Whether in powder or ice, it feels confident: everything happens in slow mo and I get pretty straightforward outcomes from steering corrections.
Road feel on dry pavement is for sure a bit squishy but seems acceptable.
Edit: They are 155/70/19 which likely skews the characteristics some  |
My local 1010Tire said VikingContact7 isn’t really suitable for our lower mainland roads - something about them slipping more than average in rain/snow.
My x-ice snow does well as intended. It’s my second car with them and never had problems with them.
