Latest Continental IceContact 2 Reviews

Given 80% while driving a BMW 320d touring (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 12,000 average miles
I live in Dalarna, Sweden. Ideal winter tires for the region that I live.
Very comfortable and silent for studded tires.
Very good in dry for studded tires.
Very good snow grip.
Ice grip is good in the beginning. But after 2 seasons, its ice performance decreases but in acceptable level.

Given 83% while driving a Subaru Impreza (225/45 R16) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
Driving in East EU baltics, all kinds of condition. Very happy, good grip on worst roads. A bit loud on clean/dry roads cause of the chips.
Wet conditions are good but keep the tire pressure accurate. Handling was fine. Hard to drift cause of the grip.
Noisy on dry.
I recommend them more for mixed/country roads.
