Opinion from outside the UK

I don't know if I should praise them. Continental ContiSportContact 2 are pre-installed in many cars. First I threw winter tyres away, because it turned out they practically can't be used on snow. Now after 12000 miles some lumps formed on one of the tyres. Someone will say that it's because I hit a hole or a curb. And yes, I did that, but it happened a few days earlier and I did that with a different wheel. So how did it happen? I had Nokian tyres on my Accord, the wheel could get shattered into pieces and the tyres were still intact. Continental ContiSportContact 2 are heavily overrated and not worth the money spent on them, and they are ones of the most expensive tyres. It can't be also rated as quiet. Winter Goodyear UltraGrip 7 were quieter... Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

They were fitted as standard on my car, I walked 52.000Km then I had to throw them away. Good in the dry, but in turn it must be correct because often inaccurate. Wet suits only at very low speeds in the city or on the straight although they have a slight tendency to aquaplaning; in Urva on roundabouts and at normal speed I risked several times to go right, and at every opportunity I had promised myself to NOT take longer - in fact replaced this year with other brand. It consumes very edges and after two years became quite hard, the noise increases over time and is bearable for a drive around town and out of town, but the highway begins to feel and be annoying.

Opinion from outside the UK

I replaced the two front tires only on the Continental model. The weak feature of the tires is a significant increase in fuel burned. There are also the quiet. The car on dry pavement behaves correctly. A big plus for the inhibition of the water. Well in puddles, and a width of 225 is sometimes a problem. I drove 14tyś kilometers and one of the tires showed a defect on the lateral edge, which results in its replacement. There will choose the second time this model. Read more Collapse
