Tyre reviews Continental ContiIceContact 2 SUV. Page 25 743

The car is working, it operates every day. Mileage is 28000 on winter tires, stud loss is 10%, I'm very satisfied.

After 5 days of use on the right drive minus 11 studs, on the left minus 7 studs, but I didn't count very carefully. I didn't accelerate sharply, didn't brake sharply. I was driving in the city. I'm shocked. The tire itself seems not bad at first glance, it's quite quiet. But the studs are beyond words, I've never had such a disaster. I think by the end of the season there won't be any studs left.

I've been choosing tires for my 23rd winter season behind the wheel, with an annual mileage of over 100,000 km as a taxi driver.
I'll say right away that Continental Contact 2 is the worst purchase and operation throughout my driving career.
When choosing, I dug through reviews and only now realized how marketers and advertising fraud easily misled me.
Words like safety, excellent, superior handling, clear trajectory, and silence with acoustic comfort - are just empty phrases that consumers expect!
So, about the tires - they are the noisiest of all that I've had.
The behavior of the car on dry, and even more so on wet asphalt, is unpredictable due to the composition of the liquid rubber mixture, tilting, and instability due to the soft sidewall, it's like driving on a mess, not a road.
Not only is it unpleasant to be in the car because of the noise, but it's also unpleasant to drive, especially when turning, as it enters the turn like a motorcycle, on three wheels, not four.
The braking distance is critically large on bare asphalt at positive temperatures, and maneuvers such as lane changes, overcoming rutting, and overtaking are hazardous, giving the feeling of floating on a ship on an air cushion.

Excellent tire, everything is very balanced.

I've been driving on Continental Contact 2 SUV R19, 235/55. The tire is quiet, doesn't vibrate much, but also doesn't make noise. When the temperature drops and the pressure and elasticity decrease, it would come off the rim and the air would escape completely. It's possible that it's a problem with the rim or the tire mounting, but with this size, it's necessary to regularly check the pressure. I've been driving for 10 years. Some of the studs have fallen out, and most of them have worn off. The car can drive on ice with four-wheel drive, but it's no longer confident, and with front-wheel drive, it doesn't want to start moving on ice at all. If the price is lowered, I want to buy Continental Contact 3. Share your opinion about this tire with a rim diameter larger than R17, as the innovative stud system is only available on R17 and above. There are complaints about the studs falling out, but it's not clear what diameter they are referring to. Thank you in advance.

I've already bought my second set at a discount. The first one lasted four seasons. I'm completely satisfied with the tires.
