Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

We put the Viking 7’s on my wife’s FWD Tiguan and it’s been crushing these last two Wisconsin winters. Very pleased with them so far.

We put the Viking Contact 7's on our 2021 Golf. My 2019 Golf R has Nokian Haka R2's. Winter performance for the two tires is basically indistinquishable to me, which is very high praise as the Nokians have long been considered the best winter tire money can buy. The fact that the VC's are so much cheaper means that if I had to buy new winter tires right now for the R I would for sure get the VC's. Can't go wrong with them.

Had a DWS06, which I wore off.

Bought DWS06+, still riding those.

Excellent snow, ice and wet weather traction. Never had issues!

I'm very happy with mine too. Many years with Blizzaks and I think these are better for road nose, just as good in the snow.

I just got my 2022 Golf R and the dealership put those exact tires on for me and they are great!

I'm running VikingContact7 on the wife's Passat, and I have Hakkapeliitta R3 on my Alltrack. I figure when the R3 get replaced next fall VikingContact7 will replace them. They are excellent on snow and ice and very quiet. I've driven thru stuff on them that after I get thru I realize I probably should have been more careful, but didn't notice a thing a the time. I don't do that with the Hakkapeliittas.

I'm running the Conti VIkingContact7s. I had them on my 2019 and the dealership transferred them over to the new car for me since they're the same size. I've been very happy with them over the past two winters. They will definitely give up some dry weather handling to something like a PA4, but they're excellent on snow and ice. They're also reasonably quiet for a winter tire as well.

I have the extreme contacts dws 06 plus in a 225 45 17 and i love them, super grippy even in the rain and ive put almost 3000 miles on the set and they look like new still

My OEM ecopias made it to 46k Not any abnormal noise, wear, etc. Not great tires, except for mpg. Would never buy them myself. Horrible in any type of snow

My gp4000's popped CONSTANTLY. Got a hole in the sidewalls in less than 500 miles.
