I installed these on my 04 2500hd gmc for hauling long distance with my rv. By far the best tire I’ve had plenty of traction while off-road while on road wear is minimal have hauled an 11,000 lb camper across the country twice on this set and they are holding up very well. During an ice storm in Eugene oregon I was able to put 4wd on and I was passing cars and trucks left and right.. if you value your safety on and off road I would purchase a set of these

What drivers say about their 235/45 R16 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
These are the "summer" tires on my Defender, for winter use I have BFG A/T which I am more than happy with.
Two points I want to make about the Continentals:
1: While they are not directional they do wear in a manner governed by direction. If they are swapped from side ti side they sound very much as if all the wheel bearings are about to fail. Not nice.
2: On snow and ice at about freezing point they are much more likely to spin than the BFGs.
I have these fitted on my Range Rover Evoque SD4 and I have no issues with them. Good grip. Yet to test them with 4x4 I winter.
