We have 39000 miles on first set of tires and nearly 4/10 or more of tread life left. My wife drives highway 80 miles a day. We live on gravel road and they ride great. I don't understand the negative comments. Great quality tire. Expecting 20 k more on them.

Probably the worst tires I owned in 40 years of driving. No more Continental tires for me. I bought a set of 4 ProContacts for my 2019 Prius Prime (For some reason I'm directed to CrossContact RX when I went to review them). After the first rotation, the previously rear tires bounced like they were out of balance (they weren't). Come cold weather, they developed flat spots that caused an even rougher ride until they warmed up. I recently discovered factory sidewall defects on two tires where they were dimpled (very subtle) and they should have never made it out of the factory or past the installer. Tried to get them covered under warranty, but warranty coverage requires taking the tires to an authorized dealer, buy a new set of Contis (Not happening for two reasons, 6 month lead time for availability and not buying another set of Contis ever.) and the dealer has to return tires to Continental for inspection. Continental has recalled these in other sizes for blow out issues.

I purchased the Continental ContiProContact Run Flat tires prior to making an 8,000 mile, seven week round trip from MI to northern CA in a 2003 BMW Z4 roadster and couldn't have been more pleased with the improvement over the OE brand of tires. The trip included all types of road surfaces and terraines with mountain driving as well as the famed Pacific Coast highways US 101 and US 1.

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.

Bought these four years ago. Always seemed I had to air up the tires. Two were replaced under warranty due to sidewalk defects (bubbles) at different times Tread wear was fair. Tread appeared to be dry cracking prematurely. I could never get the tires really clean. Seemed it had dry chalking film on the outer sidewall the life of the tire. Replaced the tires instead.

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.

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.

These tires came on my 2010 VW TDi Sportwagen. Having the car just over a year, I've gone through 3 of the 4 original tires. 2 of them from lightly brushing a curb, and the 3rd from a pot-hole. The 4th tire, which is still on my vehicle, has formed ping-pong sized bubble on the sidewall... just noticed this last night, so it'll need replaced as well. I have also been disappointed at the tread life, as it's worn very quickly. I would not recommend these tires. Dissatisfied customer.

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.

I have these tires on a BMW 325Ci (OEM) and they have just over 40,000 miles on them. The rear tires will easily last another 10,000! Unfortunately both front tires have wear on the insides (possibly due to alignment issues but BMW's are notorious for this type of wear on the front tires due to the camber and the way the suspension is set up). These tires have been quiet, have handled well and with confidence in the rain and on dry pavement and have survived the awful SFO Bay Area roads for 6 years! (and I push my car HARD quite often). The street prices on these tires are ridiculously cheap, and even if a set only lasted three years they would be good value! I will replace my old tires with these again.... there is a good reason why BMW installs them as original equipment. PS. BMW does not recommend rotating tires.
