Tire is Available for Your Vehicle

Your 2004 Lexus LS430 came from the factory with more than one possible size. This tire may fit depending on the size you need.

The TrueContact Tour is Continental's Standard Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of family sedans, coupes, minivans and small crossovers looking for sure-footed traction, a smooth, quiet ride and long tread life. TrueContact Tour tires are designed to combine premium levels of ride and noise quality with responsive handling and confident grip in dry, wet and wintry conditions, including light snow.

The all-season tread compound of the TrueContact Tour features temperature-activated functional polymers that aid tread life and fuel efficiency, and the symmetric pattern enables easy rotation intervals to combat irregular wear. Comfort Ride Technology incorporates an underlay beneath the tread that is designed to isolate the tread from the casing and reduce the amount of perceptible vibration in the cabin. Continental's +Silane additives enhance traction in slippery conditions, and the wide, circumferential grooves allow water to flow through the contact patch for improved hydroplaning resistance. Siped intermediate tread blocks and lateral notches in the shoulders create the biting edges needed for grip in snowy or icy conditions, and traction grooves trap snow in the tread to provide snow-to-snow traction.

The internal construction of the TrueContact Tour utilizes a single ply, polyester casing. The low- to mid-apex balances handling performance and ride comfort, while dual steel belts are reinforced by a high-strength, spirally wound nylon overlay to enhance durability and high-speed uniformity.

...The traction in the rain and on the hottest of days is outstanding, it has given us renewed confidence in taking her car on the highway...

First and foremost all 4 tires we bought were made in the USA! We had Milestar tires on my girlfriends car previously and it was time for them to go since they were out of round. These tires are night and day better. The traction in the rain and on the hottest of days is outstanding, it has given us renewed confidence in taking her car on the highway. They are very very quiet which was important seeing as it's a Town Car. You can put your feet on the floorboard and at 40 mph it feels like you aren't even rolling down the road. If you value safety, quality and comfort, buy these tires.

...Wet acceleration can induce some slip but tires have excellent grip on the highway even in heavy rain...

2010 Sienna XLE, running these tires at about 40 psi (vs. 35 psi recommended) to maximize treadlife; especially down in Florida where hot road surfaces eat away the tread. These tires work well on this non-sporty vehicle. Tire dry traction generally exceeds capabilities of the car. Wet acceleration can induce some slip but tires have excellent grip on the highway even in heavy rain. Limited snow experience has been very good and tires work well on the cold (above 10F) road surfaces I've traveled. Similarly excellent performance on an older Honda Accord a family member drives in Chicago. Would definitely buy again.

...They stick to the road like glue even in icy -8c weather...

These tires really improved the feel of my wagon. I came from those Les Schwab only Toyo Synapse tires that were hard, not very grippy especially in the wet and wore quickly. Granted, the tires were ready for replacement upon acquiring the vehicle, but they were still noisy and hard. These tires are supple and grippy on all surfaces that I have tried them including old wet brick pavement and mossy peripheries of steeep hillside cul de sacs. They were even pretty decent in moist sand! #soob. Anyways, I'm real glad I didn't cheap out on tires, and neither should you.

...Great response on dry, wet, snow and even icy conditions...

Overall great tire! Great response on dry, wet, snow and even icy conditions. These tires have held up to everything that has been thrown at them. I'm still running these with plenty of treadlife left at this point. However now there are some signs that the end of life is near showing some cracks in the sidewall and they will be replaced soon. But hey these have held up well and I can say that for my first set of Continental Tires I give them 2 thumbs up and would recommend them to others.

...Have driven through several 4-8 inch snow storms without any drama...

Simply Awesome. Best Standard All season tire on the market at a lower price then other premium tire competitors. This maybe the safest tire on the market right now. Handles driving rain at interstate speeds while installing a sense of driving confidence. Have driven through several 4-8 inch snow storms without any drama. Extremely quiet. Super comfortable. Great warranty, 85000 miles. Outperforms all other standard all season tires and most Gran Touring all season tires that are $50 to $100 higher per tire. If safety, comfort and a budget friendly price are your biggest concerns then mount these on your family vehicle. Also this tire often come with a $70 rebate making it an even bigger bang for the buck value.

...Grip was excellent with these tires in dry conditions and it had surprisingly good snow performance which was a pleasant surprise...

Used these tires for 60,000 miles and recently caught a nail and upgraded to a more off-road worthy tire to help deal with New York weather. After about 60k miles I was almost bald on my fronts due to me not rotating tires & spirited driving style so it fell a little short of the 80,000 mile guarantee these tires come with. Grip was excellent with these tires in dry conditions and it had surprisingly good snow performance which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, continental is probably my favorite tire brand for commuter cars since they're very well rounded.

...Braking felt great on Dry pavement and steering response was nice

Tires arrived just in time for a Heavy wet snow fall in northern Ohio. Tires handled nicely to my surprise, being a new tire I would expect that. On highway wet condition the tires cut through the rain with no issue; hydroplaning might be and issue at higher speeds. Braking felt great on Dry pavement and steering response was nice

I bought these to replace the OEM Hankook's that went over 57K mi's. So far I found the Conti's quiet, responsive,smooth running, and very comfortable. I did pick up a shoulder puncture in one tire that Tire Rack replaced and gave me a reimbursement quickly and painlessly.
Gotta Love that level of customer service.

These are the best tires I have owned. They perform like the were made for my Subaru Outback. These tires are superior to the Michelin Premier (very disappointing) tires I had on the same car earlier. The Continental TrueContact tires provide much improved handling, traction and tread wear compared to the Michelin's. When I need new tires I'll look to Continental first as my preferred brand.
