Latest Continental crosscontact rx Reviews

Given 66% while driving a Kia Motors Carnival 2.2 Diesel (235/60 R18) on mostly country roads for 33,000 average miles
Dry grip I dont have an issue so far, however wet grip is pretty dangerous. On normal rainy day, going through a roundabout slowly but on hilly terrain will cause the car to skid and understeer. Noise is relatively good and wear is reasonable provided regular rotation is done, especially on heavy car like my kia carnival. I would prefer a different tire next time since there are few other tires with similar performance characteristics can be cheaper, like goodyear or yokohama.

Given 59% while driving a Kia Motors Carnival 2.2 Diesel (235/55 R19) on mostly town for 9,320 easy going miles
While these tires are relatively comfortable and the road noise isn't the worst I've experienced, their grip is terrible. In dry conditions you can get wheel spin, and in wet you WILL get wheel spin. When towing, they don't inspire a lot of confidence and I intentionally allow even more braking distance than I do with other tires.
Wear is also another issue. I've had to rotate and align the tires three times now (every 5,000km rather than the usual 10,000km), and they're still wearing quicker than they should. They were fitted by the manufacturer on my new car, I've travelled less than 15,000km, and I'm already looking at alternatives.

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!
Given 60% while driving a Land Rover Defender (255/65 R19) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
25.000 km on my Defender. The tires works very good on highways. No noticeable noise even at high speed. I would say that the performance in mud is not very good. I have lost 2 tires due to the rock cuts in the sidewall. I was driving a forest road not very rokcky.
