Touring All SeasonComfort
Continental Pure Contact LS
The Bottom Line
The Pure Contact LS is best suited for drivers who value long treadlife and comfort, with a solid 70,000-mile warranty backing it up. However, its wet grip performance is subpar, making it less ideal for those in rainy climates.
Important Note
Wet grip performance is notably lacking, which could be a concern for drivers in frequently rainy areas.
Pros
- Treadlife score of 8.7 and a 70,000-mile warranty ensure long-lasting performance, making it a strong choice for high-mileage drivers.
- Comfort and noise scores of 8 each contribute to a quiet and smooth ride, ideal for long-distance touring.
- Dry grip score of 8.5 provides reliable performance in dry conditions, enhancing overall handling.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 5.5 is below average for touring all-season tires, which could affect performance in rainy conditions.
- Lacks the 3PMSF rating, which means it's not optimized for severe winter conditions compared to some touring competitors.
- The Nexen N Priz AH5 offers similar dry grip at a potentially lower price, which might be more appealing for budget-conscious buyers.
