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.

The Continental ProContact RX receives a heavily mixed reception from users, often serving as original equipment on electric vehicles like the Tesla Model Y. While some drivers appreciate their initial value and reasonable longevity given the vehicle's weight, others report severe shortcomings including rapid tread wear, poor all-weather traction, and durability issues.
Pros
- Reasonable tread life for an OEM EV tire given proper maintenance
- Cost-effective alternative compared to other expensive OEM options
- Acceptable dry road performance under normal driving conditions
Cons
- Rapid tread wear leading to premature replacement, particularly on heavy vehicles
- Subpar grip in wet and snowy weather conditions
- Concerns regarding structural durability, including reported sidewall separation
Worth knowing
- Tesla Model Y owners frequently noted accelerated tread wear, requiring tire replacement well before expected mileage limits.
- Drivers report significant difficulty with traction on inclines and in winter weather compared to alternative tires on identical vehicles.
