Continental ContiTrac Tire Review

Continental Tire has developed the Continental ContiTrac as a versatile choice for all-season traction and performance. Featured as original equipment on some models of light trucks and SUV's, it is also sold as a replacement tire for all types of vehicles.

The ContiTrac tire sports an asymmetrical tread pattern which provides better handling on varied road surfaces, even at low temperatures. The strong shoulder of the tire and the ruggedness make it well suited for better overall braking and stability.

Four large circumferential grooves ensure a minimal risk of hydroplaning in wet weather due to its function of removing water from beneath the tire. It one of the stronger pluses with the ContiTrac. This all-season radial also handles well in light snow and even some light off road use. That said, it's a different story when it comes to heavy snow or ice. This is not a winter tire by any stretch.

Continental has used its tire technology to ensure that the ContiTrac has a lower rolling resistance, which aids in fuel economy and makes it a more quiet tire. Owners of this tire have appreciated the fact that even at high speeds it has good stability. With its increased durability, the ContiTrac provides a longer tread life, giving you more value for the money.

It's worth noting that Continental gives an option for you to purchase the ContiTrac with a choice of either a black sidewall or raised white black lettering, depending on the size of the tire.

Overall, the Continental ContiTrac Tire offers a good mix of all-season performance and a good tread life, despite the lack of a mileage warranty. It provides a good ride and can be taken off road as well.
