Great ride along with a good price!

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.

Sidewall failure

This tire came in with my 2017 Honda Civic Sport hatchback. Fast forward to Sept 2019 going home to NJ from a trip to NY along the NJ turnpike to which I did not see the pothole at the turnpike, my front left/driver side hit it and then immedialtely my TPMS light turned on. The steering wheel started to shake and I knew after that the tire was badly damaged. If it was a different brand, it could have sustained that amount of impact, but for the Continental, it was a failure. Only positive side of this tire was the good fuel economy that I got from it.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Unfortunately, this type of damage is common during pothole season in your region.

Excellent Design and Replacement for OEM

2005 TDI wagon came with Continental Pro-Contracts with a tread rating of 360. This is Pro Contact is the third set on the car with 90K. (Second set was Goodyear eagle product) Tire are exceptional engineering design of quiet, performance, and safety. I missed how quiet these tires are even with pressures set at 42 rear and 36 front. Highly recommend to the VW TDI wagon user where a 91H load rating is required due to higher tire pressure for ultra mileage. I will use this Pro-contract to replace the OEM Hankook tires on my 2010 TDI wagon.

Horrible

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!!!!

Excellent OEM tire on 2009 Chrysler 300C

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).

ContiProContact SSR - great in snow

In March, I bought the ContiProContact SSR for my Mini Cooper S based on their all season rating. They replaced my summer tires but the first snow has fallen and I think that I might just leave them on for the winter. I am a conservative driver, usually annoyed by the other drivers going too fast in the snow but driving home (North of Boston) after the first snow, it was the other way around. The other drivers were going slow and I felt quite comfortable driving much faster. So, after about 10,000 miles of summer and SOME winter driving, I am very pleased with the tires and would recommend them.

Great for 17K but

These tires came with my 2010 TDI Golf and from the get go I noticed good handling. I am been so happy with them I just assume they were high dollar tires with the only fault of taking bumps a little hard which I figure is more do to being low profile tires. Now that I am at about 17K I am now starting to notice reduced tire traction, not sure if due to tread life, tread is wearing down but still within limits and no bad spots, the traction control on my car comes on more with not tring to take off fast. My turning performance I would say it still good fill soild. The biggest complaint would now have to be that on the highway I have noticed a bumping feel (and noise) as if the tires were out of balance. I recently had the tires balanced and a four wheel alignment but still feel it, it does stay straight. Maybe one tire is bad but I would have thought this would have been found during balance and inspection. Now I did notice the side wall on one tire is odd, I plan to replace this tire and IF this does stop the bumping, I have say the rating is a 5 star so far at 17K. Right now I rate a little lower. The photo is just stock and the EcoPlus tire I recommend is just the tire I think I am getting next, anybody?

Good tread life, good tire, excellent value.

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.

Worst tires I ever owned

Bought a 2009 Dodge Charger 2 years ago. At 500 miles I lost the first Continental ContiProContact tire when the sidewall blew out. I hit a 2 inch curb at 3 mph. The second tire failed at 10000 miles due to a rock penetrating the tread. (I have a gravel driveway.) I replaced both with tires of another brand). At 20000 miles the two remaing Continental tires have slow leaks and show premature wear at the inside shoulders. The tire shop won't repair them claiming they are "technically bald", and that they have "self sealing technology that makes punctures unrepairable". (While Continental does make such tires, I don't believe these tires have the feature, so I also have an issue with the tire shop). I don't drive abusively, and have not experienced such extreme fragility with other tires, including the "Not-continental" tires on two wheels of this care.

Low Tread Life - worthless warranty

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!!!
