  • The Continental ContiVikingContact 8 emerged as the overall winner of the test. This Nordic non-studded tire successfully maintained the excellent ice and snow performance of its predecessor while significantly improving wet performance, particularly in aquaplaning resistance. It increased the top speed before aquaplaning by 5 km/h compared to the CVC 7, addressing a common weakness in Nordic non-studded tires. The CVC 8 also excelled in rolling resistance, being the most fuel-efficient tire in the test. It provided a good balance of comfort and stability on the road, representing a well-executed evolution that maintains strengths and addresses previous weaknesses.
