Tires Continental or OEM FORD

Based on Tirerack reviews, I'm leaning towards the Continental Vikingcontact7 which I'll use from Thanksgiving until early March. Anyone tried these tires? If so, how would you rate them?

Vikingcontact7s. Not the absolute best tires out there, but I think the best for the price

If you want an all season, you can’t go wrong with Continental, or the Pilot Sport 4s summer tire like most suggest.

My 2016 came with Dunlops that were garbage, replaced them at 25k with Continental DWS06s and it was like getting a brand new car. Highly recommend.

I'm running Continental DWSO6+'s and absolutely love them. I'm at stock size and got them for $640. I just drove during winter storm Izzy, and have zero complaints.

Personally, I went with the Continentals three weeks ago and love them.

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.

Recently replaced my worn out 18 inch Primaxys (36000 miles) with the Continental DWS06s. It looks like a 5-10% efficiency drop versus the stock tires. I think they are a little quieter on the highway though. Bumps do have a reverb sound the stocks didn't have.

I did go with the Conti DWS initially. Hated the noise they made (see my post earlier). I like the P-Zero much better.
