Customer Reviews
Discount failed me with these tires. I bought four of these tires separate years. First set had no issue and I was impressed with them made me want to buy another set. This second pair discount tire employees mounted one of them incorrectly , and second one had a flat spot. Took them into a local tire shop assuming the employees didn’t balance them correctly and then I was informed of the flat spot on one and the other being mounted the wrong way as-well as not balanced correctly Other wise this tire is amazing but unfortunately, employees didn’t do they’re check their work
They really aren't bad tires. I normally go for Michelin
The warranty is excellent and definitely played a major role in my decision to buy my second set of these tires. This tire had better wet traction than the Dunlops that came factory on my car. Only complaint was they don't last as long as they are rated for. That's where the warranty came into play. Continental stepped up and gave me a rebate for the unused mileage I didn't get out of the tires. This helped by lowering the cost of the new tires. Never had another tire company do this before, so purchased another set of the same tires. Thank you to the sales rep @ Discount Tires who helped me by filing the warranty claims on all 4 tires and applying the rebate to the new purchase price. Will definitely be back when I need the next set of tires.
Fairly quiet at first but getting louder now that I've driven 20,000 miles on them.
