Our take

The Continental ProContact GX SSR is a solid choice for drivers who value comfort and noise reduction in a grand touring all-season tire. Its comfort and noise scores both match the category averages, making it a reliable option for those seeking a smooth and quiet ride. The wet grip rating of 7.5 slightly surpasses the category average, providing dependable traction in wet conditions. However, the tire's treadwear warranty of 55,000 miles is below the segment average of 62,053 miles, suggesting a shorter lifespan than some competitors. Its UTQG treadwear rating of 500 is also lower than the category average of 574, which could lead to more frequent replacements. Additionally, the R speed rating may not satisfy drivers who require higher speed capabilities, especially when compared to rivals like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+. For those who prioritize longevity and higher speed performance, the General AltiMAX RT45 or the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ might be better alternatives. The ProContact GX SSR is best suited for comfort-focused drivers who don't rack up high annual mileage.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores of 8 align with the category average, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride.
  • Wet grip rating of 7.5 slightly exceeds the grand touring all-season category average of 7.4, offering reliable performance in rainy conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 is competitive within the segment, providing balanced on-road dynamics.

Cons

  • The 55,000-mile treadwear warranty is below the segment average, which may not suit high-mileage drivers looking for longer-lasting options.
  • Treadwear warranty of 55,000 miles falls short of the category average of 62,053 miles, potentially leading to more frequent replacements.
  • UTQG treadwear rating of 500 is below the category average of 574, indicating a shorter lifespan compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45.
  • The speed rating of R is lower than some competitors, which might limit performance at higher speeds compared to options like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+.
