I will probably need new snows on BMW next season. Will definitely go with it if available.
New in 2024: Continental VikingContact 8 Studless Winter Tire
- Thread starter SubLGT
- Start date
Me too.
me three except it likely wont be until fall 2026 now.. The elantra has had 100 miles since december 24th..
so the near end of useable winter life viking contact 7's( bought in 2019)
will likely go another year this would have been their 6th winter. (bought 11-2019)
Unless there is a deal then I'll replace them early.. because we will probably only have the car another 4-5 years so why not enjoy another set of new ones.
They are definitely hardening a little but still good traction. 6.5/32 depth.
Looks like USA based online tire dealer Tires Easy will be selling the VikingContact 8.

Click Bait! The video is on VC7 and when you do a tire search there are no VC8's .....yet.
I have one vehicle (maybe 2) that will need new next year so definitely watching. One is on VC7 now, the other WinterContact Si.
I managed to get a set for my Mazda CX-30. They are made in Germany.
It's going be 90 degrees here next week and yet....I'm still jealous right now.

Aleluja, Praise the Lord!
Now we need TyreReviews to test against others as well the other various test places.
Then the sale deals, service if needed decisions. My sons Forte will need new if we get them. It's in VA now and not sure how many trips back to NY he will do. He has 1 year old, low mileage TrueContact Tour on it currently. He also lives 1/2 mile from his job IF they would be open during a snow event.
Pilot will need new ones so VC8 strong contender along with X-ice Snow.

I will need for BMW next winter, not this one. Tiguan might need too. VC7 on Sequoia since November, so it will be 2-3yrs.
I think I might get them for BMW. I believe it will be an improvement over VC7.
Deutschland uber alles!On page 3 of this thread I posted links to 2 tests of the VC8 done in 2024, in Sweden and Norway. See my posts #54 and #59.
