Thread: Continental Conti4x4Contact 255/55/18

I checked the link you supplied,,,,,,I like the look of te conticross contact a/t. They look a bit like the pirelli atr.

Sorry dont know anything about the ones you have chosen

I've had mine for a couple of years now and well happy with them. Originally put them on the RRC but took them off and put them on the D2 as the rangie is not my daily at the moment.
I've done probably close to 40k on them now and they still have a good 10mm tread on them.

Do a search on them and you will find other posts about them.

Cheers

Sent from my mobile tellingbone using rock carvings.

thanks for the quick reply guys.

I have gone for these on Hwy only need and price. I can get these for $275 fitted.

pretty good price I recon.

cheers

Have heard nothing but good reports on them. Have also heard they wear quicker than the Pirelli and they are better than the Pirelli in the wet (when comparing the conti there is NOTHING else to compare them to - certainly not goodyear etc).

Having said all that I went with the Pirelli Scorpion Zero which are amazingly quiet and I use on the freeway most of the time.

But you will not go wrong with the Contis. But for freeway driving I would go these

I can recommend these. I got a set 9 months ago and have done ~5000km on them with no complaints. I only get off road 4-5 times a year, and even then it's all sand.

Mind you they cost me quite a bit more than $275 a corner - more like $450 a corner. Ouch!

I liked them as well but they are $480 not $275.

If I get 40,000 out of them I will be happy.

Hi DanW

What is your load and speed rating?

The ones i am looking at are 109H.

Mine might end up on the sand as well, how do they handle it?

Hope you are staying dry mate.

Hi Matt, mine are 112V (255/60 R18). Probably a bit of overkill, but i had read somewhere that a higher load and speed rating helps when driving at low pressure and speed (such as on hard sand).

They handle well in the sand - I didn't notice any difference, better or worse, between those and the OEM Wranglers. I was happy with the Wranglers apart from the wear rate so switched to the Conti's to see how they'd go - and so far they seem better, and definitely started their life with a deeper tread groove than the wranglers.

I couldn't notice any change in road noise.

Given they were the same price (well the Wranglers were costing me $425) i didn't have much to lose.

Thankfully I have managed to stay dry!
