Reviews of Continental tires

I’ve been running VikingContacts for my winter setup and don’t regret them at all. Have been great tires for my MK7 R in the midwest winter, especially with all the snow we got last year.

I recently swapped the Potenzas on my ‘24 IS350 F Sport to the DWS06+ and I love them a lot more than the Potenzas, way more grippier from my experience.

I put on Continental DWS06 tires in 245/40R18 and ran them the last 2 winters. They are good all around. But I feel they lack grip on sharp turns and don’t turn in as much as I would like (in snow). They aren’t fantastic on ice either. They are good if you are going to run one tire all year round. But after the wear to the point the “S” is no longer visible, I imagine the will not do great in the winter and you’ll have to replace them sooner.

Eu am de 3 ani de zile pe una dintre masini, Continental All season Contact 2. Am facut drumuri la munte pe zapada, ploi de toamna si vara, mers in Austria, Grecia, Turcia la drum lung, rulate in București pe canicula si pot spune ca nu regret nicio clipa decizia luată. Nu este nicio diferență sesizabila intre un all season premium si o anvelopa dedicată de sezon.

Used to run the 7 which was incredible and the 8 is even better.

I love continentals. Had Apollo, Goodyear, Ceats and MRF and the Continental stood out the most. Amazing handling.

I have Continentals on my Nexon rn. They have already done 15k kms. Much better than the stock Bridgestones that I had. Noticeably less vibrations and noise. Zero punctures till date.

Are the Viking Contacts worth it? Yes. Are they the end-all-be-all for a minivan? No.

I used to have winter tires that were much much worse than continental all seasons tires.

I have 2 years of experience with Continental all seasons in Poland, and difference is insane. The car drives like shit tbh both in winter, and in summer comparing to winter/summer tires.
