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.

...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...

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.

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.

...From miles 0-40,000 it did fine getting through snow. Now that we're at 72,000, it had issues with our last 8-inch snow. Keep in mind it is a 70,000-mile tire and the tread life is just now in the yellow...

I was tired of road noise and saw reviews of how quite this tire was. I had never thought of buying Continentals before. But the tire has be awesome. Very quiet, my wife noticed that right away. Handling has been good as well. Does great in rain and wet roads. Also does well in breaking. The only knock I saw on the tire was snow. From miles 0-40,000 it did fine, no real issues with getting through snow. Now that were at 72,000, it had a few issues with our last 8-inch snow. Keep in mind it is a 70,000-mile tire and the tread life is just now in the yellow.

I am hoping to get to spring and summer and possibly fall before replacing them. If that happens they will have 80,000 plus miles. I don't go off road so I cannot speak to that aspect of the tire. But it is a highway tire.

...The tread wear, the traction, and most of all the quiet ride. These are far superior than anything else out there...

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.

...The tire is quiet and has great traction on wet and dry pavement...

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.

I’m extremely satisfied with the traction and handling delivered for highway/city/country road driving. I’m confident in dry and wet driving. I’m satisfied with the handling in snow and ice. I am disappointed in the noise level and stiffness of the tire. I have greater confidence and security in my vehicle with the tire. This is an improvement over the OEM tire. It comes at the expense of some comforts in ride and noise. The tire delivers itself well for being safe handling on road. I do not go off road driving with my vehicle. If low noise level and soft ride is a priority for you, I would consider another tire over this tire. If a secure, safe and high traction tire on road driving is your main consideration I highly recommend this tire.

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!!

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. Tire has performed excellent under all conditions including pulling 25' travel trailer over half of total milage driven thus far. Would definitely buy same time again!

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
