Top 3 Continental PureContact LS Reviews

Given 58% while driving a Lincoln 2019 Continental 3.0 AWD (255/45 R19) on mostly town for 24,850 easy going miles
Used them on 17 Lincoln Continental AWD for 40000kms. They are good when new but after 2 years they wear out lack grip a lot and need be replaced. Poor traction on snow even though it said as all all-season tire, no traction at all on ice. Don't try using them in winter (I used them in Vancouver with not much snow).

Given 44% while driving a Acura 3.2 TL (245/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,000 easy going miles
Absolutely the loudest tires I have ever owned. Constant hum at any speed and especially bad at highway speeds. Drives me crazy listening to the noise

Latest Continental PureContact LS Reviews

Given 67% while driving a Ford fusion (135/40 R19) on a combination of roads for 66,000 average miles
These handle very well. In fact these are the second set of them I have owned (slightly different compound now). That being said, I did enjoy the first set MUCH better. I am not sure what they did to these ones but I will never buy them again. In fact I will not be buying Continental Tires any time soon based on the customer service reply I received about my issue (read on). The issue I have are the flat spots when you park the car. The colder it is outside the worse it is. With the first set of these the flat spots would go away about 1-2km down the road (in any temperature) but with these, they never really 100% do. They are way worse then the first ones when it is REALLY cold out. It does get better the longer you drive but it never really goes away. Continental reply to me was "this is normal with high performance tires."
To be honesty, over the past few years I have taken the tires to FOUR different shops to have them balanced to see if it would help (even doing the full roadforce diagnostic). Every shop says they are good but the faster you go the worse it gets (over 120km/hr) the car has a slight bounce. It will not go away. When I put my winter tires/rims on the bounce/shake is gone. Anyways, now that I have used them for 4 summers they are VERY VERY slippery in the wet so I will be getting rid of them soon. I am nowhere near the 90,000 mile tread life that they claim (def. not the 700 tread wear rating like their website says). If you want a tire for the summer that handles very well (when they are newer) get these. They are not as quiet as my winter tires but the noise isn't bad. I never used them on ice or deep snow.

Given 59% while driving a Lexus ES350 (/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
LEXUS ES 350. Owned these tires for 12K miles for just over 1 year working with multiple Continental tire dealers and mechanics chasing down a vibration. Finally reached out directly to Continental. Continental customer service recommended I confirm it's a flat spot issue by putting car on stands overnight. Solved the problem for that morning. To have vibration every morning for the first 10 miles just got old and now I know it is something you have to accept. Especially hard to accept when I bought Lexus for a smooth ride. Kylie and Jose at customer service confirmed this is a characteristic for this type of tire. Skip this tire as I had it on all 4 tires. I live in Virginia with full four seasons and it happened in all weather. Otherwise once the vibration went away the tires worked well. Was hoping for a much better experience with my first set of Continentals but didn't pan out and cost me more than just the price of the tires. I would not recommend this tire in a 225/45 R18 Purecontact LS.
