The Continental SecureContact AW 235/45R18 is an all-season tire designed for family sedan, coupe, crossover and SUV drivers who prioritize versatile performance and year-round capability in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on balancing dry, wet, and light snow traction while meeting severe snow service requirements for three-peak mountain snowflake certification.
The tire features Continental's ecoPlus+ Technology, which combines additives and polymers with the all-weather rubber compound to strengthen the tire for longer tread life and improve wet road adhesion. The asymmetric tread pattern creates a stable contact patch for improved traction and wear distribution, while five deep circumferential grooves help evacuate standing water for enhanced wet weather performance.
Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability across varied weather conditions. Overall, it's a solid choice for family vehicles used primarily for daily driving and commuting in regions with changing seasonal weather.
