Quiet Ride
I had these put on my 2011 Honda CR-V to replace the original tires. This particular vehicle is known for it's above average "road noise" and it was so bad that a friend of mine actually asked if I had a bad wheel bearing. I never thought a set of tires could have a meaningful impact on the obnoxious noise, but these tires truly did. Simply put, these tires made my vehicle not only bearable to drive, but an absolute pleasure to drive. I only have a couple thousand miles on them so far...so I'm hoping they stay this quiet for the life of the tire.

Horrible gas mileage
Read many reviews of tires to replace the OEM's that came on our 2016 Subaru Crosstrek and concluded from all the positive accolades from the new Tour and previous TrueContact model, this was the tire to buy. The handling on wet and dry roads is truly superior, driving in the rain exudes confidence, and even driving around on our New Hampshire dirt and gravel roads the handling is outstanding. Nice quiet tire too, very low road noise. However, the gas mileage is ridiculously bad, to the point where I think the tire is somehow flawed or defective. Highway mileage with the OEM tires was 33mpg, with the TrueContacts we're barely getting 26mpg. Had the balancing rechecked along with the air pressure, not sure why such a dramatic drop in mpg's?

Grest tire for wet & snow
I bought these tires in 2015 and have nearly 65,000 miles on them. I drive just over 20,000 miles a year and I travel through West Virginia mountains during the winter time and these are the very best tire I have ever had on my 2010 Toyota Sienna. My vehicle handles like a dream on those twisting/winding roads. I really would love to get another set of these tires but I have been told that they have been discontinued. I don't know how Continental can make a better but I sure am waiting to find out.

11k miles so far so good
Have a 2011 Camry that these tires are mounted too. Have been very happy with the performance so far in my first 11k miles. Winter weather and snow here and they worked great. No need for AWD like most think. Looking forward to see how they are in the summer months now. Road noise was low and the ride comfort was good compared to the Cooper CS5 GTs I had before, and the Uniroyal Tiger Paws when I bought the car CPO. ~30-32 MPG HWY @ 65-73 MPH.

Love these tires so far
Bought the True Contact Tour for my 2016 Subaru Outback. I am very please with every aspect of the tires after 1k miles. I am no expert, I just want to share my experience since I use reviews to help me make important decisions like buying tires. First, these are so much better than the stock outback tires B*** Duelers were a huge disappointment and I will never buy their product and may not buy another Outback if they continue to put them on with no other option. I am happy that I chose the True Contacts over M*** Premiers that are 50% more expensive.
I drive primarily combined, rural and highway, not city. True Contacts so far for me prove to be very quiet, track well in dry and wet, I have not driven on snow or ice yet. Cornering and especially comfort on bumps is vastly improved, mileage so far comparable over those the stock BS tires they replaced.

Disappointing Gas Mileage
I bought these tires a month ago to replace the Continental Pro Contact tires. The made are annual holiday trip from Indiana to Pennsylvania and I was very disappointed that instead of the usual 29 MPG, I only got 25 MPG. Additionally around town my MPG went from 21 to 19. If I drive 10,000 miles per year that means I will use at least 50 more gallons a gas per year and at $2.25/gal.

They're Okay
I replaced the OEM Continental tires on my CR-V with these new 'eco' Continentals. They handle well in dry and wet, they're relatively quiet, and the tread seems to be wearing well (had them for about 13,000 miles). My big beef is that my average mpg has gone down about 2 mpg. It's really disappointing. Think I'll visit another brand the next time I need tires...

Quiet, smooth ride
I had the original tires on my 2014 Prius C replaced after four years. I thought a noisy, bumpy ride was to be expected on my small car. Boy, was I surprised when the TrueContact Tours were installed! The ride is so much smoother and quieter. They were great during the snowy winter. I couldn't be happier.
