Continental Tires Reviews

I've had these tires for roughly 5,000 miles (~3 months). One thing I can say that as good as these tires are on dry surfaces, they are equally as BAD on wet surfaces. They lose traction on the slightest of wet roads and will hydroplane across puddles...even at LOW speeds. Borderline dangerous to drive in wet weather, I'm taking them back to exchange them for a different brand.

These tires SUCK, buy at your own risk. Both, yes both front tires at the same time began to bulge at 27K miles. These were factory tires from Honda. NEVER, NEVER buy these. I contacted customer service about the issue hoping they would something, anything, their reply was, "It's your issue, most likely road hazard." What a way to handle it Continental, blame it on the customer and avoid any and all responsibility for your defective product. Showed it to my tire guy, He said broken steel belts, most likely a manufacturing issue, tires showed no signs of road damage.

I'm 77 years old and drive very respectably. That said I wanted to review my experience with Continental Sure Contact RX tires. The tires are good handling, quite, good in rain, etc, However, I only have 22,000 miles on them and only 4/32" tread remaining. I typically get a minimum of 45,000 miles out of tires. Very bad treadwear!. With the price of tires, I can't afford to buy Continental. I bought these tires from Tire Rack and they treated me excellently!

I buy my car on May 8 at the dealership. I had a tire leak on the driver side of the back tire and on the back passenger tire I have a nail and the tire went flat and they was Continental Tires that not good enough.

After 73,000 kms highway driving mostly, plus recent tire rotation and alignment, tread's less than 3, and almost bald on insides. Pure garbage tires, beware, they wear unevenly and are dangerous. Worst tires in my 48 years as a motorist.

I've driven Mercedes for 40 years believing in their safety. I recently had a belt break in my Continental tire while driving on the turnpike. I am a senior and could easily have been killed. Further inspection revealed another tire bubbling and ready to break! Tires are out of warranty of course, even tho driving mileage is low. Two faulty tires! Definitely a problem. Going back to Michelin.

Continental has Very horrible customer service and tire quality, My First front set of continental tires contisport 254/35 zr 21 on my Tesla, one of the tire blows out with 12,000 miles on it, so I had to buy front set of tires for $900 and then again one of tire blows out with 2000 miles in the same manner, so called continental for help and they say warranty is expired and asked me to take it to discount tires for further investigation and after wasting my two hours discount tires gets the same answer what I got, can't do anything as warranty is expired, Never buy this brand tires as the company does not stand behind their brand!!!! It's ridiculous!!!!

All other past and current cars have Michelin tires and never had a blowout at all. This blowout resulted in other additional damage to the car and cost me over $1500 to repair. I don't know what to think about Continental Tires.

Purchased a 2023 Nissan Altima equipped with Factory Continental Tires. 25k miles on the tires and my daughter had a blowout. Continental does NOT honor the tire warranty. They try to pin everything on the dealership when the cause of the blowout was clearly faulty manufacturing.

I purchased a set new from my local dodge dealer. 65,000 mile warranty tires. Have just over 22,000 miles on them and down to the wear bars. 1 tire now has a wobble to it. Religiously rotate may tires and yearly 4- wheel alignments. Today they get replace with some new Goodyears. I will never purchase thrash tires from Continental again. And yes I'm returning the garbage to the dealer to see if they will help me deal with the company that fails to back its warranty.

The poorest-quality tires that I have ever purchased had the worst warranty service. My brand new Tesla's front tire started leaking at 17,000 miles. I took it to TESLA and Mavis, and both people said the tire is fine; there might be some manufacturing issue. I contacted Continental, and I returned the tire to them. There was no reply after that, and when I inquired, they said the tire had side wall damage and was not covered. Where did the damage come from? It was not there on two facility checks. Everything is fraud, and they do not want to provide the warranty service promised. I will never buy nor recommend these tires in my life.

I purchased a 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec with the technology package, the stock tires are Continental garbage. To date the vehicle has 759 miles on the odometer. On top of having to air these up every two weeks due loss of tire pressure activating the sensor. I drive in the city and not that much as is evident by my odometer reading. These tires are dangerous and will likely lead to avoidable tragedies should the manufacturer actually care about the quality and safety of the equipment they pander. Acura is also at fault for not holding their supplier to strict performance and safety metrics. Also, for choosing a poor company to partner with, bringing brand reliability down with it.

Purchased continental tires due to good reviews (which I now believe were clearly fake) and had two blowouts and numerous bubbles all within one year. I finally decided to replace all the four tires with Michelins and have not had a problem since. In addition my daughter purchased a CRV with BRAND NEW Continental tires, less than one year and 20,000 miles later we are having to replace all four due to bubbles in sidewalls. I am waiting for some smart lawyer to start a class action against Continental as I see many people have had the same experience.

Our 2023 Integra came equipped with Continental Tires. With only 1500 miles on them, a blowout occurred driving over a railroad crossing at around 30 mph. There wasn’t anything abnormal about the crossing, just average bumpiness, but the sidewall on one of the tires blew out. Of course, Continental claimed “road hazard,” and refused to do anything about the tires. The attitude and knowledge of the customer representatives we talked to was poor. The tires had low mileage, were not driven on poor roads, and were maintained at the proper pressures. In my opinion, the manufacturing quality is extremely poor, and is matched by the company’s refusal to back their product.

I’ve seen numerous Continental tires with bubbles in the sidewalls on random cars, when I bought a brand new car (I was sad the factory tire was a Continental) and found a bubble in my sidewall after going over a speed bump, I was disappointed but not surprised. Luckily I have a full-size spare and switched it out. The warranty on a new car excludes road hazard as opposed to a set from a retailer. Boo! Cannot wait to replace with Pirelli or Michelin. It’s like the sidewalls are made of paper mâché and completely pathetic. Shame on Continental Tire for selling trash.

I purchased the above tires because Continental tires are highly rated. 65k miles warranty treadwear. Not cheap tires. The warranty fine print is for 72 months. I purchased for the 65k miles. Thinking these would be the last tires I will purchase. I drive very few miles on an annual basis. In 5 years I have driven 23k. The tire tread is down to the wear bar. I am not covered under the warranty. The warranty paperwork does not say conditional on rotating tires every 6 mos or 5000k miles. I rotate tires. Still worn out. The warranty is a scam. Purchase tires with a different brand. Do not believe mileage warranty relates to quality of tire.

I currently lease a 2021 Chevy blazer with 32k miles on it. On February 8th, 2023. I went into Taylor Chevrolet to get a tire repair due to a nail stuck in my front driver's side tire. I was advised that the tire P265/45/R21 could not be fixed, and I needed replace all tires because they were completely worn out. I was totally upset. How could ALL of my tires be worn out evenly at the same time with only 32k miles? I have my tires rotated at the dealership consistently. This led me to believe that I received a defective set of tires.

I just had these new tires installed a little over a year. While driving my car along I-5 with my son. The front passenger side tire just burst for an unexplainable reason. I was so shocked and afraid. As I know how dangerous it is to have a front tire burst while driving along a highway. Thus, endangering my life and my son’s as well. And mind the other commuters and drivers. I have some video how the tire look like when I stopped. And to be honest, I’m still wondering how I escaped and avoided a tragic accident. Good thing I was able to maneuver and handle my wheels, as straight as I can until I was able to put it to a complete stop.

Continental Tires causing vibration and only 20,000 miles. These tires also dry rot quick.. Looked up recall and the tire came up with that number. But NTB who sold them to me said that the number didn't match date of manufacturer's. Who is lying? Worst tires. I ever bought. Do not buy these tires.

My 2022 Kia Rio S came with Continental Tires. At under 8,000 miles, one of the tires went flat and could not be repaired. I took it to the dealership (an authorized reseller) and learned that Continental Tires do not stand behind their product. I always buy my new tires at Costco (which warranties their tires for road damage and gives prorated prices on tires that require replacement).

Do not buy tires from Continental Tire Company. They don’t stand behind their tires. My daughter's tires started dry rotting after two years. The tread separated from the sidewall of the tire. They wouldn’t warranty the tires. This company has had three recalls in the last 4years.

Continental DWS tires are a great performance tire that can also handle snow. Pretty decent longevity as well. Have a set on both my cars now. Really close to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on dry pavement, a little better on wet pavement.

I have bought 4 new vehicles that were equipped with Continental Tires and had issues with all but 1 set. 7 of the tires were replaced by the vehicle manufacturer due belt separation and/ or flat spots. Currently, I have 2 more that are needing to be checked due to vibration. In the future, if the vehicle I am looking to purchase has Continental Tires on it, I will walk away. I have talked to Continental's customer service several times and was told each time it was up to the vehicle manufacturer to take care of the issue.

Do not buy Continental Tires. The front are bald at 30000 km. They say 20000 km so I would need 3 sets a year. What a joke. I got Prelli tyres done 70000km better tyres. They said 20000km good. Would not buy Continental.

I have a 2013 Toyota Camry 16" base LE trim. Continental Control Contact Tour A/S Plus tires have serious quality issues. All the sidewalls cracked caused a blowout while I was driving. I've only been driven less than 30,000 miles on those tires with 80,000 miles warranty. The technician that looked at my car told me he doesn't often seen a tire blowout so uniformly on the sidewalls that appears someone slicing a cake with different portions. He said most tire blowouts would either ripped apart from sidewalls or look different than mine. He said those Continental tires had such a weak sidewalls that's what caused the issues with mine. I will never buy another Continental tires again. They have serious quality control issues and could have caused another person serious injury while driving on defective tires. And manufacturing defect only covered under 1 year. Do Not Buy from this brand!

Purchased a new 2018 Buick Encore Sport Touring. My car is now 3 years old and they told me I need new tires. I have 37,000 miles on 65,000 mile warranty tire and they are no good. I take my car for its regular service and tire rotation only at the dealer. I ask if there is a proration period on my tires. After checking into it they would cost me more to go that way rather than just buy them new without the proration. I ask how can a 65,000 tire be no good already and they reply was because of the roads. I have never had tires go bad so quick and will not invest my money into tires that will not last.

I have had 2 tires form a flat spot. It is not from road hazard. The tires just failed in the same way. It is obvious they have a defect but Continental will not acknowledge or do anything. I will never buy any tires from them again.

Have a 2016 Nissan Versa. Have been changing tires right and left since I bought this thing (car only has 35K on it).The Nissan dealer changed out all four original Continental Tires (which I paid for). Since then, in the last year, I’ve had to change out 3 of the four tires (all have gone bad/flat, etc.). I’ve been to Pep Boys three times in the past year (switching out these tires with Kelly tires), thankfully I have only one Continental tire left.

Had my 4 tires replaced on my Mercedes C Class by the local Mercedes dealership. At about 14K Miles (1.5 years later) I was returning from a trip and the rear of the car started shaking so violently I had to pull off the Highway to inspect. The Left Rear Tire Was obviously not round. After getting the car back home I contacted MB. They just said they were over a year old and would not warranty. I contacted Continental. They basically said talk to the dealership. I finally wrote a letter to MB stating my dissatisfaction being a long time MB owner. They finally agreed to replace the tire because of tread separation.

This is my 4th blowout in 5 months. Hit a pothole....Blowout (2). Curb your tire....Blowout. Run over unseen object ....Blowout. Cost. 310.00 per front tires. 360.00 per rear tires. Hands down the worse tires ever on a luxury car. Stay away low profile tires regardless if that's all there is because the stress, frustration and cost is not worth it.
