Customer Reviews
A great tire for the price and a great install by America's Tire!
This is my third set of Continental Control Contact tires. I use them on both of my automobiles and have found them reliable and smooth riding for both cars. One set of tires purchased in 2085 now has almost 8600 miles (the other set purchased about the same time is much less, about 3500 miles. The price increases on each purchase, but that happens on everything purchased these days on most quality products. I recommend them to anyone who has any question of the dependability of any tires,
I immediately noticed the traction and grip to the road when making turns was better on wet pavement than my previous Michelin and Continental tires.
