Tread life is the main owner concern with the Continental Cross Contact UHP, attracting 18 criticisms against nine positive comments, although some report long service. Mid-life and end-of-life accounts include both early wear and more satisfactory life, so mileage expectations remain variable. Dry and wet grip are more often praised, each receiving seven positive mentions and one criticism. Around one in six owners criticise ride comfort, while noise is evenly divided between praise and complaint. Across 31 reviews the average is 62.6%, and the single repeat owner remains positive rather than showing a wider pattern of decline as the tire wears.

I agree with the reviews of the Conti's, appalling wear, our car is a late 2012 outlander and has only just covered 8500 miles but the outer edge of the front tires are gone completely...as others we are gentle with the driving and cornering.

Much better than the previous bridgestone, noticable change in the fuel consumption, no problems in the snow and wet in aberdeenshire. 15000 miles so far with even wear after rotation. I will be using these again with out a doubt
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Continental Cross Contact UHP? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
Pretty good but not as good as the Goodyear F1 4x4 tire. These are fairly decent for high speed 4x4 tires but I have less confidence in cornering at speed in the wet. At the price I paid, well below published prices they represent good value considering their minimal wear rate which is probably due to being a slightly harder compound.
A descently performing touring tire. Wear as expected and especially on an suv not very good, I know I cant ask for much in terms of performance but the wheels are 18s and the Cayenne has an air suspension yet the comfort not the best I have experienced. Overall its a descent tire with not many hi-points or low ones for that matter..
Fitted as standard on Mitsubishi Outlander Gx3. Good grip in summer on dry roads, average to good in wet (no problems, just seem to slip a little when pushed hard, but always progressive)
Main problem is wear. I am not a heavy footed driver, but do drive "spirited" at times. I found the wear on these tires absolutely shocking. By 9k I had noticed quite a lot of wear, by 18k they were completely shot.
2nd issue is the cost - they are definitely at the "top end" when it comes to replacement cost, and there are much cheaper options available that are supposed to wear better. I was recommended a Nankang or Hankook
Put a pair of these on the front of a Range Rover, lovely tire but they
wore out in just 5k (gentle) miles. My Range Rover is driven very calmly
and I couldn't believe that these tires were worn out in just 5k. Shame,
as definitely would have bought again if wear was accetable.
I put these on my ML350 over a year ago and have done 16K and these tires have hardly worn, are very quiet and inspire confidence! The best tires I've ever had by far!!!

Good tire but terrible wear, lasted only about 10-12k miles on front tires. Would not buy again because of this.
