What exactly is the tire dimension? 235/40 R18 (as shown in the test) or 235/50 R18 (as shown in the menu)? I believe it's the latter since I can't find online the other dimension for SUV tires.
I don't have the original test to hand, but 235/50 r18 would make more sense for an SUV test
Why doesn't this test include the Continental 4x4Contact? Indeed, I can't find any test that you've ever done that includes this tire? I'm finding it very hard to choose between sticking with the original fit 4x4Contacts or switching to the Michelin CrossClimate (which is said not to be a traditional "all season" but based on a summer tire, as is the 4x4Contact, allegedly).
The Continental 4x4Contact isn't an all season tire in the way the Michelin CrossClimate is, so if you're looking for snow performance, it makes the choice much easier.
The Continental AllSeasonContact is Continentals first attempt at an all season tire in Europe, the 4x4Contact is more a traditional SUV tire which is M+S marked - I'm not even sure it's "three peak mountain and snowflake" marked (please let me know if you know!)
