I would NOT ever buy these or Continental again

I always use Michelin tires but my 2017 Honda Touring only came with these. They are the worst tires I have ever owned in my life. I rotated and balanced them every 6K miles, check the air pressure every 3-4 weeks, and they are almost ready to be replaced at only 30K miles. The funniest thing is at about 6K i hit a small pothole in the road and the tire went flat. I replaced that tire with a new one and that one is the most worn tire at 4/32 and the others are at 5/32. Garbage tires. I have to start looking because these are almost gone and it won't be continental tires thats for sure!!!

Tires don't hold up

I only put 19575 miles on these tires and used nitrogen. I understand how driving affects tire wear but highway driving is totally different than city driving and thats where this tire suffers. It just not a good tire which can standup to being driven over the long haul. I would not recommend this tire to any except may a person who only drives their care once in a while.

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

Do not buy ProContacts. 3 of 4 tires failed.

I’ve run summer and winter continental tires on my last two cars. So I was happy when my new Buick tourx came with continental tires. Last fall all of a sudden my right front tire developed a horrible vibration. I decided I would just change to my winter tires and rebalance in the spring. This spring I put the tires back on and the vibration made the car undrivable. My local shop rebalanced the one tire but said it took a lot of weights and even though he couldn’t see it there had to be a broken belt on that tire. Put two snow tires on and ordered two used tires. Before I could get the new (used) tires mounted I suddenly got another severe vibration on one of the front continentals. I makes that tire and changed that tire with the other rear tire that was still good. That tire now vibrates horribly too. Of the 4 original tires, 3 have failed horribly and suddenly. My only recourse is through the steeler and I’m not hopeful that I will get any relief. Hate these tires so much I will probably never buy Continental tires ever again.

Never again

I purchased a set of 4 exactly 2 years ago yesterday. 22,000 miles later, they need to be replaced. My tread depth is 1/32" and both right side tires are at a 3 with the lefts being a 4 and 5. I have had my tires rotated with every oil change, ever 3,000 miles so I am sorry, these are not worth it. The rights should at least have been covered under warranty.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Based on the information provided, a low tread depth of 1/32" with a high tread depth ranging from 3/32" - 5/32", this may point towards a vehicle issue. For ongoing tracking, it is a good idea to request tread depth measurements across the face of the tires and in three locations around the circumference.

Junk

These tires came standard on my new 2010 Mercedes-Benz C300. After 1.5 years, 1 tire had a side lump and the dealer had to replace it (with a similar piece of junk to match). After 2.5 years and 27,000 miles the thread is completely wore off... I have to buy new tires to return my 3yr lease. Will never buy Continental again, and make it a deal breaker that my new lease do NOT have this brand.

Garbage Tires

These tires came on my 2012 Hyundai Elantra. I've owned the car for 17 months and have 13,300 miles on the car. I baby my vehicle, tires rotated as they should be. I had it in for the next tire rotation two days ago when the dealer tells me they need replaced NOW before we get any snow (I live in southwest PA). Tires are all worn evenly, but ANY tire should last more than 13,000 miles - oh wait, he said I MIGHT get another 1,000 -3,000 on them. I didn't have any problems with these tires, but I certainly would never buy them after this experience - and I'll be sure to check if they're stock on the next car I buy. It WILL make a difference in what I purchase next!

Continental on VW's

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.

Much better ride than OE brand Run Flat tires

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.

DAYS of whine and noises.

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.
