I recently replaced the factory install tires on my 2008 Subaru Forester with Continental tires. WOW what a difference. It made this really poor riding, poor handling car better. These tires are really good. The only negative is the slight increase in noise at interstate speeds, which is a fair trade for the extra performance.

I purchased this set of run-flat ContiPro Contact tires, as the OEM replacement for my '08 BMW 328i Sedan. The original set achieved 49K miles, which I thought was amazing. I drive mostly highway miles, with the remainder being local, in-traffic, fairly aggressive miles. However, this replacement set shows significantly more wear (at wear bar), at the 21K mile point. I feel like the useable tread life will likely run out, well before the 49K "bar" that had been set by the originals. The performance of the tire is better than average, with very good wet/ dry traction. Icy roads obviously offer a substantially greater challenge, leaving the tires as "so-so" performers. Braking distance is excellent on dry roads, and very good on wet. The performance, however, could also be greatly attributed to this car, in particular. Road noise levels are ok, but should/ could be better. I would not say that it's obnoxious, but I have had much better results from a non-run-flat tire.

I am currently driving with these tires on my 2012 Jetta 2.5SE. I love to push my vehicle to its limits, and this tire works well in helping me do just that. -So far they've lasted me 10k miles under moderately strenuous use with no problems, and less than 25% wear on the Tire Wear Indicator. -Great braking and take-off performance, and they still have good performance in extremely wet road conditions. Takes quite a lot of speed going around turns for these tires to lose grip. -Small bumps in the road are reduced to light muffled vibrations. I cannot attest to the tire performance on more powerful vehicles, but if you have the kind of car that's only meant to get you from A to B, then these tires are great for when you want performance out of your vehicle and when you need it.

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.

These tires came on my 2007 VW and have performed well. I feel that, at 59k miles, they still have sufficient tread left. I just took a trip east (Ohio, West Va, & Va) through the mountains and through a wooded camp site and my ContiProContacts did a great job. I will replace them this fall (2011) with the very same model/brand. They will have lasted just over 60m miles with good performance. The photo I am uploading is the tread depth after our trip through the mountains. This is probably good enough for fair weather, conservative driving but definitely need replaced before winter. I have never had a set of tires last this long and give this kind of well-rounded performance. J.L

Couldn't give a zero so they got a one! We have a 2013 Ford Escape and the Continental tires that came from the factory are worn out and need to be replaced. WE have rotated them. I contacted customer service and got some lame "out of the book" answer. I would NEVER recommend these tires!!!

I have a Nissan 2009 Versa s with only 18800 miles on it and the tires are rated at 40000miles. I use it only for local driving since we use my wife's Altima to travel. this is totally un acceptable mileage. I have the car serviced and tires rotated as scheduled. this car also has tire pressure control.

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.

Bought 2022 Audi Q3. Vehicle doesn't have 20k miles yet. Went through 10k checkup and now in past week 2 separate blow outs!!!! This is terrible & reading these articles makes me extremely upset as of the low quality associated with this brand.... Pay too much for Vehicle too have tires unable to meet demand.... I feel like I've been robbed!!!!

My wife's 2011 Mini Cooper came with these tires (175/65/R15) and we just went in for our first oil change and the front tires were at 3/32 and the rears were at 5/32. They recommended we replace the front tires, but here is the kicker... We have 18,000 miles on the car. Unbelievable!
