How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews

The Continental 4x4 Contact receives mixed reviews from users, praised for its comfortable, quiet ride and reliable dry and wet grip, but heavily criticized for its exceptionally rapid tread wear. While some drivers report satisfactory longevity up to 40,000–50,000 miles, a significant portion of reviewers experience premature wear between 10,000 and 20,000 miles, leading to questions about overall value for money.
Pros
- Good traction and grip on both dry and wet roads
- Low road noise and a smooth, comfortable ride quality
- Competent handling for light on-road and mild seasonal driving
Cons
- Extremely rapid and disappointing tread wear for a premium tire
- Poor performance and grip in deep snow, ice, and muddy off-road conditions
- High price point relative to the short lifespan and fuel economy provided
Worth knowing
- Drivers of heavier SUVs and crossovers (such as the Land Rover Freelander and Mercedes G-Class) frequently reported drastically reduced tread life.
- Owners utilizing the tires primarily for urban or town driving noticed accelerated wear patterns.
