What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

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.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 7 owner reviews found online.

The Continental 4x4 SportContact receives highly polarized feedback, with users divided primarily on the tire's longevity and wet-weather performance. While some owners report exceptional tread life exceeding 50,000 miles, others express significant dissatisfaction regarding traction, particularly in wet conditions and on loose surfaces.

Pros

  • Exceptional tread longevity for high-mileage drivers
  • Consistent performance across multiple replacement sets

Cons

  • Poor traction and wheel spin in wet conditions
  • Inadequate grip on mud or loose surfaces
  • Mediocre dry pavement handling

Worth knowing

  • Performance on AWD vehicles, such as the Volvo, is noted as lacking in terms of off-the-line traction.
  • Owners of Range Rover Sport (RRS) models report significantly higher satisfaction with tread life compared to other users.
