230/50 19 Tire Review Highlights

Continental EcoContact 6 rated 50% while driving a Volvo XC40 T5 Plug In Hybrid
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 easy going miles
I hate these. Steering is imprecise, grip and handling in the dry is tolerable, but not brilliant. With some water on the road the grip disappears. Aquaplaning is horrible. I hit a puddle on the motorway at 70mph (yes, really, 70mph, not a fast interpretation of that) and nearly lost control of the car. Fast acceleration has these tires slipping; even moderate braking can trip the ABS. I'm throwing these away after just 2000 miles because they're so bad. I don't know what Continental have done here, they used to be able to make tires that actually worked. And I really don't understand why Volvo fit these as OEM equipment.
