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.

Great upgrade from the stock Bridgestone Dueler Alenza H/L that came with the truck. Fixed my two biggest complaints: wet traction and steering. These are planted in the rain and the corner stability and steering response are excellent. The XL variant is a little stiffer but I certainly wouldn't say they ride rough. Overall very happy with them and highly recommend. Handle 1500+ lbs in the bed like it's nothing.

...They are a major improvement over the factory Goodyear Eagle LS-2 which had poor wet traction.
After reading the reviews for the Continentals I thought I would give them a try. They are very quiet and smooth riding.I have them inflated to 35 PSI. They are a major improvement over the factory Goodyear Eagle LS-2 which had poor wet traction. I will update again at 10,000 miles.

We live in the rural part of a rural state, so miles add up pretty quickly. As this has been one of the rainiest summers on record, I can safely say that wet traction has been quite good, although with only 1000 miles on these tires they're still brand new. No issues with hydroplaning, and the old Goodyears that came off were definitely getting slick. On the few dry days we've had, these track nice and straight and are very quiet. Overall very pleased so far and looking forward to see how they do in the snow.

Customers praise the TerrainContact H/T's winter capabilities, with most snow and deep snow traction scores in the 8-10 range. Ice traction shows strong performance (many 7-10 ratings), though a few lower scores suggest occasional challenges on sheer ice.

I have driven in everything this winter. I drove for over an hour in deep, slushy snow on only partially unplowed roads during a blizzard... Bad weather handling was my greatest concern (most tires handle dry weather well), and these passed with flying colors...
I spent a lot of time researching new tires for the used Armada I bought in April 2023. I settled on the Continental TerrainContact because of its reputed low noise, handling in snow/rain/dry, and durability. So far, I have not been disappointed. I have driven in everything this winter. I drove for over an hour in deep, slushy snow on only partially unplowed roads during a blizzard. I drove in torrential downpours. Bad weather handling was my greatest concern (most tires handle dry weather well), and these passed with flying colors. I never worried on my drives around PA or a recent drive to VT. There is little perceptible noise when driving on interstates, though noise does increase on concrete highways. The ride is comfortable and handling is excellent. So far, I have not found any downsides to these tires, though they are not the cheapest out there.

I’ve only driven these tires for a short period, but initial impressions are extremely positive. Very happy thus far in a slushy/icy Canadian winter. Deep tread depth cuts down to the pavement in icy weather. Minimized my need to run the vehicle in AWD mode.

...Traction is great, on dry roads, wet roads, and in snow...
I bought these tires because I didn't like the standard size for my truck. Continental exchanged them with no problem. The only problem I have is they can't be balanced. This is the second set. The first set bounced between 45 and 50 mph. these are a little better. The ride is as good as an LT tire can be. Traction is great, on dry roads, wet roads, and snow. I will never buy these tires again.

Haven't had them too long, but definitely better in the wet than the previous tires. I haven't pushed it to see the hydroplaning break point, but it handles very well overall in the wet and dry. Would definitely recommend for highway driving.

About 30K on the tires now and the tread looks amazing still. The tire is quiet and has great traction on wet and dry pavement. Recently drove it through a snow in PA. No issues whatsoever. When reading about the capabilites I was a bit worried driving it through a winter storm after reading snow capability reviews; but, it did great going up steep hills, and mixed city highway with about 6 inches of powder/slush (depending on the drive). I was in 4WD most of the time. Would definitely purchase it again for the SUV.

...Second they are the quietest tires I've had, Alenza produced a lot of tread noise when was new. TerrainContact is slightly firmer but comfortable ride...
They replaced OE Bridgestone Alenza 43 000 miles. First thing I noticed was the new tires have way less balance weights and run more stable. Second they are the quietest tires I’ve had, Alenza produced a lot of tread noise when was new. TerrainContact is slightly firmer but comfortable ride. Traction is excellent as expected! Extremely happy with my new tires!!

I had a similar continental tire on a newer F-350 and they are great tires. I purchased these for my 2006 f-350 and I could not be happier. They are quite simply the best tires I have ever had on F350 . The tread wear , the traction, and most of all the quiet ride. These are far superior than anything else out there . A great all-around tire.

Best bang for the buck by a looong shot. Bought these on sale and already put 70,000. Still can go another 10-20,000 looks like. This is everything a modern all season tire should be plus the longest thread life. Quiet, responsive, safe, great traction in all conditions. Will definitely buy again

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.

One of the best tires I have owned, if I end up getting good mileage out of them they will be the best I have had for all around driving and weather.

Experience the Continental TerrainContact H/T (01:01)

The Continental TerrainContact H/T has satisfied drivers and tested very well since its debut. Its excellent traction and pleasant road manners make it a strong benchmark and so it once again finds itself being evaluated along side some previously untested counterparts.
The previously tested Continental TerrainContact H/T is a well-balanced Highway All-Season tire, so we tested it against the newest, and one of the best, in the category to see how it compares.
