The ContiProContact is Continental's Grand Touring All-Season tire originally developed for European sport coupes and sedans sold in North America, and is now available for a wide range of imported and domestic cars. The ContiProContact is designed to blend good looks and handling with low noise and a smooth ride while providing all-season versatility and year-round traction, even in light snow.

The ContiProContact features an all-season tread compound molded into a symmetric, notched-rib tread design that provides continuous tread contact with the road to enhance steering response and handling while its wide circumferential grooves promote hydroplaning resistance and wet traction. Continental's PROactive Edge Technology places at least 800 arched edges in each ContiProContact tire's tread design to bring more active edges into the contact patch to promote stormy-weather traction while allowing the pattern elements to transfer smoothly from edge to edge to minimize on-road noise. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon to stabilize the tread area promoting uniformity and high-speed durability.

*Specific sizes featuring low rolling resistance technology are identified as such on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's Specs tab.

Kumho Road Venture AT51 Reviews

Owners report excellent dry traction and confident wet performance, with scores often in the 8-10 range, aligning well with its on-road all-terrain purpose. Winter traction stands out, particularly in deep snow and slush, though ice scores show occasional variability (6-10). Ride comfort receives consistent praise for smoothness, and noise levels are generally acceptable for the category. Treadwear earns positive marks overall, though a few ratings note faster wear (scores as low as 0-4), suggesting mixed experiences with longevity. Drivers highlight reliable handling on rugged terrain and commend its balanced on-road manners, making it a strong choice for those prioritizing all-weather capability without sacrificing daily drivability.

...Six months out of the year, I can also expect significant snow. These Kumhos have been fantastic on everything including rocky trails, muddy dirt roads, gravel, and high speed highways. The only place they struggle a little is ice, but in this respect they do better than any other non-ice-specific tire I've ever owned...

These tires went on my '89 Suburban 2500 that weighs in around 6500 lbs.
I live at the end of a long gravel road that gets pretty rough at certain times of the year.
That road exits onto a fast moving two-lane highway.
Six months out of the year, I can also expect significant snow.
I hate bothering with winter/summer tire sets, especially when I'm buying 35" tires, so I try to find a single tire solution.

Put that all together and my tire requirements are tough fill.

These Kumhos have been fantastic on everything including rocky trails, muddy dirt roads, gravel, and high speed highways. The only place they struggle a little is ice, but in this respect they do better than any other non-ice-specific tire I've ever owned. I'm still driving them in an arctic winter and I haven't had a problem yet!

Unless something spectacular comes along, I'll probably replace the General Grabber A/TX tires I have on my other truck. They pale in comparison as an all-purpose, off-road capable tire.

Highly recommended.

Tires are great I do a lot of hunting and this vehicle sees a lot of off road. We do live in snow country and these tires have been perfect for our snowy and icy conditions. They are very aggressive when you need them but very quite on the highways.

These tires handle deep snow well and recently I tested them on beaches in VA and NC. After airing down to 18 psi, they performed well in sand and around the islands at speeds < 50 mph.

In snow at standard psi for my truck, they performed well. Maybe would have been better with slightly less air during our winter snow storms.

Tires havent let me down in either snow or sand. 10k miles on this set, but i had another set on my Tahoe get 44k plus miles. Would likely buy again.

I have come to know the ride and performance of the Kumho tire, no matter what vehicle I mount them on, is a win win tire. The price is right for my pocket book, the tire noise is low, and they wear great. Kumho tires are my favorite tires of choice for all of our vehicles, and for the last couple of decades.
