Our take

The Continental 4x4 Contact SSR is best suited for drivers who value comfort and noise suppression in a touring all-season tire. It meets the category benchmarks for comfort and noise, ensuring a pleasant driving experience. Its wet grip rating of 7.5 also stands out, providing confidence in rainy conditions. However, the tire's treadlife is a significant drawback. With a UTQG treadwear rating of 360 and no mileage warranty, it falls short of the category's average treadwear standards. This could lead to more frequent replacements, increasing the overall cost of ownership. The R speed rating also limits its performance compared to competitors like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control, which offers a longer treadwear warranty and higher speed ratings. For those who prioritize long-lasting tires, the 4x4 Contact SSR may not be the most economical choice. Instead, consider options like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control for better longevity and potentially lower cost per mile. This tire is ideal for drivers who prioritize comfort and noise over treadlife and speed performance.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores of 8 match the category benchmarks, providing a smooth and quiet ride typical of touring all-season tires.
  • Wet grip rating of 7.5 exceeds the category average of 6.9, offering reliable performance in rainy conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 aligns well with the category's focus on balanced driving dynamics.

Cons

  • Significantly lower treadwear rating and no warranty make it a poor choice for drivers seeking long-lasting tires.
  • Treadlife is notably short with no mileage warranty and a UTQG of 360, slightly below the category average treadwear of 596.
  • The BFGoodrich Advantage Control offers a longer treadwear warranty, making it a more cost-effective option for long-term use.
  • Speed rating of R limits high-speed performance compared to competitors with higher ratings.
