The TerrainContact H/T is Continental's Highway All-Season tire designed for the drivers of pickup trucks, Jeeps, and full-size SUVs who want a robust, durable tire with balanced on-road performance and confident all-season capability. TerrainContact H/T tires are engineered to deliver a quiet ride and long life, plus sure-footed traction in dry, wet, and wintry conditions, including light snow.
Utilizing Continental's +Silane additives for enhanced traction, longevity, and cut- and chip resistance, the tread compound of the TerrainContact H/T is molded into a purposeful, symmetric pattern. The large, stable shoulder blocks help deliver confident traction and durability, and noise blockers reduce airborne sound for a more pleasant driving experience. Computer-Optimized Pattern Shifting further reduces the sound created by the tread pattern to deliver a quiet, comfortable ride. Wet traction and braking are aided by the +Silane compound, and the wide, circumferential grooves and lateral notches help evacuate water from the footprint to resist hydroplaning. Full-depth, interlocking sipes deliver stable handling and braking under heavy loads, in addition to improving traction in wet, snowy or icy conditions. Traction Grooves feature gripping teeth inside the grooves to retain snow in the footprint for snow-to-snow traction.
The internal construction of the TerrainContact H/T utilizes a two-ply, polyester casing to balance comfort and durability, and two heavy-duty, steel belts stabilize the tread for confident handling and durability. Dual, spirally wound cap plies further reinforce the tire and provide high-speed capability and handling.
El neumático TerrainContact H/T de Continental pertenece al segmento: Autopista Para Toda Estación y fue diseñado para conductores de picops, Jeeps y vehículos utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés), que buscan un neumático robusto y durable, que cuente con un balance entre rendimiento sobre carreteras y capacidad confiable durante las cuatro estaciones del año. El TerrainContact H/T ha sido construido para proporcionar un andar tranquilo y longevidad, además de tracción segura sobre superficies secas, mojadas o en condiciones invernales, incluyendo superficies con poca nieve.
El compuesto de caucho del TerrainContact H/T contiene el aditivo +Silane de Continental, el cual, mejora la tracción, longevidad y resistencia a cortes o astillas; el mismo es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento útil con patrón simétrico. Los bloques estables y grandes en los hombros ayudan a proporcionar una tracción confiable y durabilidad, mientras que bloqueadores de ruidos reducen el sonido del aire atravesando el neumático. Un patrón cambiante optimizado por computadora reduce, aún más, el ruido creado por la huella y proporciona una andar tranquilo y confortable. El frenado y tracción sobre superficies mojadas es mejorado por el uso de +Silane en el compuesto de caucho, mientras que, canales circunferenciales anchos y ranuras laterales ayudan a sacar agua del área de contacto para resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Pequeñas ranuras interconectadas y profundas, proporcionan maniobrabilidad y frenado estable bajo cargas pesadas, además de mejorar la tracción en condiciones mojadas, con hielo o nieve. Ranuras de tracción "Traction Grooves" poseen pequeños dientes, para retener nieve en la huella y aumentar la tracción nieve con nieve.
La construcción interna del TerrainContact H/T posee una estructura de dos capas de poliéster para balancear la durabilidad y el confort, mientras que, dos correas con acero para trabajos duros estabilizan la banda de rodamiento para obtener mayor durabilidad y confianza al conducir. Dos capas envueltas en espiral refuerzan, aún más, el neumático y proporciona mayor capacidad para rodar a velocidades elevadas.

...Wet traction is amazing. You do not have to worry about grip. You can drive through rain without any issues, unless it is a massive puddle...
These are exceptional tires. The vehicle came with the OEM Michelin Primacy AS. They were fine but were an all-season tire with only good road traction. I was between the Michelin Defender LTX and these since they are basically the same tire. The Continental is just cheaper. I'm extremely happy I went with this set of tires. They have completely changed the ride of the vehicle for the better. Road noise is at a minimum. Dry traction cannot be beat, you literally hug the road around curves and will not spin the tires coming out into traffic. Wet traction is amazing. You do not have to worry about grip. You can drive through rain without any issues, unless it is a massive puddle. Every tire gives a little in big puddles. I have not drove the tires in snow yet so I cannot speak to that. Overall, in my opinion this is going to be your best highway tire to put on an SUV for the money. The added bonus: they look beefier and make the vehicle look better than the all-season tires that originally came on it and yet perform miles above. Props to you Continental!

...they're shockingly capable in the rain and snow...
I consider myself a tire snob. I spend more time than I care to admit researching tires online. For my Nissan Armada, I narrowed my choices down to two tires for my truck. I considered the Continental TerrainContact H/T, and the Michelin Defender LTX MS/2’s as my top two choices in the HT truck tire category. But the price was significantly higher for the Michelin’s, so I thought I’d give the Conti’s the nod. I’m glad I did. I have to say, these tires are amazing. For the money, I feel these are the best truck tires on the market. They’re smooth, ultra-quiet, good looking, have excellent road feel, accurate steering, and they’re shockingly capable in the rain and snow. My previous tires were the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3’s which were also fantastic, but they only lasted 39k miles. I thought I’d step over to a true truck HT tire for my heavy Nissan Armada to get better tread life. These tires are not as buttery soft as the Pirelli’s. The Conti’s are slightly more taught, but that’s a good thing. I just feel more contacted to the road and in-control with the Conti’s. If you’re in the market for a truck HT tire, put these near the top of your search list.

...Snow it grips great. I only put my truck in 4WD when it is a bad storm or icy.
Tire performs almost as well as the A/T Version. Only issue I have noticed is during Wet Weather. When there is a bit of water making a swallow stream across the road it sometimes tries to hydroplane. Wet Roads No Issue, Puddles No Issue Snow it grips great. I only put my truck in 4WD when it is a bad storm or icy.

...I got to drive them through a lot of snow in the Northeast this winter. I found in Light snow and Icenot bad. They will get you up and through most of that with a little lateral slippage here and there...
30,000+ miles on them now, and about halfway through the tread. They are excellent in dry and wet conditions though I gave it a slightly lower score with Hydroplaning. In Dry or wet I never lose traction or grip. The tire is quiet and smooth. I got to drive them through a lot of snow in the Northeast this winter. I found in Light snow and Ice not bad. They will get you up and through most of that with a little lateral slippage here and there. Deep snow is a different story. Not nearly as good as the Falken Wilpeak AT Trail I had on my other Subaru (Outback). Those tires literally got me through 3 feet of snow in Vermont one day. The Conti is just ok in Deep Snow and is a HT tire not an AT tire so understandable. I think my preference is to have a jack of all trades tire so an AT or the newer All Weather tires may be more for me but I can't really complain about the Conti's overall performance. The Terrain Contact is totally a great Highway Tire comparable with the Michelin LTX MS etc.

...Vast improvement over the old Yokohama tires especially in wet & snowy conditions. I "tested" these tires on the drive home from work during a recent 8" snowstorm, in both rear 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive. I was pleasantly surprised how well they performed in 2-wheel drive, that says a lot about these tires!...
Very happy with these tires! Vast improvement over the old Yokohama tires especially in wet & snowy conditions. I "tested" these tires on the drive home from work during a recent 8" snowstorm, in both rear 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive. I was pleasantly surprised how well they performed in 2-wheel drive, that says a lot about these tires! They held the road with little to no slippage: starting, stopping and turning! When shopping for these tires I compared the Michelin vs Bridgestone vs Continental - looking at performance data/price/ratings. These continentals were definitely the best value!

...Confident in the wet or dry...
Great tire in all conditions. Better than expected snow and light off road traction. It's not a mud tire. But loose surface and wet grass traction was above expectations. Confident in the wet or dry. Quiet. Long wearing. 41k at the moment. Looks like it will go 60k anyways. I rotate every 5k. And keep the air pressure at spec.

Fantastic tire, highly recommend. Very pleased with all aspects of tire performance especially handling, low noise level, ride and treadwear. In my opinion as good or better than OEM tire.
