Viking Wintech Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 14 reviews

Drivers generally find the Viking Wintech a strong budget winter tire with very good snow/ice performance, decent wet/dry grip for normal driving, and solid wear. Comfort is praised, though several note higher road noise and softer/less precise handling. A few long-term users report the compound hardening and reduced wet/snow grip after multiple seasons, but most high-scoring reviews remain positive overall.

Very good budget tire. Excellent grip in dry, wet and snow. Wear seems pretty good.

Only downside for me is the noise.

Recommend this tire if you are on a tight budget.

You can't compare these tires with an A brand like Conti or Michelin.
For a low budget these Vikings are the best winter tires I have driven.
Excellent comfort, and wet grip.
Road feedback and handling are nowhere near the A brand tires, but not as bad as I make it sound.
Wear is good.

Only thing I didn't like was the road noise they make, energy label is also pretty low. Not very economic tires.

All in all, very good tires if you have a low budget. Can recommend!
