These tires are OEM on a 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio TI Sport AWD. I live in the Denver Metro area so snow and some ice are a consideration. I felt the traction was as good as could be expected for an all season tire under most snow conditions for a sports SUV. Dry road feel and handling was excellent. I rated it approximately 8 because a summer tire clearly would be preferable for non winter conditions . Only occasionally were the tires driven very aggressively and about half my mileage was in long distance 75 mile per hour travel. After 25,000 miles the tread depth is about 3/32. Recently in the first deep snow w. about four to six inches and slush on the roadways I found the traction to be not at all what was needed, naturally. I would like to improve on all the performance aspects of the tire but I may not be able to find, based upon the reviews I have read a true improvement for all categories. When there was plenty of tread life still in the tires I went through three winters and never had an objection to the tire traction in snow conditions even when deep. So the odds are good that I will buy this same tire to replace my worn set.

BOUGHT THESE TIRES 2MONTHS AGO AND FOUND THEY ARE OKAY, BUT NOT OUTSTANDING. THEY SEEM TO WANT TO ROLL WHEN CORNERING. THE RIDE IS QUIET AND ASSURING (267.00 EACH). I HAVEN'T HAD A SNOW EPISODE YET...WE'LL SEE.

I bought my Honda CRV AWD Touring in March 2021 right out of the Honda showroom. I have just over 50,000 miles in 2.5 years. The tires still have a certified tread of 5/32 (2) and 4/32 (2). They were rotated at the Honda dealership at oil changes-at least 5 times over that time period. I drive approximately 85 - 90 % highway and during all the seasonal changes that living in NE Ohio brings. In dry weather, typical speed is 75 -80 mph. These tires have seen me through ice, snow, sleet, rain, and dry weather. I plan on purchasing them again before this winter begins.

Silent tire, good grip, wet and dry. Worst tread wear eis the wort ever! Looks like it is made not for an SUV but for lighter car.

My Audi dealer replaced my Audi Q5 with the Cross Contact LX Sport tires - they only last 29,000 miles. I paid $1,100 for 3 tires. Not only are they overpriced but they have bad tread life. Never again! No wonder they offer no mileage warranty.

These tyres frightened me! On two separate occasions the completely ‘let go’ and aquaplaned on a UK motorway. There was some standing water but I was travelling at the same speed or less with other vehicles. On A Roads, hitting a puddle on one side invariably results in significant deviation from straight ahead.
I previously had Falken Wildpeak - excellent in the wet and Pirelli Scorpion - satisfactory in the wet.
I have no confidence in the Continental (as currently have around 6mm of tread) so will change ASAP.

Great tyre for me on road and off-road. Grips tarmac well dry or wet have great confidence in these tyres. Off-roading and on tracks on farm these are the tyres to have. Steep muddy and sometimes rocky hills they just absolutely grip with minimal slippage and not a great need for a run up ever.

After 2 years and 20,000 miles these have given up. One of them has a slow puncture at the shoulder from a split in the rubber. Two of them have cracks all over the tread surfaces and grooves. Remaining tread on all 4 is about 2mm which is pretty rapid wear in 20,000 miles. They have been excellent in snow and ice, and pretty good in thick mud too.

Tyre wear is terrible would never buy these tyres again went to Continental for reason why tyres wear was so bad and no satisfactory reason given
Have had to replace 4 tyres in less than 2 years with less than 13,000 miles completed
Fitted new on land rover discovery sport would not buy this model next time if these are the standard fit to tyres

Great tyre all-rounder but the wear & tear meant replacing them after only 13,000 mls. As far as I'm concerned; this is unacceptable especially when you consider I was driving a brand new vehicle with a wheel alignment and rotation @ 7,000mls.
