Continental ProContact GX Reviews

Rating patterns indicate the Continental ProContact GX delivers a comfortable ride (scores 7-10) with smooth handling and low noise, aligning well with Grand Touring expectations. Treadwear receives mixed feedback, with some customers noting premature wear (scores 0-7), though others report acceptable longevity. Winter traction shows inconsistency, with ratings dipping to 0-5 in icy conditions, suggesting limited confidence in severe winter scenarios. Wet traction earns solid marks (7-10) for reliable grip and hydroplaning resistance. Dry performance stands out as a strength, with many ratings in the 8-10 range for confident cornering and responsive steering, making it a strong all-season option for drivers prioritizing comfort and dry-road capability.

...track extremely well on dry roads and wet (monsoon rain storm), and stick in hard cornering on a variety of surfaces...

It seems that all the drivers who rate this tire poorly have the same thing in common - they all drive Subaru Outbacks. The two drivers who drive something else, both rate the tires 4.5. Is it possible the tires aren't compatible with Subaru Outbacks or does Subaru "spec" the tire (the Walmart syndrome) for their vehicles and their tires may be inferior to "off the shelf" tires?

I have only 3000 miles on my new XE (which explains why I can't rate the tires in snow, but I do live on a mountain in TN so I will provide an update this winter - and from current experience I expect they will do well in snow) but so far the tires have been excellent! They are quiet, track extremely well on dry roads and wet (monsoon rain storm), and stick in hard cornering on a variety of surfaces. I am curious as to the mileage I will see due to my driving style but so far, I would highly recommend the tires to anyone considering a purchase.

I was never nervous in wet or snow and the noise was noticeable and to us, acceptable...

I got 49,000 miles from these tires and they never spurred me to think that they were bad in any particular way. I was never nervous in wet or snow and the noise was noticeable and to us, acceptable. I did hit a nail and had the tire patched, and put a few thousand more miles on them without issue. More treadlife would have been nice, but getting almost 50,000 out of an OEM tire doesn't offend me. Not like the Kumhos that I had to replace on my wife's VW after 25,000 miles.

Replaced these with Goodyear Assurance Weatherready's and they are quieter than the Contis.

...My main complain is cornering, where sidewall flex makes tight turns not fun...

OEM tire that does the job, but wears fast and is not brilliant in any respect. My main complain is cornering, where sidewall flex makes tight turns not fun. OK, I do drive an Outback, which is not exactly a sports car, but compared to other similar SUV's with different tires, this could be improved dramatically. If you drive very sedate, they will do the job. If you're spirited, find something else. The car begs for better tires. Mine needed replacing after 30k miles. Would purchase Conti's again, but not the GX.

I bought these Slovakian made tires based on Consumer Reports suggestion and testing. They ride smoothly and quietly, just as Consumer Reports testing showed. I am pleased so far... as I ride down the road listening to others car tires that are just too loud. Brushing curbs happens to novice drivers and will damage any tire so stop bumping curbs...and comparing car tires against jeep tires. I paid $120 each and had to special-order them.

Winter traction shows concerning scores, with many ratings between 0-6. Customers report slippery conditions in snow and ice, noting lack of traction and unstable handling, making it unsuitable for severe winter use.

...Snow/Ice traction is awful.

Started hearing humming noises around 20K miles and go worse with time. Turns out that 2 of my 4 tires did not wear evenly. This created loud noises / harmonics between 30 to 50 mph, depending on the road. When new, the tires had bulges on the sidewalls. I did not take to dealership due to lack of time. Good thing they did not explode. Noticed a 1-2mpg improvement as the treads were near bald. This could be due to the tires or that fact that my oil burner (yes, there is a class action lawsuit for this vehicle) is starting to break-in. Eventhough I drive slower than average person, I can't imagine anybody else getting more than 50K miles on these tires. Snow/Ice traction is awful.

...Terrible in snow, too noisy, and no adjustment for early ware...

Tires came with car bought new Sept. of 2013. I currently have 28,000 miles and they have only 4/32" tread left. They were always maintained, rotated, and properly inflated to specs. Terrible ware, too noisy, and not good in snow, and no adjustment for early ware. Great otherwise. I will not replace with these tires and am looking at Michelin, etc.

  • 15 positive

Mixed treadwear ratings with many scoring 0-4 and 5-6, indicating premature wear and dissatisfaction. While some give 9s-10s, numerous reports of excessive wear, rapid tread loss, and needing replacement far earlier than expected for a Grand Touring All-Season tire.

...These are what came on my 2016 Forester and I didn't really think much of it before so I just replaced them with the same tires when they were low tread last time at about 26k miles, but they need replaced again at about 22k miles and I'm tired of it. There's no reason I should have 3 different sets of tires before 50k miles...

I can't say I ever noticed anything particularly bad about these tires in terms of handling considering they're all season, but the treadwear is absolutely terrible. These are what came on my 2016 Forester and I didn't really think much of it before so I just replaced them with the same tires when they were low tread last time at about 26k miles, but they need replaced again at about 22k miles and I'm tired of it. There's no reason I should have 3 different sets of tires before 50k miles. It's not remotely worth the price to me. I wouldn't recommend these tires to anyone and I can't wait to replace them with something else that will actually last.

...Not really thrilled with the tread life as I am replacing the front tires at 44k miles. The rears will likely need to be replaces in another 5-7k miles. In my opinion, that's an ok service life but nothing special for a car that is driven about 90% highway miles...

These tires were original equipment on my 2021 Audi A4. Best feature is a quiet ride. Not really thrilled with the tread life as I am replacing the front tires at 44k miles. The rears will likely need to be replaces in another 5-7k miles. In my opinion, that's an ok service life but nothing special for a car that is driven about 90% highway miles. I didn't own the car for the first 13k miles, so that could be a contributing factor. There wasn't any other tire brand/model I was dying to try on the car, so I just replaced them with the same tire since these did an ok job. We'll see how this pair does for tread life. I hope they get closer to 60k miles so they at least get us to the point we'll likely be selling the car.

These tires came on my 2013 outback when i bought it new. Although I've had the vehicle nearly 4 years I' only have 23000 miles on the tires and the are worn down to the ware bars. They were very quiet and smooth when the car was brand new but did not hold up. The ride quality, noise and performance drastically decreased around the 10K mile mark. I can not recommend these tires.
