16-10-2017, 09:10 AM #6conti viking contact 5. with all the tyres i have had on over the winters these are by far the best ever. even under braking they do not slide or lose traction.
During the summer I have had both Toyo Proxes T1r and Falken 452, both are good tyres to be fair 225/40/18 i would aire to the Toyo's for a bit stickier rubber..
