Continental 4x4 Contact 

After reviewing survey scores and reading the reviews I was sceptical about these tires. However I must admit these tires deliver an exceptional driving experience. This winter we drove through 12" of unplowed snow with out hesitation. It offers a very quiet and comfortable ride on the highway. In heavy rain there is no hydroplaning. I highly recommend the 4x4 Contact and will purchase again.

Came with our 2010 Volvo XC90. It's a breeze to drive- very quiet and comfy.

I was initially concerned with this OEM tire. I purchased the vehicle as a ski truck and was unsure how the Contacts would behave in the Colorado mountains. Several trips over Loveland and Rabbit Ears Passes and I'm amazed how well the tires performed on snow-packed roads.

Even more surprising, they also did fine maneuvering the vehicle in and out of an icy, tight driveway on the side of the mountain above Steamboat Springs.

I'll probably move to dedicated snow tires for next winter but these tires didn't keep me from reaching my destinations.

Dry ride is impeccable; all of my passengers commented on the quiet, smooth ride from the Hayden and Denver airports.

These came on my 2019 MB GLS450, and I am already going to replace them. They are HORRIBLE, possibly the worst tires I've ever owned. In the slightest shower, you feel like you are in life or death driving conditions. In dry, you can practically watch the tread disappearing.

Horrible.

Tread wear not good, and matches poor 360 rating treadwear rating. Disappointing to have to replace an OE tire at 34,000 miles. Tread is now down to 4/62 (3mm) which is minimal for my wet Pacific NW climate. Recent drives in moderate to heavy rain have been very uncomfortable as car failed to track well. Drives fine ofndry roads, but very unsure in any other condicions. Has not done well the few times I have driven in snow. Would not buy again, and will switch to a MIchelin tires for the next set.

Great highway tire, everything else not so good. Should not be listed as an all-season tire. Terrible traction and dangerous in winter driving. Traction is not good even in dry after 10k miles. Longer breaking distances and bad traction when accelerating or towing. Due to safety, I am purchasing new tires from a different manufacturer.

These tires are woefully incompetent at everything they do. Dry traction is ho-hum, likely from the bizarrely soft sidewalls. Braking traction is also just ok, lots of wandering with light braking and even more when you get into them. Wet traction is miserable. These tires will hydroplane at the thought of water. The real fun starts when the snow begins. These tires are complete garbage in the snow. Slush, ice, compacted snow, all of it. They float, wander, have no feedback, and basically make travel at anything over walking speed treacherous.
There is exactly ZERO chance I will ever buy these tires again. Don't waste your time!

Garbage tires - went through 2 sets of 4 and both only lasted less than 10k miles - tread wore out very quickly and they provide terrible/scary winter driving characteristics.

These were the original tires on my Mercedes ML350. They lasted only 22,000 miles, very disappointing. The good news, wet and light snow performance was quite good, dry performance good but not exceptional, ride and noise some of the best I have experienced. Perhaps the most annoying thing was, these tires seem to be nail and screw magnets - 3 flats in 22,000 miles, even though I live in a rural area where nails and screws on roads are rare. Note: 1) My wife's car came with high performance Conti's, and had several flats - more expected on max performance summer tires but still annoying; 2) I have had 3 sets of Contis on various vehicles in the last 10 or so years and they all had frequent flats; and 3) Since replacing the Conti's on our current vehicles, we have had no flats although the current tires have picked up an occasional nail or screw, but they haven't penetrated or caused a flat. Can't explain why Continentals seem to have this issue, but it is what it is.

The Tread life on these tires is very poor. I only got 13,000 miles out of these tires driving mainly on the highway. I feel that for this price the tread life should last much longer. The tire performance is very poor both in the rain and in the snow. After 13,000 miles of highway driving my tread life is only at 2/32. I contacted Continental and they refused to warrantee these tires. I feel that these tires are overpriced for the performance that they deliver.My rear tires are at 8/32 tread life. I am also extremely disappointed at the way continental addressed the poor life performance of these tires. They claimed that since these are performance tires there is no warranty on them. My question is how could performance tires have no performance characteristics to them whatsoever.
