These were fitted to the rear of my BMW X5 40d m sport and they have today been replaced after covering 27,000 miles yes you have read that right. A brilliant tire with excellent wear rate on a heavy SUV and although mainly motorway I dont drive like a grandad either. These are also run flat.

Factory fit on a Skoda Kodiaq. Great ride/handling balance. Solid tire in wet or dry. Lasted for 28,000km before I replaced. Noisy when worn but wet & dry traction remained strong. Replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV which is better across most areas except handling - but thats a trade-off for better ride comfort.

Initially I thought the tires would be fine but shocked at 16k to see just about legal. This on a new 2021 Q5 diesel. On my previous A4 Quattro cars usually got around 24k. £608 for the four tires. Any other longer wearing SUV tires suitable?

Grip in dry and wet was acceptable if nothing special. The reason I wrote this review is to say that the wear has been appalling at 14000 miles before needing replacements on my Audi Q5 TFSI-e. These were fitted as OEM from new but I won't be putting any continentals back on it. I had a similar issue with the OEM continentals on my Audi Q2 which lasted about 13000 miles before needing new ones.

Overall well balanced tire. Dry grip on smooth roads limited, Traction control comes on regulary with acceleration in first gear on country roads that have a bit of blown dust on.
Never had a puncture in two sets that lasted average 34000 km each.. The tires are noisy on smooth roads. Lateral traction very good. Good load carry capacity with limited pressure growth with load.
Cornering well balanced - overall happy with their performance.

I bit noisy. It reaches it's legal limit at 20,000km Make steering a bit heavy. Overpriced Overall good grip both dry and wet conditions

Had these tires on my Audi Q5 since new. Tires are AO Equipment and done 16k miles and fronts down to 2m and rears to around 3.5mm. Been impressed with the tire wear and the performance of them on all characteristics. First 4x4 so changing tires all to a different brand for set up so will see how they go and report on them.

The wear rate is impressive, end of life is around 74000km. Comfort is good,

Fitted to Hyundai Tucson Premium - lasted no more than 11,000m and I am a careful driver who rarely gets over 70mph on the motorway - it’s is my age - 70! Will never fit these tires again!

Supplied new on car, shocking wear

I have driven these tires for 45.000 Km's on a VW Tiguan Allspace 2.0 BiTDi 240HP DSG7 R-Line 7seater. Very satisfying tire, factory fitment as oem tire. Only negative is the rather fast wear of it, you can calculate around 1mm wear every 8-9.000 Km's. Max life is 40-45.000 Km's. Also, the Seal Inside technology of Continental, gives you a rather peace of mind state on the road.

This is just a mid-life update. At 31,000 km the tread si worn to 5 mm (= 1 mm per 10,000 km). So, they might get to 55,000-60,000 km until worn down to 2 mm. My driving is mostly city with occasional longer motorway trips. The tires feel a bit noisier but otherwise still great in all aspects. Nowadays I would probably buy some newer tire since SportContact 5 is slightly old but otherwise I would recommend them anytime.

Very good in the dry, good in the wet , a smooth ride , but have to say only 14000 miles on a set on the front hardly seems value to me, also I believe these only come with 7 mm tread on them compared to 8 mm on most other brands. I still have the same original tires on the rear of car and now the second set on the front are due to be replaced...I would love to know what tires others have found that work better or last longer,

My 66 plate Tiguan came with these tires. The front tires were swapped out at 27,000 miles (with Avon ZX7's). I put the Contisports on the back axle and they are still there at c.3mm and just over 50,000 miles! I am now looking at whether to replace the front ZX7's (which will have done c.23,000 miles) with Contisports again, though I think the extra mileage from them doesn't justify the extra £30 a tire.

Great tire - handles really well. Very little road noise. Good comfortable ride. Very good breaking - have had to pull up sharply a couple of times and the tire has really responded. For an expensive tire though, I am a little disappointed with the total kilometers (just 45,000km). I have regularly rotated the tires, kept them balanced and front end aligned. I don't think they have had any tough driving conditions, and so the only reason I probably won't buy them again, is I'd like a tire with better mileage.
