Continental 4x4 Contact SSR
The Bottom Line
The 4x4 Contact SSR is best for drivers who value comfort and quietness in a touring all-season tire, with balanced grip in dry and wet conditions. However, its low treadwear rating and absence of a mileage warranty may deter those seeking long-term durability.
Important Note
The lack of a treadwear warranty and low UTQG treadwear rating suggest a potentially higher cost of ownership due to more frequent replacements.
Pros
- Comfort and noise scores of 8 make for a pleasant and quiet ride, which is ideal for long-distance touring.
- Dry and wet grip both score 7.5, providing balanced performance in various weather conditions.
- Handling score of 7.5 ensures predictable and stable driving, which is beneficial for everyday use.
Cons
- Treadwear rating of 360 is significantly below the category average of 1653, indicating a shorter lifespan compared to competitors.
- No treadwear mileage warranty is offered, which may concern buyers looking for long-term durability assurances.
- The Nexen N Priz AH5 offers a higher treadwear rating and may provide better long-term value for cost-conscious buyers.
