They're not new anymore but they are definitely still performing well, I am very happy with them. - The tyres are performing very well especially on the wet and slippery roads in Scotland. My car's acceleration feels so much better now as well. I will replace the rear ones soon with the same model I purchased now.

Really good, no change in performance and wearing well. - Really well; good in all conditions and quiet - grippy and much quieter than the factory fit tyres, also feel more compliant in steering.

The tyres match the ones I have used on the car for at least 10 years. They have been fitted by a top class fitter and therefore give me great confidence in their long term performance.

These replaced a pair of Linglong tyres that our car came with. Online experts are very critical of the Linglongs, so I was hoping for a serious difference having had good experiences with Continental tyres. These are slightly better, mainly in terms of wet grip, but a bit noisier.

These Continental Tyres give a sure footed feel to my car, with excellent cornering and wet weather grip. I have tried many other 'named' brands but none have offered the security that I experience with these tyres.
