Continental VancoContact 2 175/70 R14 95/93 T C

On dry I have no objections. they run great. They are very predictable, there is no snagging or floating when driving on very hot days on hot asphalt. They are quiet. In the wet: ... driving about 130 km / h in the rain on the motorway I did not notice any disturbing symptoms ... The car does not float... It calmly responds to every movement of the steering wheel and precisely moves on the chosen track (this is well demonstrated about draining water) but ... there was a situation of emergency braking when driving to the lights during rain (car without ABS) and the wheels blocked immediately and after that the car slid forward as if on ice ... There was no feeling resistance that the vehicle brakes or whatever ... However, it may also be partly the fault of the road surface: ruts filled with water and asphalt with a surface as smooth as a glass ... But ... You have to be careful. In all other conditions the tyre behaves exemplarily ... For comparison, I do not recommend Barum Vanis ... You can't even move on a wet because it immediately breaks adhesion ... and we can forget about emergency braking. Therefore, this Continenntal in comparison with Barum is quite sensational ...

All tyres and wheels were stolen from me. I had to decide on the next one. I was tempted by the appearance and the speed index H-210km / h (with reduced load, of course). I'm a finished idiot. These tyres should not be approved at all after wet tests. Entering a wet corner ends with nervous returning the car to the track. Previously I have GoodYear tyres there. They were overrun and led like on TGV tracks. Where does this company have dignity and respect for customers?

After driving 37,500 km on the front drive axle, the tyres have 2 mm tread ... In fact, I will get there somewhere until mid-October, probably when the time for winter tyres come and Continental will go to scrap. I can tell them a maximum of 5,000 km, no more. The tyre from the legendary brand (premium class) unfortunately only qualified for the budget class ...

I have always bought tyres of this brand and never had a reason to complain. The car I currently have is not a speed demon but at 105HP and 250Nm / 2300rpm they perform very well.

The tyres are really decent I cannot say a bad word about handling and behavior. Unfortunately, the abrasion is very high - it lasted only one season on the front axle.
