ALLSEASONCONTACT

<p>I moved from a summer Pirelli P7, which were noisy, and just OK in the dry and poor in the wet. Moving to these Conti All Season was a revelation; fantastic grip in the wet, the dry and on snow and ice. And so quiet! And they are wearing so well, having covered nearly 20k and still have 5.5mm remaining. Yes I will replace them with the latest version when needed.</p>

Buy them as winter tyres for GLK 4matic, driving to mountains with a lot of snow, when turn off stability control, car behave so well, so predictable, so fast on snow road, cutting and curving very nicely. can compare only with old cheap tyres which were on when i bought the car, and it's a big difference! last time i have this good handling in snow was in Iceland with stud tyres. for real, allseason tyres so good at snow. summer handling is of course compromise, but other then than, no minus. even in rainy and pushing it, you can feel and moderate the little sliding on the edge of the grip. very nice and fast. big plus for me is, i can drive it in highways in hot springs and still go to mountains where is still snow. would buy as winter tyre again!

Faultless, i got these tyres virtually new when i bought some wheels on ebay. I never would of gone for allseason tyres but will definitely get these again. Paired with the Quattro system i feel really confident on the roads, not been to track.

Have no comparison on this vehicle with other tires yet.
Was driving on snow this year multiple times and felt safe all the time.
Never felt disadvantages on dry and wet roads.
It is a bit wobbly, since it‘s not a performance tire.
Downside is a whine at about 70 to 80 km/h, which appeared from the first day. Also I have the feeling that it should be more silent in general.
The noise is the reason I would not buy it again.
Furthermore small pieces of the profile are getting lose. Maybe this is due to driving it fast in summer on the Autobahn with unlimited speed (top speed of vehicle is 250 km/h).

I bought these tires in 2019 secondhand with 6,5 mm of wear. They were a year old at the point I got them. Meaning dot 2018. I have to replace them now as they are running for around 6-7 years.
I live in Eastern Europe = Very hot summers (30-38'C), a fair bit of rainy days and a couple of weeks of snow on the streets that aren't really cleaned. I'm a spirited driver but not making large mileages. Having said that, my noteable moments as a review
Bad moments first
- At six year mark I went to a seaside country of Montenegro for a week. The temps there, are, I'd say, around 38-40'C constantly. The tires were like jelly. Braking was very inconsistent depending on road exposure to sun and the heat. I could feel how they stick to the asphalt, roll, stretch and then unstick. After I came back, I noticed that first time after six years, my tires had those dreaded holes where pieces of it have detached/broken off. Having said this, I think @tyrereviews should/could make a more elaborate tests on hot summer roads and how these tires behave there.
- At six year mark in winter period, several sub zero days caught the remaining water and ice appeared. They tires were completely useless. I went in a very short, very steep street, barely moving the car (knowing there was probably some ice). I just skidded and stopped when the wheel hit the horizontal ground of intersecting street. Needless to say I got scared in my pants.
- At seven year mark - got stuck in the mud one day. The rain came pouring that day and I couldn't get out the parking place haha.
Good moments
- At two years mark (tires three year old by then) I had a couple run ins with large puddle on a dark country road. Nothing happened.
- At five, as well as six year mark, I had two sudden heavy breakings on the highway. The sky broke over us in a matter of minutes. The rain flooded everything so much so, the truck in front became a blur from the amount of water pouring at us. From driving 130km/h, we went into crawl mode at 50/60km/h in the matter of minutes. At this point I was impressed as I was sure I'd simply skid and hit the truck from behind.
- At six year mark (same as Ice story above) we had some heavy snow. I waited for the streets to be moderately clean so I can drive. No problems up the hill or down as long as there is no clear ice. Compacted or regular snow, no problems at all.
General observations; not necessarily good or bad.
- The tires are on the soft side (compared to season tire) and I can feel the sidewall bending slightly when steering. Nothing you don't get used to, but there it is. Other than that, after running them for 6/7 years absolutely no problem with them.
- After a few hot city summers the tire edges started looking a bit scorched. However, I never had any problems and the scorched layer would wear off.
- Seat Leons MK2 don't generally have a very good sound insulation (Compared to Golf 5/6) so when driving above 100km/h you can hear the tires being a part of your conversation with others. It's not an unpleasant sound, but it's there. Not sure if it's the tire or sound insulation on the car.
Other than the infamous sea-side episode where the behaved like jelly, I am really satisfied with them. I'm now tempted to buy Goodyear Vector 4 Gen 3. Not sure what to expect.
