Given 46% while driving a Audi Q5 (245/45 R19) on mostly motorways for 16,000 average miles
Initially I thought the tires would be fine but shocked at 16k to see just about legal. This on a new 2021 Q5 diesel. On my previous A4 Quattro cars usually got around 24k. £608 for the four tires. Any other longer wearing SUV tires suitable?

Had these tires on my Audi Q5 since new. Tires are AO Equipment and done 16k miles and fronts down to 2m and rears to around 3.5mm. Been impressed with the tire wear and the performance of them on all characteristics. First 4x4 so changing tires all to a different brand for set up so will see how they go and report on them.

Given 73% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan (235/55 R18) on mostly motorways for 21,000 spirited miles
Overall well balanced tire. Dry grip on smooth roads limited, Traction control comes on regulary with acceleration in first gear on country roads that have a bit of blown dust on.
Never had a puncture in two sets that lasted average 34000 km each.. The tires are noisy on smooth roads. Lateral traction very good. Good load carry capacity with limited pressure growth with load.
Cornering well balanced - overall happy with their performance.

Fitted to Hyundai Tucson Premium - lasted no more than 11,000m and I am a careful driver who rarely gets over 70mph on the motorway - it’s is my age - 70! Will never fit these tires again!

Given 77% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace 2.0 BiTDi 240HP (255/40 R20) on mostly motorways for 27,000 spirited miles
I have driven these tires for 45.000 Km's on a VW Tiguan Allspace 2.0 BiTDi 240HP DSG7 R-Line 7seater. Very satisfying tire, factory fitment as oem tire. Only negative is the rather fast wear of it, you can calculate around 1mm wear every 8-9.000 Km's. Max life is 40-45.000 Km's. Also, the Seal Inside technology of Continental, gives you a rather peace of mind state on the road.

Given 76% while driving a Opel Insignia B (235/50 R18) on a combination of roads for 19,200 average miles
This is just a mid-life update. At 31,000 km the tread si worn to 5 mm (= 1 mm per 10,000 km). So, they might get to 55,000-60,000 km until worn down to 2 mm. My driving is mostly city with occasional longer motorway trips. The tires feel a bit noisier but otherwise still great in all aspects. Nowadays I would probably buy some newer tire since SportContact 5 is slightly old but otherwise I would recommend them anytime.

Given 64% while driving a Hyundai Tucson (245/45 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 14,000 easy going miles
Very good in the dry, good in the wet , a smooth ride , but have to say only 14000 miles on a set on the front hardly seems value to me, also I believe these only come with 7 mm tread on them compared to 8 mm on most other brands. I still have the same original tires on the rear of car and now the second set on the front are due to be replaced...I would love to know what tires others have found that work better or last longer,

Given 83% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan (235/55 R18 V) on mostly country roads for 50,000 average miles
My 66 plate Tiguan came with these tires. The front tires were swapped out at 27,000 miles (with Avon ZX7's). I put the Contisports on the back axle and they are still there at c.3mm and just over 50,000 miles! I am now looking at whether to replace the front ZX7's (which will have done c.23,000 miles) with Contisports again, though I think the extra mileage from them doesn't justify the extra £30 a tire.

Given 83% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170hp (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 28 average miles
Great tire - handles really well. Very little road noise. Good comfortable ride. Very good breaking - have had to pull up sharply a couple of times and the tire has really responded. For an expensive tire though, I am a little disappointed with the total kilometers (just 45,000km). I have regularly rotated the tires, kept them balanced and front end aligned. I don't think they have had any tough driving conditions, and so the only reason I probably won't buy them again, is I'd like a tire with better mileage.

Given 57% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan (235/55 R18 V) on a combination of roads for 116,000 easy going miles
We bought a brand new VW Tiguan (pre-registered late 2017) which came fitted with these Continental ContiSport v tires. Within less than 3 years of very conservative and careful driving (my wife and I are both retired NHS staff), we noticed significant wear on the front two tires. The car had clocked up just 11,600 miles from new. Our local garage confirmed significant wear, one of the tires verging on being dangerous. We had both tires replaced immediately. On contacting Continental to comment, they wanted me to return to the garage, fill-in a form and have the Garage do so too. They then wanted me to ask the garage to keep the tires for their collection. There offer was to report back once they'd had chance to actually see the two failed tires themselves. Continental clearly wouldn't take my word, our Garage's word or want to contact our VW Dealership. We'd always previously considered Continental to be a decent brand - but never, never again.

Amazing tires. put them on my Lexus RX and well out do the original bridgestones the car came with when I bought it brand new. Can hardly hear any road noise unless driving on rough or unsealed concrete road and even then very quiet. Very comfortable.

Given 93% while driving a Hyundai Santa Fe (235/55 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 6,000 spirited miles
Fitted the tires to our Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander when the original Hankook tires needed replacing. This will be the third time I have fitted Continentals when available and they don't disappoint. Steering, braking, feel and comfort are all superior to the others I have owned, and I couldn't see myself buying any other brand regardless of price.
