“I drive a 2018 Dodge Charger RT which is rear wheel and for all season tires these tires worked well in the snow, no anxiety like with cheaper off brand tires. Also good on wet pavement and awesome on dry.”
These tires were great for fuel mileage and we only had one flat tire even after driving many highways, canyons and gravel roads. They wore evenly, but the tread didn’t last very long. Almost to wear bars in 24k miles
These tires are HORRIBLE compared to the Michelin Pilot Sports 4S. On any driving condition, the Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+ is pretty bad compared to the Michelin tires. The handling is decent, performance is average. But the NOISE is unbearable. There is nothing comfortable hearing the noise these tires make. I'm hoping the treads are bad like some of the reviewers stated, so i can run these set down to go back the my Michelin again. I DO NOT RECOMMEND these tires to anyone.

I replaced the factory Continental Cross Contact Sports with these. I have to say they are good and bad. Steering response, wet traction and highway performance is good. However, they are much louder then the stock tires, ride firmer with noticeable harshness over uneven roads. There is also and odd hollow sound constantly while being a bit buzzy through the steering wheel.
I may return them for the OEM even though they were not the best in snow.

The road noise and vibration from these tires are horrible. I have driven 7,000 + miles on the tires and had them rotated once. The road noise and constant vibration from these tires will likely cause me to never purchase Continental tires again. Performance wise, these tires work well in Salt Lake City. We do not receive a lot of rain in Salt Lake so it's difficult for me to rate the tires in wet conditions. The tires now performance is good. The biggest downside to these tires is the road noise and constant vibration at the steering wheel.
I had a set of Pirellis Weather Centuriautos on my GTI and 2 developed bubbles and vibration within a couple thousand miles. They were replaced with these CONTROL CONTACT SPORT SRS+. Checked the ratings and they were listed as a quiet, comfortable tire. Horse hockey. There is a constant roar from the back of the car that wasn't there when I had the Pirellis. I don't think I can live with these for 60,000 miles. The Pirellis also had a much more aggressive tread pattern that worked well on the snow we're having this winter. The Continentals will barely make it up the short incline to my house.
A solid tire replacing some Pirrell's that were noisy, unpredictable and wore out quick.
Sidewall cornering is pretty solid, it's a much quiter tire and held up wonderfully in a pretty heavy rain storm
Well, I am seeing others revies and I just moved from Michelin's to these tires and I have been pretty impressed so far. Given the fact that my E class Benz is a heavy car (4200 Lbs.) all wheel drive with 369 lb-ft torque, these tires are wearing out really well. I have driven these in snow, rain and highway. With 9000 miles they barely look worn. My previous set of Michelin's wore off 10 K before their life (Granted this is a heavy car with lots of torque). I love them.
I drive a 2018 Dodge Charger RT which is rear wheel and for all season tires these tires worked well in the snow, no anxiety like with cheaper off brand tires. Also good on wet pavement and awesome on dry.
These things lasted quite a while, dry grip and handling was pretty good but wouldn't necessarily trust them as a reliable A/S tire in inclement weather. Had a sketchy moment in a patch of ice towards the end of its life when there wasn't much tread, so not necessarily the tires' fault. Overall pretty decent option if you're on a budget, especially if you're not too concerned about performance. Road noise is very minimal, and they're pretty comfortable too.
