About This Tire

The Continental ContiProContact 235/45R17 is a grand touring all-season tire, designed for European sport coupe and sedan drivers who prioritize balanced handling and comfort in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on continuous road contact, wet traction enhancement, and noise reduction through advanced edge technology.

The tire features a symmetric, notched-rib tread design with an all-season compound that maintains flexibility across temperature ranges. Continental's PROactive Edge Technology incorporates over 800 arched edges in the tread pattern to improve stormy-weather grip while enabling smooth transitions between pattern elements to minimize road noise. Wide circumferential grooves enhance hydroplaning resistance and wet weather performance. Driver feedback points to reliable wet and dry handling with good comfort levels, though treadwear shows moderate longevity expectations.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for imported and domestic sedans and coupes used primarily for daily driving and highway travel in varied weather conditions.
