Our take

The ContiProContact SSR is best suited for drivers who value comfort and noise reduction in their daily driving experience. Its comfort and noise scores of 8 match the category benchmarks, ensuring a pleasant ride. However, the tire's 40,000-mile treadwear warranty and UTQG rating of 400 are well below the category averages, indicating a shorter lifespan and potentially higher cost of ownership. In terms of performance, the ContiProContact SSR offers a wet grip score of 7.5, slightly above the category average, which is reassuring for wet conditions. Handling is solid with a score of 7.5, aligning well with segment expectations for stability and predictability. When compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45 and BFGoodrich Advantage Control, the ContiProContact SSR falls short in treadwear longevity. The BFGoodrich Advantage Control, in particular, offers a more attractive treadwear warranty, making it a better choice for budget-conscious drivers who cover high mileage. Overall, if long tread life is a priority, consider alternatives like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control. However, if comfort and noise are your main concerns, the ContiProContact SSR remains a solid choice within its category.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores of 8 align with the category benchmarks, providing a smooth and quiet ride typical of grand touring all-season tires.
  • Wet grip score of 7.5 slightly exceeds the category average of 7.4, offering reliable performance in rainy conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 keeps pace with the category, ensuring predictable and stable driving dynamics.

Cons

  • The 40,000-mile treadwear warranty is a major drawback, as it falls short of the category average, leading to higher long-term costs.
  • Treadwear warranty of 40,000 miles is significantly below the category average of 62,053 miles, suggesting more frequent replacements.
  • UTQG treadwear rating of 400 is significantly below the category average of 574, indicating a shorter lifespan compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45.
  • The BFGoodrich Advantage Control offers a higher treadwear warranty, making it a more cost-effective option for long-term use.
