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
43/100From 9 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
75/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
By discipline: % of the best tire in each test.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 9 owner reviews found online.
The Continental ContiVanContact 200 receives mixed reviews, with users frequently praising its initial performance in both wet and dry conditions. However, a significant portion of owners report premature and uneven tread wear, particularly on the outer edges, which leads to a substantial decline in grip and safety as the tire ages.
Pros
- Strong initial grip and handling performance in both wet and dry conditions
- Comfortable ride quality
- Acceptable fuel efficiency
Cons
- Rapid and premature tread wear
- Significant loss of wet-weather traction as the tread depth decreases
- Pronounced uneven wear patterns, specifically scalloping and outer-edge degradation
- High price point relative to the tire's longevity
Worth knowing
- Users of VW Transporter (T6) vans frequently report severe outer-edge wear and loss of wet grip after approximately 13,000 to 20,000 miles.
- Mercedes Vito owners noted poor performance on loose surfaces like grass and mud, describing the tire as unsuitable for non-paved environments.
