Customer Reviews
3rd set. Wonderfuk
At Highway speed, I feel like I have to correct steering like they want to drift. Its subtly but enough that i notice otherwise great so far for the price.
I love Continental Tires, but I would return this set if I could. Right after installation, I had an alignment done, and they will not drive straight. I've had the alignment rechecked and the tires rebalanced several times, and my car still shakes and pulls decently hard into oncoming traffic. They also feel so spongy in the corners and constantly feel like they're going to break loose. These have taken the fun out of driving for me, and I regret buying them every day. I really wanted to love them but just don't. I can't speak to longevity as I have only had them a few months.
Tires are quieter than originally thought when tires were priced!!
