Continental ProContact RX SSR
The Bottom Line
The ProContact RX SSR is suitable for drivers who value comfort and noise reduction on long drives, with a reasonable 45,000-mile warranty. However, its lower treadwear rating compared to category norms may lead to more frequent replacements, making it less appealing for those seeking longevity.
Important Note
The lower UTQG treadwear rating of 400 compared to the category average suggests a shorter lifespan, which might not justify the cost for some buyers.
Pros

- Treadwear warranty of 45,000 miles is a decent assurance for a grand touring all-season tire.
- Dry and wet grip scores of 7.5 provide balanced performance across different weather conditions.
Cons
- UTQG treadwear rating of 400 is below the category average of 683, suggesting shorter lifespan compared to competitors.
