Specifications
CONTINENTAL VIKINGCONTACT 8
CONTINENTAL VIKINGCONTACT 8 245/45R18 100T XL — quality All season tyre from CONTINENTAL. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
Efficient, just shy of the top. The CONTINENTAL VIKINGCONTACT 8 carries a B rating, the second band on the EU scale. Rolling resistance is still low, and in normal driving the gap from a class A tyre is small enough that you'd barely notice it at the pump.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Below average. The CONTINENTAL VIKINGCONTACT 8 is rated D for wet grip. It handles rain, but stopping distances on wet roads run noticeably longer than the higher grades. Worth keeping in mind if you often drive in heavy weather — leave a bit more room when it's wet.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
Fairly quiet. The CONTINENTAL VIKINGCONTACT 8 comes in at 69 dB, just under the average for this kind of tyre. Day to day it stays unobtrusive; only rough tarmac brings the noise forward.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The CONTINENTAL VIKINGCONTACT 8 carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
Are these tyres certified for snow?
Yes. The CONTINENTAL VIKINGCONTACT 8 carries the 3PMSF mark — the three-peak mountain snowflake — which a tyre only gets after passing an official snow-braking test. It counts as a proper winter tyre in countries where winter tyres are required by law, and it's a real measure of snow performance, not just the softer M+S label that makes no promise about grip.
CONTINENTAL is a premium class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
