Reviews of Continental tires

The 4 seasons are a great training tyre. They roll well enough for mortals and are pretty durable.

Maybe I'm just luck as far as flats go, but I've never really been pleased with the ride and grip trade off for something like the 4 Season compared to something more in the "performance" category.

Not caring about rolling resistance is one thing, but something like a GP5000 (or similar tire from whatever brand,) just rides better.

I've rode 4 Seasons, Gatorskins, GP4000s, and prefer GP5000s over all of them for puncture resistance. Plus they have grip.

They seems good through the MN winter, including 2 trips to the North Shore of Superior. It snowed both times, and we never had any issue with traction.

I had a set of Conti DWS tires that always vibrated -- at least 2 of them. I ended up replacing them all within 5K miles because two of the tires were shredded in a Home Depot parking lot -- they left a bunch of sharp metal on the ground in the back of their lot and, classic my luck, I found it. They ended up paying for new tires under their insurance but because it was a Subaru, I argued I needed to replace all 4 tires. Anyway, the new tires... no vibration anymore. It's one of the best unfortunate accidents I had, haha.

Been there, done that: 205/55-16 summer tires (Conti ExtremeContact DW) on steel wheels It was alright, sidewalls were a bit soft. Great for city driving, like Toronto, or better yet, Montreal, roads there are just terrible.

Best all-season tires I've found so far personally.

The continental terra speed tires are only a watt or two slower than the gravel king slicks.

I decided to switch to Continental PureContact tires as they are better rated and less expensive and still are low rolling resistance. I haven’t noticed any loss in range.

PS - for what it’s worth, my snow tires are Continental WinterContacts and I’ve run them for about 6 years so far and I still have over 60% tread left. They’re fantastic.
