Continental ProContact RX

The Bottom Line

The ProContact RX is best for drivers who value sporty handling and dry grip in a touring tire, with a 40,000-mile warranty to back it up. However, its lower treadwear rating compared to the category average may lead to more frequent replacements, impacting long-term value.

Important Note

The low UTQG treadwear rating of 400 suggests a shorter lifespan, which might not justify the cost for some buyers.
