Continental Control Contact Tour A/S Plus

The Control Contact Tour A/S Plus is best suited for drivers prioritizing longevity and dry road performance. With an 80,000-mile treadwear warranty, it significantly exceeds the category average, making it an attractive option for high-mileage drivers. Its dry grip score of 8.5 also surpasses the category benchmark, ensuring reliable performance in dry conditions.

However, the tire's wet grip score of 5.5 is a notable shortcoming, trailing the category average of 6.9. This makes it less ideal for those who frequently drive in wet conditions. While it matches the category averages for comfort and noise, providing a smooth and quiet ride, the lack of a 3PMSF rating limits its capability in severe winter weather.

When compared to its competitors, the Continental ProContact TX offers better wet grip, which might appeal to those prioritizing wet performance. The BFGoodrich Advantage Control and Continental ContiProContact are also worth considering for their balanced performance. Overall, if wet grip is a critical factor, you might want to explore other options.
