Basically sprinting from Mary Hill ->Pitt Meadows -> Golden Ears -> 1 West in those conditions after spending four hours stuck in the worst of it, I lost my mind a bit trying to hurry home.

I would definitely buy these tires again and recommend them to others.

My gf's car has Viking Contact 7 (second season) and I also had Viking Contact 7 on my old work car last season and they were amazing. I would consider them to be the best bang for your buck as far as dedicated winter tires go. Did notice it's not as good on ice than X-ice Snow but they do cost a bit more depending on sizing.
