Alfred's TakeAs stated earlier, this tire is designed for luxury sedans and coupes.
However, as original equipment (OE), it can be used as a direct replacement for worn-out pairs or set in place of the car’s original tires.
The complete set or pair can be used on other cars if there is the availability of the size, speed rating, load range of the OE tire that matches that of the car.
The Procontact TX is an all-season built tire that gives good traction in most weather driving conditions.
Also, it is M+S rated which makes it able to deliver good grip on wet driving surfaces, mud, and even on light snow.
For an all-season tire, it is not advised on heavy snow.
For extreme winter conditions, you are better off with winter tires.
Recommendation
This all-season radial tire combines good looks with good handling when driving.
It gives all the lovely features, different speed ratings, technology, and ability.
This tire is a good choice to buy if you get your luxury sedan and coupe size from its limited sizes.
Apart from the great qualities, this tire is quite affordable and gives better mileage.
Plus, its noise reduction, comfort, and great performance should also be considered.

Hi. What do you mean by light snow? Im from Iowa and we have 4 to 7 inches snow here during winter most of the time. And my new car have this tires. Do i need to get a new winter tires or this will do the job.thank you so much
Hi,
We have these tires on our 2019 Chevrolet Malibu – 245/40/R19, Procontact tx, Tpc. Spec. 1479 MS, 94W MS. This tire has less than 13,000 mlies on it. I believe it is original equipment. It has a growing bulge in the side wall. What is the process to replace this tire?? (very soon) My cell phone number is 269-330-1021. Should all 4 tires be replaced?
These tires are the noisiest I have ever owned. You can not hear the radio or talk on bluetooth phone when traveling over 80KM. Very disappointed!
