conditionally recommended
Ranked #19 of 20

Finishing 19th out of 20, the Viking WinTech secured a final rating of 'Conditionally recommended'. The tyre is appreciated for its cost-effective winter profile with commendable performance on snow. However, it falls short when it comes to wet grip, displaying limited safety margins during aquaplaning and longer braking distances on dry surfaces. This performance outlines its strengths and areas for improvement, emphasizing its conditional recommendation for users.
