Tyre reviews Continental ContiIceContact 2 SUV. Page 9 752

A month of operation in city mode - in running-in mode, maximum speed up to 70 km/h. The result is - as they didn't know how to make tires in Russia, they still don't know how, and they probably won't be making them - because "what's the point?".... After 700 km of pioneering driving in the city, more than half of the studs ARE GONE!!!! I don't know who wrote that they lost two studs in three years... The tire is NOISY and HARD! For the first time in my life, I saw how they COULDN'T put it on at the tire shop - they had to shoot 2-3 times from the pneumatic balloon to make it unfold - what kind of clay do they need to add to the rubber to make it like a hundred-year-old galosh?... Expected disappointment...

Tires were delivered a couple of days later than the specified deadline when ordering, but it's not critical.
Tires are clean, externally stored properly.
All 4 tires are of the same production date - 44th week of 2023.
As a user, I am confident, since I have been using the same Continental IceContact 2 tires since 2020 on another car. These tires still provide confident driving in the conditions of the Ural winter.

The quality is good. I'm satisfied

Tires of almost 2-year production

Continental ContiIceContact 2 SUV 215/55 R18 99T XL tires. I've driven in all conditions: snow, ice, frost -36° and thaw up to +6°, slush, highway, etc. and they always perform normally. But then I noticed a bulge on the sidewall, so I had to buy another tire. I don't know what caused the bulge, I didn't have any strong impacts. Maybe it's a factory defect, or something else. But most likely, the sidewall is just too soft. So far, none of the studs have come out.

Great! Soft tires.

For now, the impression is positive. I haven't driven on the highway yet. At the end of the season, I'll check the condition of the studs.

The tire is excellent, moderately soft. Delivered on time.

expected more...

Good tires. Since there is no winter yet, it's hard to say about winter properties. But the brand itself is known for its quality. I hope it won't disappoint this time either.
