Performance

This tire gives low road noise with smoothness while driving and hence comfortable driving.

Dry Performance

You get excellent performance out of this tire on a dry surface.

For easy highway, pavement, and all kinds of dry surface you are good to go, with good steering performance.

However, the grip and handling are just about averagely good, nothing outstanding about their performance.

Wet Performance

You can expect great performance in its handling and grip when on a wet driving surface, as well as a good steering feel.

Snow Performance

Although named an all-season tire, you should not expect great performance from this tire during snow and it is not meant for extreme winter.

We suggest that you get winter tires for extreme winter.

Alfred's TakeAlfred's Take

The ContiProContact from Continental was designed initially for just European sports vehicles that are sold in North America.

However, the company later extended it to a wider range of sizes and widths.

Beyond its initial local availability, it was made available to more minivans and couples at affordable prices.
