Great tyres for my ride

Installed on Volvo V50


I had always been getting low mileage, bad traction on the tarmac, and noisy, uncomfortable rides prior to using these Continental ContiCrossContact. Upon changing to ContiCrossContact am I impressed about tyres that perform astoundingly. Durable, slow wear and tear rate of the thread, ideal contact with the tarmac thus better traction, smooth and comfortable rides throughout, perfect grip on both dry and wet conditions, these set of ContiCrossContact tyres gave me the confidence I had been lacking on tough busy roads of Singapore. Sells for quite a heavy price tag, I personally think these tyres are reasonably priced for its performance though.

What I like
Perfect all around performance every driver would want.

What I do not like
May be quite costly for average drivers.

Good grip & braking in wet or dry road

Installed on Toyota Harrier


I change from Bridgestone Sports UP to this .Recommended by Stamford Tyre staff. Was actually looking for Michelin SP4 but when along with. I actually surprised by the performance especially during wet weather.Good short braking response. Although on the pricing is a bit expensive but it value for money...No regrets..

What I like
Braking response.

What I do not like
A bit pricey.

Tread wears off fast, but the performance is good while it lasts


This tyre doesn't justify the price it carries mainly because of how short the lifespan is. But at least the performance is excellent while it lasts. Grip, stopping distance and silence are all one of the best I experienced so far. Conti really needs to work on the lifespan of their tyres...

Grips like crazy but doesn't last very long


I had this before my current Goodyear, and the dry and wet grip is almost as good my current Goodyears. The handling and braking is about the same for both tyres, and I have never aquaplaned with these tyres also. The ride is more comfortable than the Goodyears but is noisier though. However, the main reason why this tyre loses out to the Goodyears in my opinion is because the tread wears out super fast. I had to replace after about 17000km. Considering the short lifespan and the price tag I feel that is not really cost-effective.

What I like
Dry and wet grip is excellent, handling and braking also good. Comfortable and quite quiet also.

What I do not like
The short lifespan doesn't justify the big price tag

A good all season tyre that's let down by short treadlife


I shouldn't really be complaining about it's short treadlife because it's a summer UHP tyre, but it still annoys me. Anyways, the handling characteristics of this tyre is very, very good, and the hydroplaning resistance is one of the best for Continental's tyre range. The wet and dry grip is also great. The ride is quite quiet and comfortable, but nothing remarkable.

What I like
Very good braking and cornering performance. Amazing hydroplaning resistance. Good wet and dry grip

What I do not like
Treadlife is short and seems bit expensive for its treadlife.
