Continental PureContact LS All Season 225/55R17 97V Passenger Tire

I have been using Michlin tires but since Michlin stopped making the tire that came on my car and I tried to, buy the same tire even called Michlin, so I decided to try these Continental tires since they were highly recommended by Consumer Reports. I love these tires; they hold the road well and ride better like the more they are driven on (a 45-profile tire is too narrow to ride great). I can't tell if they are louder than my original Michlin tires, but they are quiet my only complaint is that I dropped a few mpg on my car, but the handling of these tires are so good and I think that the mpg will improve over time. I highly recommend these tires to anyone wanting to get a tire that holds the road like these do. They are made in Portugal, but they are a quality tire. These tires have made me to consider Continental over Michlin. The price on the Continental was much better to I paid two hundred and six dollars a tire and Michlin was three hundred dollars a tire. Of course, I that did not include mounting and balancing that was a little over a hundred dollars which included lifetime rotations, balancing, flat repair and road hazard. But Continental gives you three years of road hazard with the tire and even roadside assistance for a flat. These also include a 70,000-mile wear and the Michlin were 55000. I have driven these tires about three thousand miles.
