These tires came equipped on my 2011Ford Transit van. They drive just fine (when clean), the handling is fine (when clean). Unfortunately these tires have proven to be the worst tire I have ever experienced or seen for grabbing, and holding small rocks and gravel in it's tread, therefore becoming the noisiest ride I have ever encountered. All it takes is driving about on a typical town's roadways to fill up the tread with small rocks that will not disengage even at 60 mph highway speeds. I figured it to be a warranty issue, but the brilliant Ford dealer said that I should not drive on gravel with these tires. Now considering that asphalt accounts for almost all paved surfaces, and that the surface of that asphalt is GRAVEL, there is no way to avoid this situation. So much for a quiet ride the data sheet brags about. Ford will not swap for different tires, even under warranty. I will try to get Continental to swap them next, hopefully they will own up to their poor tread design. If I were shopping for tires, I would pass this model by.

This tire came in with my 2017 Honda Civic Sport hatchback. Fast forward to Sept 2019 going home to NJ from a trip to NY along the NJ turnpike to which I did not see the pothole at the turnpike, my front left/driver side hit it and then immedialtely my TPMS light turned on. The steering wheel started to shake and I knew after that the tire was badly damaged. If it was a different brand, it could have sustained that amount of impact, but for the Continental, it was a failure. Only positive side of this tire was the good fuel economy that I got from it.

2012 Ford Focus SE. These tires came as OME. The car is very quiet except for the tires. Around 20 mph they start to whine and by 50 mph they are the noisiest part of the car. As far as other noises, if you start out from a dead stop with any kind of steering angle, you get a nice chirp from one of the tires if you start out at any speed than a dead crawl. Come winter I will have these pulled off the rims and will put on real snow tires. these I will sell and come spring will get tires designed for summer traction. that should get rid of the chirps. And I will research for tires that do not whine.

Do not expect a lot of milleage. Fantastic grip on dry and wet road. Great.

The tires came on my Saab and they only have 20,000 miles on them and are noisy and poor handling.

I have these on my Mercedes-Benz and they handle great, are amazing in adverse weather and make for a smooth, quiet ride.

This tire handled great. However the life was far too short. 200+ a tire should get better than 20,000 miles

These tires stick like glue wet or dry. Very quiet and comfortable. Very stable at high speeds. I have these on my 2011 BMW 328x drive.

mad at vw for making this tire oem.first two went at 21,000 miles,second two at 26,000.very,very noisy.

Great ride! Seems like an excellent tire for the money. Waiting for the snow to fall to judge traction more efficiently.
