Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
Got these after reading reviews at tirereviews.com, replacing the OEM Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 tires on our Tesla Model 3. And they have lived up to the reviews. Compared to the Hankooks, they give a much more comfortable ride on good surfaces, as well as poor ones and over bumps in the road, but still allowing you to feel connected to the road. The ride also feels really planted, with excellent grip, giving me more confidence around corners and in the rain. Noise levels may be marginally higher, and EV efficiency has gone down slightly (134 instead of 121 Wh/km). Remaining factor will be tire life - I got 55,000km out of the Hankooks, so hopefully I get something similar with these Continentals. I am still curious to see what the Hankook iON AS tires are like, but the extra cost of those over these Continentals makes me think more than twice about getting them, so likely to stay with these Continentals next time.

Bought these to replace Kormoran UHP.
Wanted a "top 5" tire, but at the best price as possible. Came over Hankook ventus Evo, as a good allrounder option. Compared with the usual Ps5, Asymetric 6, and Premium contact 6/7, Pirelli C7 cf3, the hankook at least in norway came at a better price. I have not yet tested evo s1 or evo s3. I am not sure where the Ventus evo sits between the prime and S1 series performance wise. Maybe between those two.
I am not to say the Ventus Evos are better than any of the other mentioned options. But for what they replaced the difference is night and day! And for myself and 95% of other drivers, we wont be able to tell much difference betweens these evos and any of the other premium brands. This is how good the top tires are nowadays. I earlier have had premium contact 6 and primacy 4 on my cars for reference. The hankooks are more comfortable than both of those, but maybe not the same initial steering response than the contis. But at normal driving, you will never notice.
The upside are as mentioned; comfort, a solid, even handling caracteristic, maybe the best wet grip i have ever felt. The abs almost dont interfear anymore when panic-braking at wet surface! In norway with over 300 rain days per year, that means a lot!
The other positive are rolling resistance. The car glides like ive never felt before, better than contis and michelin, and heaps better than the kormoran, wich felt like driving with the brakes on.
The sidewall looks the best, on par with pilot sport series. And a nice, subtle rim protector also.
Have not tested wear yet, but normally in norway tires get changed because of age before wear, because of the extra winter set and the low speeds/cold clima. We dont wear out tires as fast as in the warm, high speed countries. I suspect wear will not be an issue for me.
All in all a great tire and i mabye have forund my go-to, allround tire in the Hankook Ventus Evo !
Strongly recommed this.

Stood on the car when i bought it. Drove theese for 1,5 summer season. Three words; Do Not Buy!
My background is a tire nerd. And experience from only the best tires. So this tire came as a shock.
- Wear, terrible. From 3mm to the cords at 8000km.
- Road noise, extremely hugh and boomy. Passangers thought wheel bearing where gone.
- wet grip. Borderline dangerous. A lot of understeer and terrible wet braking.
- dry grip. Ok. But the same time this is the only tire i've lost grip on spritited but controlled driving.
- driving feel. Not consistent. Sometimes good, and sometimes it feels like the sidewall desintegrates.
Later changed to Hankook Evo Prime. And the difference is night and day in every terms!
Dont save hundred dollars on the difference between safe and unsafe tires!

I replaced the OE Pirelli P7’s, which had outstanding wear characteristics (37k and still had 3mm) but had poor wet grip and had huge tire roar in the cabin, with these Continental AllSeason tires back in November 2022. They are excellent. Fantastic grip in the wet and in snow and wear seems to be going well too, having covered 16k and they still have 4mm all round. And the biggest bonus is the lack of tire roar in the cabin too. Obviously these have now been superseded by the 2’s but I’m sure they’re just as good.
Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72 rated 90% while driving a Tesla 2024 Model 3 RWD

New tire without any reviews when i bought it. But Kumho is decent tires and PS71 have been doing really good i recent tests and i tought that the successor must be at least as good. I have zero regrets buying this tire. Its really grippy, responsive and fun to drive. The Michelin E-primacy i had on the car before was really boring and terrible wet grip, but would probably last longer than i could stand keeping them. The PS72 is really close to the Continental Sport Contact 6 i had on other cars before in real world driving. The only thing i dont know about is the wear. The tires is really soft and thats fun but time will tell how well they last.
At least when new - a perfect tire for the sporty daily driver!

I can tell you I switched to Conti SC7 this year, and boy, are they brilliant. Unlike Bridgestone Potenza Sport, I think these are stickier. I disliked Potenzas because they became very plasticky after one season, and worse after that. They also required more time to get heat and grip in them, and they were also extremely loud and harsh due to the rock-solid sidewalls. Granted, that gives you somewhat better steering precision but on normal roads - the comfort was awful. SC7 are just perfect:)
Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II rated 53% while driving a Honda Accord

Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
It's just a noisy summer. Very noisy. Apparently the rubber is very hard, since Treadwear is as much as 700! Wear for 25,000 km +/- 2 mm of tread worn out. This rubber is useless in snow and ice. Because of the same hardness. On a front-wheel drive car, it cannot overcome a 2-3 cm hill on the snow while standing still, I had to push it out with my hands. On ice, the rear part is thrown to the sides at a speed above 70 km on a practically clean road. In the end, I bought normal winter wheels, now I choose summer and no Allseason! Never! By the way, the car just arrived on them from the USA and they were new, well, you can't change new rubber))

Pirelli P Zero Winter rated 44% while driving a Porsche 992 Carrera 4S

I drive a 992 Carrera 4S in the Pacific Northwest. I'm using the Porsche OEM version of this tire (N-rated). In the snow I've had no problems with grip, under normal fairly cautious driving. But that is where the benefits of this tire end for me. In the dry or damp, the handling feels unpredictable in bends in a way I've never had before, like the grip limits are far lower but it's hard to sense at what speed or how it will behave. In the wet, these are abysmal. I've had ABS kick in under just slightly harder-than-usual braking. On a slightly damp surface (a couple hours after rain), a friend with the same car but on summer tires (in 37F / 3 C weather!) did a hard 0-60 at a highway entrance without issue - I was behind him and tried the same, but got wheel spin and wheel hop as the AWD scrabbled for traction. I'll also add that the rubber on the sidewalls appears to be breaking down, the tires are 2.5 years old and have always lived indoors.
If your winter is mostly snowy, these are not bad, but if you get mild rainy winters with minimal snow, like the PNW, I'd avoid these.

This is an exceptional tire, hard to break traction in the wet or dry. Comfortable, confident and long lasting for a performance tire.
Hankook iON Evo rated 61% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR

Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
It's a good quiet and comfortable tire for my EV, however the grip is quite limited compared to PS4 or PS5. A bit of an unfair comparison but I feel grip is the most important rather than comfort. Dry grip is just slightly above average, wet grip is average.
Was swerving to avoid an object on the road, the tire screeched loudly and provided just barely enough grip during that situation. If it was ps4 or ps5 in the same situation, there probably will not be any screeching and would have plenty of grip left over.

Been using this tire since October 2024, however during today balancing and Allignment check, 3pcs of the tire was bloated and unusable, need to replace new tire. Disappointed with Giti Tire. Defiantly will not buy again. Piece of junk product from China.
