Continental Cross Contact UHP Reviews

Given 64% (breakdown) while driving a Mitsubishi (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly town for 11,000 average miles
Good tyre but terrible wear, lasted only about 10-12k miles on front tyres. Would not buy again because of this.

Given 93% (breakdown) while driving a Land Rover Range Rover Vogue Westminster (255-50-20-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 31 average miles
These tyres were original equipment on my Range Rover Westminster. They have done 31,000 miles, mostly on country roads at no more than 70 mph, so far and I am advised that there is sufficient tread for another 2 or 3,000 miles on the rear tyres, more on the front. Contrary to the comments above, I found that mileage disappointing as I got more than 50,000 miles on Goodyear Wranglers on my last Range Rover. For slick-looking tyres, the Continentals coped surprisingly well in muck when I went across fields and plough during the shooting season; and also the snow and ice in the English 2010/11 winter

Given 86% (breakdown) while driving a Volvo XC90 D5 185 HP (235-65-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 21,000 spirited miles
I have had Continental tyres before and they were great but seemed to wear a little too quickly (maybe 16000 miles on the front of a 2.0TDi Audi A6) but these are the first I've had on an SUV (XC90 2.4TDi) and they have done very well - 21000 miles on the front and I still have 4-5mm of tread on the back pair. Very impressed with the quality from all perspectives :-)

Given 93% (breakdown) while driving a Mercedes Benz ML (250-50-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Got these at the front of my Mercedes ML. Seems pretty good and very quiet but it might be more to do with the car than the tyres. Compared to what I'm used to before when I used to change tyres every 10k with my previous E Class. If these will last 15K, I would be absolutely delighted.

Aquaplaning seems its best point.

So far so good. No complaints.

Given 54% (breakdown) while driving a Land Rover Freelander 2 (235-60-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 4,500 average miles
Great grip in the wet and dry, They do generate a fair amount of road noise and give a firm ride. But and is a big but god do they wear quick, i dont drive hard and the tyres have worn 3-4 mm in 4500 miles not good. I would not buy them again but only because of the wear rate.

Given 50% (breakdown) while driving a Land Rover Range Rover V8 Vouge (255-50-20-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15,000 easy going miles
Have driven Range Rovers for 5 years and these are the quickest wearing tyres I've ever had. No problems with them, other than they just wear down incredibly quickly - just 15,000 miles of very calm driving (I tend to drive to get the best out of diesel). Simply not good enough, as previous tyres have lasted for 25k-35k miles.

Driving on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
The Continental Cross Contact Tyres on my Toureg Blue Motion are very good, except for the rate at which they wear. But all in all they are a great tyre which seem to last longer than other makes of tyre.

Given 71% (breakdown) while driving a Audi A6 (225-55-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 60,000 spirited miles
Much firmer than the OEM Pirelli P6 allroad. Great dry and wet grip. Wear was average with tyres needing to be rotated at 10k miles. Car is 4WD so wouldn't get more than 20k miles from a set.
