Continental Tires Reviews

Continental Tires offered a $120 rebate on a set of four tires. However, the required receipts for the rebate were not provided by Discount Tire when the tires were installed and my on-line purchase receipt wasn't adequate for the rebate. Continental Tires company makes the rebate process intolerable and very time consuming. Probably won't get tires offered by them with rebates in the future if at all.

Purchased 4 brand new, higher end, Continental Tires from Mavis on 5/31. Rebate offering of $110 on purchase of 4 tires didn't start until 6/1 (as in, the next day), which happened to fall on a Sunday, when most mechanics/shops would be closed. Nevertheless, I submitted my receipt and filled out all the appropriate paperwork online, and it got rejected/declined.

Poor customer support. Have ContiProContact M+S and chunks are coming off the tires. Too bad, so sad say Conti. NO MORE CONTI TIRES. I will no longer buy any NEW CAR with Contis also. They can change them out to sell me the car.

Tires are noisy & it doesn't "feel" right driving on them. I think I should replace these tires which only have 24,204 miles & 2 1/2 years on them, especially after reading of all the blowouts in reviews on this site.

I bought 4 Continental tires/General tires 4 years ago. The tires were supposed to last 70,000 miles. 2 of the tires failed after about 35,000 miles. Small chunks of rubber were coming off these 2 tires and one went flat because the chunk came off. I contacted Continental Tires because there was a recall due to improper manufacturing on some of their tires. I was advised to go to a retailer that carried their brand and ask their opinion of the the defective tires. In good faith I asked the retailer to install 2 Continental/General tires that most closely matched the 2 defective tires. I asked the tire store to examine the 2 defective tires when install the new tires. They were not sure what the cause of the chunks of rubber coming off was.

I've had 2 sidewall blowouts within 8 months and car seldom leaves the yard. Both times was stranded because no spare came with car and haven't found one that will fit yet. I hit pot holes both times but pot holes I have hit with other cheaper tires a million times with no problems.

Always bought these tires for my trucks. Last purchase I bought 2 tires and my SUV has been shaking a lot. Had balance done 2 times no luck. Called Continental they told me buy 2 more tires then send back bad tires and if they find a problem they will reimburse me which could take months. No thanks. Will never buy again.

I made an appointment November 21, 2024 to have new Continental tires and misc repairs done on my Subaru Outback. The dealer wasn't able to get the car in till December 11, 2024. Upon completion I went to submit the $110 Continental Tire Rebate for the purchase of four tires. The rebate site said"expired", program ended November 30, 2024. I contacted Continental Tire customer service and provided proof that the repair was scheduled on November 21, 2024. The request was denied, even though the tire replacement was scheduled during the rebate period.

I have bought new tesla model y 2024 model and it came with Continental Tires. But unfortunately within 8 months and 37000km the tires got finished when I called customer service a lady named megan said that tesla cars are heavy and the tires should be changed every year lol what a joke you guys are thiefs, 0 customers service and 0 quality tires.

Very disappointed in Continental. Placed an order on Tire Rack for 4 Viking Contact 7 tires mounted and balanced on 4 new rims. When trying to submit the rebate, found an installation receipt was required. While telling Continental customer service I put the mounted tires on my vehicle myself, (being already mounted on rims) I was told I didn't qualify for the rebate. I offered to sign a separate document, provide pictures with the tires on my vehicle, all fell on deaf ears. I went through the same scenario 4 years ago for my previous vehicle and had no issues with the rebate. Luckily my tires/rims hadn't shipped yet and I was able to cancel the order. Terrible customer service from Continental for a returning customer, never again will I go through this aggravation.

This was the first set of Continental tires and it was very disappointing. Had them installed on a 2021 Honda pilot touring model. Tires appeared to be wearing and performing well however one day when the car was parked and not running one of the tires blew doing 4000.00 worth of damage to the car. Of course I contacted continental however they assumed no responsibility. Tires had 8000 miles on them. I trashed the other three tires and went back to Michelin. I am an old man and never in my life has a tire blown while sitting in the driveway. Do yourself a favor and stay away from continental tires!!!

I would NOT buy Continental Tire ever again. These tires are defective. All my tires have slice on them which continental claims it's curb damage because the factory aluminum rims show some scratches. I park my car inside my house. I don't park near curbs. I tried their claim process at discount tire which is trash.

Purchased brand new 2022 Jeep compass. With 29000km Continental tires are completely bald.. Never seen this before. Absolutely terrible tires!!! No coverage or warranty as they say wear and tear. Lmao. 29000 km. Really??

Continental Tires were on my used Volvo (less than 40K miles with 2 brand new tires on the back) when I purchased it less than 6 months ago. Two nights ago my son was driving my car on the highway when the right rear tire, one of the new tires, blew. See image attached. There were no obstructions on the road. The tow truck tech said this looked like a manufacturer defect. We are lucky no one was hurt! I've never seen anything like this before!!

Have a 2024 Ford Maverick that was equipped with Continental Pro Contact 225/65/17 OEM tires. After 13k miles noticed how tires were wearing. Had 3-4 32nds left. Called continental and filed claim. They instructed where I had to go and get inspected. Did so and they offered a prorated discount on same tire. It was sad and a waste of my time. They were nice on phone when called. Will not consider their products after this.

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.
