About This Tire

The Continental VikingContact 7 275/55R20 is a studless winter tire designed for drivers of sedans, crossovers, coupes and minivans who prioritize enhanced winter confidence and reliable all-weather performance during cold months. Its tread design and compound focus on maintaining flexibility in ice and snow while providing secure handling across various winter conditions.

The tire features a specialized Nordic compound that incorporates canola oil to remain pliable in freezing temperatures, combined with active grip silica for improved wet performance and braking. The intelligent tread pattern includes an optimized groove network designed to evacuate water and slush efficiently, while solid linkages and interlocked block bridges stabilize the pattern for confident tracking. Driver feedback points to strong performance across wet and dry conditions, with particularly high marks for comfort and overall handling predictability.

Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes winter traction and cold-weather flexibility over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for crossovers and sedans used primarily for daily driving in regions with regular snow, ice, and winter weather conditions.
