I don't understand all the review for poor treadlife. My 2009 Ford Fusion came with the ContiPro and I have racked up 70,000 of mixed highway long-distance driving and inner city. I am so pleased with this tire, I am buying it again! Maybe it is the driver - not the tire that determines the wear.

I now have 69,934 miles on my 2010 Subaru Outback with original tires. 80% highway miles. They are rotated at 5,000 to max 10,000 miles and have been balanced 3times. I need to replace in the next 60 days and will probably get another set of Contiprocontact. Hoping to get another 70K.

Purchase the car new with these tires. 67,500 miles and still have decent tread - maybe 5,000 more. I do not notice much road noise over other tires I've had on other cars. No noticible problems with traction, balance/vibration. No snow experience (Raleigh, NC location).

I bought these tires to put on my wife's 05 Mustang Convertible. Not as an aggressive tire as the Eagles that were replaced, but much better ride quality with plenty of good handling characteristics. If you are not really looking for a 'Hot-rod" type tire, but want a decent looking, well handling tire at a great price; this tire's for you.

I don't have amazing things to say about these tires. They are quieter than the Falcon's I had on my 2003 Corolla and the grip IS better. I have NO complaints about them and the price was right. My local shop set me up with them ( I trust them) and I am satisfied. I would recommend them without question.

I don't know what happened to the quality of Continental Tires but my tires wore completely out around 30,000 miles. Even after regular rotation and inflation checks they just don't last. On the upside they are very quiet on the road and provide good traction in wet conditions.

I had these as OEM on my 2006 VW Jetta and I just now repalced them with the same tire at 55k miles. There are many reviews from VW owners saying thet these tirees only lasted 20k, but mine lasted over 50k on three different cars and multiple sets. Maybe it is the driving style or bad run of tires, but my expereince has always been positive with these tires on all of the VW's I have owned.

I think these tires works best for certain cars like BMW the E90 3-series, etc. I guess the auto and tire manufacture develops and tests the suspension together with this product. I had the Bridge Stones OEM Run Flat when I first got my BMW back in 06. They are trash after driven only for about 20,000miles, worn out almost, super noisy, feel like I was riding on rims only. Comparably, these Conti provide overall better handling, comfort, less road noise, regardless they are new or driven over 40,000miles. The tread wear is better than many other recommend OEM tires for BMWs with better pricing too. Traction is okay even for rainy days, and occasional trip on snow during the winters. That said, it may not be a good choice for other cars, say Honda Odyssey. They also required Run Flats, but may work better with other brands vice-versa, like those Bridge Stones.

These tires were OE on my 2006 BMW 330 XI. I got over 70,000 miles out of them. When it came time to replace them I decided go with another set. They're very sticky, also smooth and quiet. Exactly what you want on a BMW. The tires also do well in moderate snow.

Conti ProContact SSR (runflat) tires were original equipment on our 2007 BMW 328xit. Having bought Contis for over 35 years for cars and motorcycles, I was glad to see it. On the first set of tires we had comfort along with great performance (enhanced by the Sport Pack and a manual transmission), excellent fuel efficiancy and above all, a perfect fit with all-wheel-drive . In winter, it is not unusual to pass SUVs that are stuck in snow. Early 2010 saw some big snow fall on the East Coast and the tires were up to the task of getting us where we wanted to go. We never hesitated to head out in any kind of weather. This past Fall some long distance fishing trips were planned. While the tread, at +40,000 miles, was serviceable I decided to replace the Contis anyway. What a difference fresh rubber makes! So much so that I called the tire distributer to verify that I mounted the runflats (which can be a bit harsh) rather than the smoother riding non-runflat tires. They confirmed the proper tire (the SSR on the sidewall indicates the tire is a runflat). If you're holding on to tires to get the very last drop of tread out of them, just remember that fresh tires will make a large difference in ride (performance, too, I imagine).It did for us. I have given the highest marks in the ratings above. It was easy to do.
