Good tyre in all aspects, but they just lasted 20000km

Mounted on a 2.5 tonne SUV with 500+ bhp although not used for aggressive driving - more offensive. I took off the Michelin Latitudes that came originally with the car after 1000 km as they were disastrous (or at least not meeting my expectations from a UHP SUV tyre). The tyres I typically use on my SUV were not available in 275/50/20 nor 265/55/19 (I typically don't go for 295/45/21 etc especially on SUVs and heavy vehicles). Overall extremely pleased with it to the extend that after 1 season (ca 20'000 km I had 5mm of tread left) I bought a new set. The wear is not a surprise given the grip the car has through the tyres nor the fact it is a powerful and heavy SUV. Expecting much more would be a sacrifice for other parameters or difficult to achieve. I don't agree with the user mentioning their noiseniness. On contrary I find them very quiet although this is not an issue for me. The key parameter is Aquaplanning and breaking in wet and dry and in this respect the tyres scores high. The only reservation I would have is lateral aquaplaning and lateral acceleration on the wet (I tended to get occasional oversteer however when driving at the limit and with a powerful engine). Altogether I prefer oversteer to understeer. Recommendable although I would prefer the QuattroMaxx is available in this size. A pity with the quasi cartel collusion of tyre producers with OEMs is that nowadays you tend to get 1 maybe 2 tires that fit your car making the choice rather of lesser evil than a studied decision - not to mention additional pain adding brand homologations.

Came as OEM tyres for VW Tiguan SUV. With less than 5000 km, punctured driving on bitumen by a bark chip on the edge of the tread - not even the sidewall. The rubber is very soft, presumably for high performance, but virtually no resistance to puncture, which in my view makes then unsuitable for an SUV.

This is an extremely noisy tyre such that radio listening ( news / talk programmes) is extremely difficult. Early days as regards other characteristics, so comments should not be taken as definitive. Trying to find a quieter tyre so as to change, - costly exercise!

Standard fitting on Hyundai Tucson SE Premium. Lasted less than 13000 miles on front axle. Is it my driving? I don't think so. Previous car was Hyundai IX35 SE Premium (basically the same car), changed front tyres on that one at 31000 miles. Previous car to that was a Discovery TD5, tyres lasted 40000 miles between changes so its not my driving! Ok for feedback and grip and noise levels but will not be buying as replacements

I have been a continental tyre buyer all my life, but am disappointed with the wear on these. I bought a new XC90 August 2015 and I was delighted that Conti's were the standard tyre with the car but will 11,000 miles on mixed roads I am not so sure, I have had 3 punctures (all nails) and while getting the latest puncture fixed today I was informed I have 2-3 months left on them all. My wife mainly drives the car, it is not driven 'energetically' so we will have about 13,000 miles on this set which i think is quite poor given the brand. While the car is heavy these tyres should wear better. Everything else I am happy with, stopping, feedback etc

These tyres are are brilliant

I opted for them because I was after something with a AA traction rating, mainly to get me out of trouble but also for the odd spirited driving.

Braking wet and dry is seriously impressive and they always feel as though they'll handle whatever I throw at them. The one complaint that I have is actually with my car. Because these tyres are far grippier than the standard RE031 Potenzas, my cars "no fun" ESC has the occasional tendency of interfering when nearing the cornering limits even though the contis have got everything well under control.

Wear is pretty impressive so far. Tread wear is rated at 420 for this size. I get the impression that driven sensibly they'll last between 25 and 30 thousand miles, but drive like you're in grand theft auto and you'll be lucky to get 8000 miles out of these little puppies.

Highly recommended
