Continental Tires - Worst Tires EVER!
Complaint
Review by Vinnie11 on 2013-01-07
Rating: 
I purchased new tires for my car on December 15, 2011. One year and 5 days later, I failed inspection because I needed new tires. I've driven 20,204 miles. In April of 2012, one of my new tires blew and I replaced it. That one was still ok but the rest were shot. I've never had a 20k tire before and I'm extremely disappointed that they would put such a crappy tire on a Mercedes as standard equipment. The dealer wanted $380 EACH to replace these with the same sub-standard tires! I went back to Michelins. I've never had a problem with those. Hopefully they'll last longer than a year.

Continentals are usually put on new cars because they're cheap.
I've purchased new cars in the past with continentals and I was lucky to get 20,000 miles out of them.
You will be much better off with the Michelins.
I've had good luck with the Goodyear fuel saver line on my Honda.

Cheap? How about they put on a soft compound tire to match the performance profile of the vehicle. Sure you can put on a touring ride tire on your car and it'll last forever but probably not something I'd want on a Mercedes
