About This Tire

The Continental TerrainContact A/T 255/65R17 is an all-terrain tire designed for pickup truck, SUV, Jeep, and crossover drivers who prioritize on-road comfort and off-road capability in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on balancing quiet highway performance with reliable traction across varied terrain and weather conditions.

The tire features Continental's +Silane enhanced all-season compound molded into a mild all-terrain tread pattern with open sections for off-road grip and stable tread blocks for even wear. Full-depth sipes and edge-of-the-block traction grooves maintain grip throughout the tire's life, while two high-tensile steel belts provide structural integrity. Driver feedback points to strong dry performance and durability, with good wet traction and comfortable ride quality standing out in daily use.

Compared to highway-focused tires, it adds off-road traction while maintaining reasonable on-road manners. Overall, it's a solid choice for light truck and SUV owners used primarily for highway driving with occasional off-road adventures in year-round conditions.
