Land Rover Range Rover Sport (275/45 R21 W) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
i have now fitted these tires to my 2015 Range Rover Sport, they have transformed the car, the handling is much improved and the car is quieter with much road noise

Horrible tires, no traction whatsoever in the rain and forget snow and ice. I wouldn't put these tires on the wagon I pull behind my mower!

Not impressed, slip in the corners under speed limit conditions around town, hold ok on the open road but a little nervous now i know they do not hold terribly well at low speeds, especially in the wet. actively looking for a replacement tire as we speak....

Latest Continental Cross Contact LX Sport Reviews

Given 43% while driving a Volvo XC60 (255/45 R20) on mostly town for 18,000 average miles
These tires came stock on my 2023 Volvo XC60 Recharge -- and, at 18000 miles, I'm now shopping for new tires because the Continentals are close to EOL. I'm a pretty boring driver (I drive a Volvo), and the mileage on the car is probably 40% highway and 60% "around town." The tires are supposed to be warranted for 65,000 miles, and they've lasted less than 1/3 of that. I've never had tires that fell short of their rated mileage -- yet these have fallen FAR short. I did not purchase these tires (they came stock), but I will never purchase Continentals after this experience.

Given 23% while driving a Volvo XC70 T6 (235/50 R18) on mostly motorways for 28 easy going miles
Tires came equipped on the car. Original owner was a 70+ year old doctor who drove conservatively. My wife used the car the most as their nanny and drove it home to work. She is an Asian woman who got her license in her late 30s so as you can imagine, an easy going obey traffic laws kind of a driver. The car was given to us and I put maybe 2k miles on it myself, I'm impatient and pass on the right kind of a driver but don't push the car and not a "spirited" driver. Tires cause mild vibration at maybe 55 mph and over. Car history, 28,500 Miles (obvious American) in need of 3rd tire replacement. Horrible reviews on Continentals own U.S. website. Gotta figure any tire that does not have a mileage warranty is probably going to be crap. Highway and city miles Between New Jersey to/from New York City, and Connecticut to/from New York City. Car is a 2015.5 Volvo crossover vehicle. Currently researching 4 tire replacement. Not wasting another dime on these.
Only crossover I've ever driven and no other experience with tires on the car so hard to gauge much of the scores. They don't have a score specifically for hydroplaning. Figured an AWD crossover would handle hydroplaning better. Seemed to take longer to recover than I would have expected.

Given 41% while driving a GMC Acadia (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 29,500 average miles
The only reason I have these tires are because they came on the vehicle that I purchased from the dealer. Normal city driving and regular rotation here I am getting ready to replace them at 29,500 miles. DO NOT purchase these tires if you plan on them lasting. My vehicle was garaged so was not exposed to constant sunlight but still wore down way too quick.

These were fitted to the car from new and the fronts are completely worn after 15k miles. the rears are not that far behind, we will not be replacing with the same make / type of tire.

Given 90% while driving a Kia Motors Sportage (235/55 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
I’ve had these in the car for a few days now and have to say I love them. They are quiet and comfortable, and they provide good handling and good feedback. There is no sign of tram lining and they give good steering response. I will review them again after a few thousand miles, but so far all is good and I am very pleased.
