Continental AllSeasonContact 235/60 R17 102 H

I drove on these tyres for two seasons. I have a car with an automatic gearbox (in the case of unstable road surfaces [slippery], I think this is very important, because with a manual gearbox you have greater and more precise control over the movement of the wheels, such as the moment of engagement and disengagement). I live in the Silesian agglomeration and drive 85% of the time in the city, 10% outside the city (expressways), and 5% in the mountains (Beskidy, Podhale). I have a calm driving style. I will comment on the quality of driving in winter, because I have no complaints about summer. The first winter was fantastic – I was very pleasantly surprised. The tyres did not perform like normal winter tyres, but they were good enough that I did not feel any discomfort when driving calmly in or outside the city. However, I was shocked a year later when, after about 10 cm of wet snowfall, I couldn't leave the car park at Lidl. The fresh, wet snow was compacted by car wheels, but nothing had been sprinkled on it. If it hadn't been for the help of other drivers who helped me push out of the parking space... I would probably have waited until spring. The car park was uneven. It is possible that the wheels got stuck in the compacted, slippery snow in a depression, but other car park users had the same conditions, and only I had a problem leaving. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated case – a similar situation occurred practically after every fresh snowfall – problems with leaving the block of flats, problems with starting on a slight hill. In the case of slightly frozen snow, it is a little better. I was very disappointed with the tyres, which are not even mid-range. I do not know where the high test ratings for all-season tyres came from, which I used as a guide when choosing tyres. Due to the risk and stress associated with every start in fresh snow conditions, I have decided to switch back to winter tyres. I have no intention of carrying a bucket of ash in my boot with the prospect of having to sprinkle it under the wheels soon... I do not believe that other top-rated tyres from the leading all-season tyre tests would perform so differently from the Continentals that I would be tempted to buy all-season tyres again. What we went through last winter was constant stress and enormous irritation. Read more Collapse

I bought the tyres sometime around the turn of 2021/2022. A complete set, of course. The worst tyres I've ever had. I absolutely do not recommend them, in fact, I advise against them. After two years, the front tyres cracked at the junction of the sidewall and the tread. Plus, they generally looked like typical potatoes (lots of microcracks). So I replaced them this summer. The rear ones somehow held up. About two months ago, I noticed that at around 130-140 km/h, the two remaining ones I had left (rear) started to make a loud noise. It turned out that the tread had come away from the tyre core on the inside. I always recommended CONTI or Michałki to everyone. But I've always dealt with these manufacturers as typical winter tyres. As for multi-season tyres from this manufacturer, avoid them if you value your life. I don't want to think about what could have happened if I hadn't regularly inspected my car on the ramp every few months. Read more Collapse

I had hesitated for a long time to buy them, mainly because of concerns about how they would perform in snow and slush. And I eventually did it; the winter, as short as it was, proved unchallenging to the tyres. And... I am delighted with how well they perform in such difficult conditions. Maybe if I went to the mountains the experience would be a little different, but driving mainly in the lowlands it is excellent. On dry road, I also don't see much difference between the summer ones I've been using so far (also from Continental). And the fact that I no longer have to make an appointment every few months for a swap is a big bonus (no time and money wasted). All in all, given the fact that you save on a second set of tyres and the fact that you have to swap the tyres twice a year, you can generally say that, because of the savings involved, you get �free tyres� every couple of years.

Hello, I have been driving on these tyres since April. Unfortunately, I cannot yet assess how they perform in snow, but at temperatures of 0 degrees and with frost on the road, I have never felt a loss of control or slippage. These are my third set of all-season tyres, and the second important thing is the noise level of the tyres. Fortunately, these are very quiet. In another car, I have tyres from a different company, and although they are also a premium brand (GY), I would not recommend them to anyone because they are very noisy when driving. The tyre has a nice tread, and the only problem is that small stones sometimes take a while to come out. I will be able to give a reliable opinion after the winter, but I hope they will not disappoint me. Read more Collapse

Having learned from experience, I know that there are some things you don't save on. Tyres, for example. On my previous tyres in the snow, I was able to drive a few more metres after applying the brake. And every driver knows that a few metres of difference in braking is like stopping in front of the lanes and stopping behind the lanes. The latter is unacceptable. That's why I chose what I thought was the best I could, and it turned out that it actually was. The tyres are excellent on the road and are also quiet. Highly recommended. Read more Collapse
