Continental AllSeasonContact 225/55 R18 102 V XL

I had hesitated for a long time to buy them, mainly because of concerns about how they would perform in snow and slush. And I eventually did it; the winter, as short as it was, proved unchallenging to the tyres. And... I am delighted with how well they perform in such difficult conditions. Maybe if I went to the mountains the experience would be a little different, but driving mainly in the lowlands it is excellent. On dry road, I also don't see much difference between the summer ones I've been using so far (also from Continental). And the fact that I no longer have to make an appointment every few months for a swap is a big bonus (no time and money wasted). All in all, given the fact that you save on a second set of tyres and the fact that you have to swap the tyres twice a year, you can generally say that, because of the savings involved, you get �free tyres� every couple of years.

Having learned from experience, I know that there are some things you don't save on. Tyres, for example. On my previous tyres in the snow, I was able to drive a few more metres after applying the brake. And every driver knows that a few metres of difference in braking is like stopping in front of the lanes and stopping behind the lanes. The latter is unacceptable. That's why I chose what I thought was the best I could, and it turned out that it actually was. The tyres are excellent on the road and are also quiet. Highly recommended. Read more Collapse

The tyres were tested on both dry and wet road, as well as on snow. They perform without complaint. The braking distance does not differ from my previously used season tyres. They don't make any noise while driving, but they are a tad louder than summer tyres. I was surprised by the behavior of the tyres on snowy road. In my opinion, they are not inferior to winter tyres in any way. I can honestly recommend those premium tyres. Read more Collapse

The tyres compared to the previous ones are great; they hold up well on any road surface. I drive in various conditions; on dry road when moving off I have not managed to lose traction � which is a great thing; they grip to wet and snowy road too, at higher speeds they are quiet. I had emergency braking twice � it was close, but they managed beautifully, holding on to the asphalt. Highly recommended, well worth the price. Read more Collapse

Great tyres. Been using them for 6 years now. On the previous car without problems for 5 years with still a lot of tread left. I put Continental AllSeasonContact again on the new car shortly after purchase. They perform perfectly on dry asphalt, but they�re also great in winter on snow or slush. I sincerely recommend them! When these wear out, I will surely buy another set. Read more Collapse
