The Viking WinTech demonstrated notable drawbacks on dry roads, resulting in an overall low safety rating. Its steering response lacked precision, requiring frequent corrections during turns and sudden maneuvers, which compromised driver confidence. On wet and winter surfaces, the tire performed moderately, with average braking distances and acceptable handling. However, its hydroplaning resistance, particularly laterally, was insufficient. The tire struggled with traction on snow, showing early understeer and instability in demanding conditions. Despite these performance limitations, the WinTech excelled in efficiency, boasting high tread life, low weight, and minimal fuel consumption, making it a durable and economical choice for less demanding driving environments.

Occupying the 19th position and falling under the category of conditionally recommended, the Viking WinTech tires demonstrate effective performance in snow conditions and are attractively priced. However, they are hampered by extended braking distances on both dry and wet pavement, and exhibit increased rolling resistance. Furthermore, their resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning is less than optimal, affecting overall driving safety in wet conditions.

Viking WinTech was totally weak on wet pavement alone.
