New Continental ControlContact Sport SRS+ Tires

[Riotous]

Replaced the factory GTPE Pirelli rubber at 15,400 miles with these new Continental ControlContact Sport SRS+ (245/45 R20 103Y XL BSW). Really enjoying the nice ride. One of the Pirellis had a slow leak and the wear on all four was into the yellow. Seemed a bit early to replace, but feel very confident with the new set and it appears efficiency is up. Will give it some time to see.

Anyone else try these?

Are these Summer or All-Season tires. Ride better, how about "noise"?

 

[Riotous]

All Season - I'd say the noise is perhaps a tad more than the Pirellis. My wife noticed, me, not so much. Rolling resistance is much lower, I have to recalibrate my 1-pedal braking, I keep running into intersections, lol.

They look nice. What made you choose these over ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus? And what was the price?

EDIT: found a good Reddit thread on the differences. TLDR they are VERY similar. OP, please report back once you've tested them out!

I love them! Every time I start driving the car when my wife is with me I tell her, "Did I tell you how much I love these tires?" Drives her nuts... But seriously, they are great, couldn't be happier, I think they are quiet, smooth ride, and lots of grip when you need it, in rain anyway. I live outside Houston, so no snow. Go get a set; I think about $1,000 for 4 at DiscountTire.

Will these fit on the Premium 4X wheels?

Assuming you have the 19" wheels, the Continental ControlContact Sport SRS+ is not yet available in the 225/55R 19. However, if you upsize to the 235/55R 19, Continental has the DWS 06 + available.

The 235 will fit on the 7" wide wheels with no issues.

Hope that helps.

Damn solid recommendation.

I checked the Continental web site and they are not marketed as low rolling resistance tires. Did I miss something?

They are NOT marketed as a low rolling resistance tire, but both the ControlContact Sport SRS+, and the Extreme Contact DWS 06+ do very well in this application.

They are good tires but people report range loss with the DWS 06+ tires.

Rolling resistance is significantly better than the stock Pirellis. I guess this is to be expected, moving from a summer tire to an all-season, but for me the trade-off is negligible. I love how these handle and roll.

Mine was a loss...but not that much from what I've experienced...maybe 5%...and I went from 245 to 255 so that could play into it as well.

Didnt you also replace your rims? That will impact highway range.
