Outstanding Tires
Original Equipment Tire 215/55 R17 94H for our brand new 2012 VW Passat SE 2.5, pushing 60k miles now. Quiet, great traction in heavy snow, hot dry pavement and pouring rain. Great high speed performance 80+ mph on midwest interstates for hundreds of miles at a time. Just rotate them and keep the alignment checked. Like them so much I bought a set in 225/50 R17 98V for my 06 BMW 530xit. Now the BMW rides and drives like new. I have a very high level of confidence in this tire and I'm going to put a new set of the OEM's right back on the Passat. Great Job Continental and keep up the good work. Thanks Ted M.

Lasted 70 miles
I never had these tires before but from reviews thought a would try them because no tires I buy last the mileage they claim and did not want to pay the Michelin price. They were rated for 70,000 miles and I am up to that and still have them on my 2013 Mustang V6. A lot of road noise but my last tires had good bit road noise too. I will buy them again they have been a great tire!
