear - I recommend!!!!

Advantages: Drives perfectly in a snowless rut. Does not throw the car. That's all

Disadvantages: In snow and on ice, it's just awful. There is something to compare with. Semi-bald Bridgestone tires were better than this new one. Very disappointed

I was considering switching from studded tires to non-studded tires for winter seasons for a long time. I drive a Ford Focus 3, front-wheel drive. The tires are impeccable! I will never buy studded tires for myself again. Of course, you need to drive carefully, as every tire has its Achilles' heel and for non-studded tires, it's ice. On other road surfaces, they behave predictably.

Good tires, handling snow very well. On ice, you need to be a bit more careful and attentive. Low noise level, braking on asphalt and snow is decent. I recommend.
