- 205/55 R16 V
Hello, I fitted 4 of these to my Astra estate in 205/55r16 94v. My previous front tires were Firestone Roadhawk and were the worst tires I have on the front my review on those is available to read... they were awful. My rears were Marshall KH35 and were brilliant but I cant get them anymore so i opted for the Viking Newgen's to try out.
I have to say these tires have been great to drive on in the last 900 plus miles, they feel like they are actually made out of rubber compared driving on the Firestones, they do not squeal on corners or bends they hold the car true and the are extremely comfortable. In the wet they are very good on the road and the dry grip is spot on, my driving style is press on and I do push the car a bit.
I went for the extra load for a change and I run the pressures 3 psi above base around town.
I cant comment on the wear yet but I will when the time comes for that, new the tires are 8.3mm deep. Last week we came back from a long week end down in Cornwall and did just over 670 miles the tires preformed very well on all types of roads and high speeds on the motorway dry and wet.
Now then the Viking website does need updating and needs to show more information, finding reviews was quite hard so I had to search more into European drivers to get what I needed before I chose them.
All I can say so far on my Astra they are very good and I am well pleased with my purchase, this might change as the miles build up but I will report that as well.
