DO NOT BUY THESE TIRES

I have purchased 5 of these tires in the last year and now I need a new one. They wear excessively fast, I hit a pot hole once and it it went flat, This last tire went flat on what I can only see rock salt to be the cause. 214 Mercedes offset package.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Based on the review, this is damage from impacts with a curb or pothole. Please keep in mind that all replacement Continental Tires included coverage for accidental damage from road hazards for 12-months or the first 2/32" of treadwear; whichever, comes first. https://continentaltire.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/848

Great for me!

I was disappointed I could not buy snow tires for my AWD vehicle, but I bought these all-season tires and they have gone great in the snow! I live an a snow-belt and rarely can drive anywhere without hitting a bad area in winter. Haven't had a problem all year.

Manufacturers must get these free

These came standard on my son's VW rabbit, and on my Porsche Panamera 4S. That seems like an awful large price difference to cover with one tire. The problem is that these tires felt low on grip for the VW, let alone for the Porsche. Neither set lasted as long as an all-season should for either car. I replaced the VW with Coopers, and the Porsche with Michelins and have never looked back on either. Continental makes some great products, but this is not one of them. They do look nice though. Don't buy these tires just because they came on your vehicle. There are much better options for much less money.

Very harsh ride and very noisy

We own 2 Jaguar X-types, a 2003 with 16-inch wheels and a 2004 with 17 inchers, both cars purchased new and equipped with ProContacts. I know little technical information about tires, so simply have had my Jaguar dealer replace them with the same Conti ProContacts when required. We have homes on Cape Cod and in Sarasota and so drive in a variety of conditions. (I drive to New Hampshire to ski, and of course we have summer conditions in Florida.) The tires are just unbelievably noisy, the car with 17-inch wheels being by far the worst. (I notice others on this site complain of noise.) Moreover, the ride on the 17-inchers is very, very harsh. Any small pothole -- and there are lots on Cape Cod roads -- means a severe, stomach-turning jolt. So much so that I am finally learning all I can about tires and I intend to replace these at the first opportunity. I also happen to be an enthusiastic road biker, and give Conti high marks for their bike tires. It is unfortunate that they do not do better on auto tires.

Great Tires

Fitted to 07 Hyundai Sonata. Presently 6,000 miles since new. Tires run very smooth. Some noise on concrete paved roads - quiet on macadam. Very responsive on both dry and wet pavement. Tracking on very wet roads safe - tires do not hydroplane at 65 mph. Very satisfied with these tires compared to OEM Michelins and previous Dunlop Sports (removed at 15,000 miles due to vibration that could not be cured by balancing - found internal failure of cords when mounting new Continenal tires). Winter has arrived - so far tires provide manageable traction in upwards of 8 inches of snow and slush.

OEM Tires - Have Performed Well

The ContiProContact were OEM on my 2010 VW TDI Sportwagon. I have 53K on the car and looks like the tires would go the full 60k warranty. Just lost one yesterday due to road hazard so replacing two with the original. Will let the other two go to near 60k. The handling has been excellent in all weather even now at high mileage. I agree with other posts that they did get noisy. This was past 35K but manageable for me since I drive almost always windows up on the highway. The tire that suffered road hazard in the sidewall also had what appeared to be some herniation in that area so suspect previous damage. They've served well and received only normal rotation/inflation care.

3 Months now

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.

Great overall tire

I am on my third set of Continental ProContacts and that statement pretty much sums it up. These tires are so good, I don't even consider another type for my car. My 2006 Fusion now has over 116K miles on it and they work great. Smooth and quiet ride, handles good in wet and dry conditions, great traction....I could go on and on, but simply, they are darn good tires that don't sock you in the wallet. How good are they? I am going to put a set on a 1976 Mercury Montego MX that I am restoring and the size I am going for has a whitewall design to fit the look of the car.

A wonderful All-Round Tire... :-)

I have read the reviews and own these tires myself, they are a Great Year Round tire with average treadwear. 40K tires, I got 45k out of them Not a tire for those of you that need to put your foot in it and take every corner like you are going to a fire Driven in Snow, Rain, (maybe not so much on ice), etc... Absolutly no complaints. Also, the roads here in Colorado Springs are horrible, these tires held up like champs... And yes, they do get a little noisier as they wear, don't all tires? Will

Fair tire

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.
