How happy are you with the Viking Contact 7? I'm close to ordering them.
I need quiet tires, with occasional snow driving.
Hi, I put them on at the start of November and they have given me no cause for concern so far. On snowy/slippery tarmac they feel good to me and do their job grip-wise. Noise has not been bothersome at all.
I have a TPMS question for those of you who have a second set of tires for winter: how do you deal with TPMS? Do you switch them between wheel sets or did you get a second set? If you got a second set, where did you get them from and how do you switch the Defender to picking them up? Thanks for any insights. I'm about to get a second set of wheels and trying to figure that out as I assemble what I want. Thanks for any insights.

Tire shop ordered OEM TPMS sensors for the second set of wheels. There are universal ones that supposedly work just fine too. Pressures registered immediately.
I picked up a second set of five OEM wheels from eBay (20") and mounted them with Nokian Hakkapeliittas and new TPS sensors. Ran the Hakks on my previous Sport and loved them and this most recent set did not disappoint during a recent snow storm.

I have been running a second set of dedicated winter wheels and snow tires since my first RR Sport. I always picked up a second set of TPS sensors when doing so. Most recently, found some compatible black-stemmed sensors on eBay and no issues so far (installer just drove the Defender a short distance until they were recognized).
