Continental Tires Reviews

Shanice, was great assisting me with help with my warranty after purchasing my new vehicle. Kind; polite please promote Shanice. She deserves it! : )

The car has never experienced any road collisions or hazards of any kind. On February 1, 2026 the tires had approx. 8,000 miles on them, the passenger front tire exploded, with a loud bang, while sitting at a stop light. Replacement tire cost me $524.96. It ripped apart from where the tread meets the sidewall about half way around the tire. My dealership sent the tire to Continental and filed a claim. Around May 1st. Continental denied the claim without any explanation. I am attempting to contact them myself but am not holding my breath. I have seen other reviews and pictures complaining about the exact same issue. Don't know why a class action suit has not begun yet. The consumer is left to deal with a huge company that couldn't care less.

I purchased new Continental tires from my BMW dealer in December. In just 3500 miles of interstate driving both front tires have developed bulges. I took the car/tires back to the dealer for replacement and am being told by Continental that it will take up to six weeks for them to process a warranty claim. These are a premium product but the level of customer support is abysmal. Bottom line, skip the Continental tires.

Hello, My name is Essie **. I am writing because I purchased Continental ProContact GX SSR Run Flat tires for $ 1,992.00 on December 6, 2025. On April 21, 2026, I got a FLAT TIRE. This is not the first time I have had Run Flat tires. When I purchased my vehicle, they had Run Flat tires on them. I had nails, screws, and everything else in those tires and not once did they go FLAT. I came outside on the morning of April 21, 2026 and my tire was flat!!! Just like any ordinary tire!!! I called Mavis Tires in Brookhaven, PA, where I had the tires installed and they said, "We don't make the tires." So here I am writing you!!! I am Pissed and Disappointed because these tires are FAKE or SUBPAR!! This is my first and last purchase of Continental Tires!!!! Never Again!!!!

Don't buy Continental tires. They don't stand by their warranties. Less than 1 year old. Done with alignment 50k warranty at 25k miles driven.

Their customer service is horribly awful. Almost had a blowout on a road trip (was lucky to have found it--tires are only 8 months old). Had to replace with non-Continental tires due to being in the middle of nowhere and lack of options. They told me the warranty could not be honored since I replaced it with non-Continental tires and I would receive no monetary refund.

We have had 2 bad/faulty tires from this company within the past year. Both tires split at the inner seam of the tire. I called the company, and they were absolutely no help. They said that they are not responsible, and the warranty was not valid if I replaced it with a different brand??? Why would I put another defective tire on my vehicle?? This company is horrible in all ways it can be!!

I just bought 2 Continental garbage tires. After driving less than one mile they were so noisy. I went back to the dealer who sold me the tires and returned them. They were so noisy I couldn't listen to the radio without the sound being up full blast. I got a refund but they charged me for the labor. Pissed me off. They are junk.

Blowout on the beltway... no thanks. I learned too late that this is a pervasive issue - although I have to say that I am confident in absolutely no manufacturer of anything anymore. There is no QC, no accountability and no human to address any issues to - not that anyone would care once they have your money.

I have a Genesis G80 which came equipped with Continental Pro Contact tires. I've had nothing but trouble with them. In the past 4 years, I'd had two blowouts in 2024 and 2025. In January of this year, the left front tire developed a bulge in the tire one month after the tire hazard warranty expired. I wrote a letter, but the company never responded. These tires were expensive almost $800 a tire. Save your money and buy two sets of offshore tires for less.

Horrible tires. I’ve only had my car a year and a half and have now had 2 tires go completely flat for no reason. No nail, or puncture at all. Just went completely flat. Having now buy 2 new tires again. I will never get this brand of tire. They came with the car when I bought it. So annoying.

I have a 2023 Audi A4 S line. I drive on paved roads and highways only. I am now replacing my 3rd Continental tire for "sudden" sidewall flats! I have never had a flat tire previous in 45 years of driving. I drive an average of 18 miles per day. Needless to say, I am DONE with these Continental ss tires. Not only are they unpredictable, but dangerous given the sudden flats.

Tires, not even at 60000 km (37282 Miles) and already about to need to be replaced. Poor build quality, poor longevity, doesn't work great in winter, manages, but I'd say closer to a dollar store brand of tire, which is probably why GM put it on their new vehicles, no care for quality.

I purchased 4 Continental conti pro contact all season 235/40R19 96V passenger tire/4307985 from continental. The tires promised 80 thousand tread life. I only get 30 thousand miles on the tires and continental refused to honor the warranty. I own 6 cars and all my cars I put continental tires on them not no more. Buyers beware of continental fake tires and advertising advertisement. Buy Good Year tires. They honor their warranty.

In August 2023, I purchased four Continental tires that were advertised with a $110 mail-in rebate. The rebate was a deciding factor in my purchase. I submitted the required rebate form and proof of purchase by mail within the promotional period. Approximately six weeks later, when I had not received the rebate, I followed up with Continental. I followed up again the following year when reinstalling the tires and again this year. Despite providing proof of purchase and promotional materials, Continental has refused to issue the rebate, stating that they have no record of my submission and that the promotion period has closed.

I purchased a 2024 Chevrolet Malibu 2LT with 18000 miles. The car came with Continental Tires and since April 2025 when I bought the car, I had all 4 tires replaced twice under a Tire & Wheel warranty. Thank goodness I bought this warranty or it would have costed me thousands!! Each tire was $290 plus installed. Also the rims/wheels were all replaced as well $600 each because when the tires failed it caused the rims to crack. I have never seen a tire rip and tear on the sidewalls and just last week after hitting a big pothole, both front tires developed a bulge on the sidewalls.

Tires are great but their Customer service is trash, don’t hold their end to get you rebate offers. Trash company. Did everything they asked and they still deny the claim. Multiple trash customer service workers working my claim and not a single one of them was from US.

Took our car in for oil change and told we need new tires. The problem is we put new tires on almost exactly 3 years ago and 25,000 miles. Very unhappy these tires have worn so poorly. Checked with customer service on warranty and you have to buy a new set, then send in the tires for them to determine if they will cover under warranty. I think tires wearing out this quickly means you have poor quality and the tires should be covered. Will never buy this brand again.

2024 Ford Bronco Sport came with Continental Pro Contact TX tires. They were down from 9/32” to 2/32” tread depth in 19,000 miles. Junk. Because they came equipped on the new vehicle, Continental says there is no treadwear warranty. There will be no Continental products in this house ever again.

The Continental Cross Contact 275/45 R21 was the OEM tire on my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. Tread completely gone in 25,000 miles. Tires are noisy compared to the Michelins on my Suburban. The Michelins have 47,000 miles and still plenty of tread left.

Don't but this tire!!!! Blow up while I'm driving on highway... Very bad customer service!!!!💩 Don't waste your money on that tire!!!! 💩💩💩✈️ After I buy the tire I don't feel good about it because it make a sound while I'm driving and went back 2 times to check it, they told me tire is good. Week later tire blow up and broke my rim, factory say the tire was low pressure, which this is wrong because a week before it happened. I was at the dealership and they check the tire and they say the tire is good.

Bought a brand new 2023 Chevy Suburban (Premier) with factory Continental tires 275/60/R20. Regular dealer tire rotations and I just hit 29K. Tires are completely worn down and bald. Tread life warranty was rated for 70k. No explanation as I do not tow anything and live in a reasonably easy climate (socal). Yet here I am fighting with Continental Tire customer service for prorated replacement tires or some kind of action on their part. The Chevy dealership took measurements and submitted all the material as requested with photos. Continental didn't even bother to offer a discount to try them again. Bought a lot of tires in my lifetime and have never seen a company in denial like this. Stay clear of them - they do not stand by their products whatsoever. Stay clear and go with a tire brand that is trusted and stands by their warranty.

I own a 2024 Kia Niro Ex Touring with 15,000 miles and OEM Continental procontact tires. Over the 4th of July holiday 2025. I was headed home traveling approx 40.mph. I heard a loud pop. Looked to my left and saw the top section of my left front tire flying off of my car. Immediately I pulled to the shoulder and it took at least 100 yards to slow the car down. I showed these pictures to numerous tire shops and they all said they never seen a tire do this. I'm in the automotive industry since 1981. This is a defective tire 100%. I hold kia and continental tires responsible.

I have a 2021 Chevrolet blazer. The tires are Continental cross contact LX. This vehicle has been dealership maintain. Tires rotated. The predicted tire life on this tire is 48,000 miles. This vehicle has 17,000 miles on it the last trip to dealership. I need to replace my tires. They’re between 2 /32 to 3/32 wear on all tires. Replacement cost for tires would be $1200. These tires are very poor quality. I can’t believe a customer would have to replace tires practically every year on this vehicle. It’s not a sport vehicle. It’s not a Corvette. It’s not a Camaro. It’s a daily Driver. It’s garage kept. These tires are crap. I will never buy another continental tire. Also my background I was a GM master technician for 30 years.

Continental Tires offered a $120 rebate on a set of four tires. However, the required receipts for the rebate were not provided by Discount Tire when the tires were installed and my on-line purchase receipt wasn't adequate for the rebate. Continental Tires company makes the rebate process intolerable and very time consuming. Probably won't get tires offered by them with rebates in the future if at all.

Purchased 4 brand new, higher end, Continental Tires from Mavis on 5/31. Rebate offering of $110 on purchase of 4 tires didn't start until 6/1 (as in, the next day), which happened to fall on a Sunday, when most mechanics/shops would be closed. Nevertheless, I submitted my receipt and filled out all the appropriate paperwork online, and it got rejected/declined.

Poor customer support. Have ContiProContact M+S and chunks are coming off the tires. Too bad, so sad say Conti. NO MORE CONTI TIRES. I will no longer buy any NEW CAR with Contis also. They can change them out to sell me the car.

Tires are noisy & it doesn't "feel" right driving on them. I think I should replace these tires which only have 24,204 miles & 2 1/2 years on them, especially after reading of all the blowouts in reviews on this site.

I bought 4 Continental tires/General tires 4 years ago. The tires were supposed to last 70,000 miles. 2 of the tires failed after about 35,000 miles. Small chunks of rubber were coming off these 2 tires and one went flat because the chunk came off. I contacted Continental Tires because there was a recall due to improper manufacturing on some of their tires. I was advised to go to a retailer that carried their brand and ask their opinion of the the defective tires. In good faith I asked the retailer to install 2 Continental/General tires that most closely matched the 2 defective tires. I asked the tire store to examine the 2 defective tires when install the new tires. They were not sure what the cause of the chunks of rubber coming off was.

I've had 2 sidewall blowouts within 8 months and car seldom leaves the yard. Both times was stranded because no spare came with car and haven't found one that will fit yet. I hit pot holes both times but pot holes I have hit with other cheaper tires a million times with no problems.

Always bought these tires for my trucks. Last purchase I bought 2 tires and my SUV has been shaking a lot. Had balance done 2 times no luck. Called Continental they told me buy 2 more tires then send back bad tires and if they find a problem they will reimburse me which could take months. No thanks. Will never buy again.

I made an appointment November 21, 2024 to have new Continental tires and misc repairs done on my Subaru Outback. The dealer wasn't able to get the car in till December 11, 2024. Upon completion I went to submit the $110 Continental Tire Rebate for the purchase of four tires. The rebate site said"expired", program ended November 30, 2024. I contacted Continental Tire customer service and provided proof that the repair was scheduled on November 21, 2024. The request was denied, even though the tire replacement was scheduled during the rebate period.

I have bought new tesla model y 2024 model and it came with Continental Tires. But unfortunately within 8 months and 37000km the tires got finished when I called customer service a lady named megan said that tesla cars are heavy and the tires should be changed every year lol what a joke you guys are thiefs, 0 customers service and 0 quality tires.

Very disappointed in Continental. Placed an order on Tire Rack for 4 Viking Contact 7 tires mounted and balanced on 4 new rims. When trying to submit the rebate, found an installation receipt was required. While telling Continental customer service I put the mounted tires on my vehicle myself, (being already mounted on rims) I was told I didn't qualify for the rebate. I offered to sign a separate document, provide pictures with the tires on my vehicle, all fell on deaf ears. I went through the same scenario 4 years ago for my previous vehicle and had no issues with the rebate. Luckily my tires/rims hadn't shipped yet and I was able to cancel the order. Terrible customer service from Continental for a returning customer, never again will I go through this aggravation.

This was the first set of Continental tires and it was very disappointing. Had them installed on a 2021 Honda pilot touring model. Tires appeared to be wearing and performing well however one day when the car was parked and not running one of the tires blew doing 4000.00 worth of damage to the car. Of course I contacted continental however they assumed no responsibility. Tires had 8000 miles on them. I trashed the other three tires and went back to Michelin. I am an old man and never in my life has a tire blown while sitting in the driveway. Do yourself a favor and stay away from continental tires!!!

I would NOT buy Continental Tire ever again. These tires are defective. All my tires have slice on them which continental claims it's curb damage because the factory aluminum rims show some scratches. I park my car inside my house. I don't park near curbs. I tried their claim process at discount tire which is trash.

Purchased brand new 2022 Jeep compass. With 29000km Continental tires are completely bald.. Never seen this before. Absolutely terrible tires!!! No coverage or warranty as they say wear and tear. Lmao. 29000 km. Really??

Continental Tires were on my used Volvo (less than 40K miles with 2 brand new tires on the back) when I purchased it less than 6 months ago. Two nights ago my son was driving my car on the highway when the right rear tire, one of the new tires, blew. See image attached. There were no obstructions on the road. The tow truck tech said this looked like a manufacturer defect. We are lucky no one was hurt! I've never seen anything like this before!!

Have a 2024 Ford Maverick that was equipped with Continental Pro Contact 225/65/17 OEM tires. After 13k miles noticed how tires were wearing. Had 3-4 32nds left. Called continental and filed claim. They instructed where I had to go and get inspected. Did so and they offered a prorated discount on same tire. It was sad and a waste of my time. They were nice on phone when called. Will not consider their products after this.

I've had these tires for roughly 5,000 miles (~3 months). One thing I can say that as good as these tires are on dry surfaces, they are equally as BAD on wet surfaces. They lose traction on the slightest of wet roads and will hydroplane across puddles...even at LOW speeds. Borderline dangerous to drive in wet weather, I'm taking them back to exchange them for a different brand.
