- You've been asking for it in the comments, now it's time to deliver! This week we have a 20k & 50k Continental TerrainContact AT Update. I've talked about the Continental TerrainContact AT several times before. We did a video of it in the snow two years ago, and did another video on it last year when I was looking for new tires for my Dodge Ram 1500. At 20k miles on the Ram and 50k miles on the Suburban, we can begin to see a good picture of how the Continental TerrainContact AT holds up over time through different applications.

I think you thoroughly explain your thoughts behind your actions very well. You dont over do it, or try to talk in a way that isnt natural to you. Very refreshing for a simple, to the point, and intelligent break down in all of your videos. I am only 16k miles on my TerrainContact A/T's on my Toyota Sequoia that I occasionally tow an RV with and also have no issues. I love these tires and will likely stick with them again. Keep up the quality work!
I appreciate that!
Absolute banger of a video sir! Always appreciate your feedback on tires. Your review of the Pirelli scorpion AT+ sold me on them, I have them installed on my 19 Ford Ranger. Keep the videos coming 👍
Right on!
just ordered a set for my F250, thanks for the info.
Good choice!
Great information. Thanks. Wish you were in Texas.
Me too!
Thanks for taking the time to do a follow up. So many people post an initial review and you never hear from them again.
My pleasure!
Appreciate the update on these tires! I've been wondering how these are holding up.
No problem 👍
Thanks for the update! Just confirms I will give these a try next over my Michelin Defender LTX and see how they do!
Please do!
Hey Matt.. thanks for the great info... upon watching your videos couple years ago I did by the At for our Yukon. Loved the tire and ride quality. Since sold that truck. Looking for new tires on my 06 4runner. I got 65000 on the Terragrapplers. Looking for a more road AT, wanted to get the Terrain contact again for the 4runner. Unfortunatly doesnt look like they are available in the west right now. Im sure I cant go wrong with the Nittos but hoping to get your opinion on both these tire. Basically grocery getter and kid houler at this point. I could possibly wait till Continentals are available.
thx Jay
I agree with the rotations at 10,000 miles...following the X pattern set by manufacturer. Nice video...and I'm liking these tires for my truck.
Right on!
Thanks for the great info on these tires. I have a 2018 2500HD Z71 Duramax that tows an RV pull behind. My use is in order: highway driving, towing, and the occasional dirt road......nothing hard core offroad. Your comparison of all the top AT tires was spot on. My top three that I had picked prior to seeing your video were the Conti AT, the BFG KO2 & the Gen ATX. The OEM Goodyear Wrangler SR-As were weak AT tires at best. You confirmed my research with practical knowledge. Concur on the air down for no load driving. Thanks Mate!
Sounds good. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the well thought out video. Putting them on my F150 with HD towing pkg. Need the AT style as we live on a gravel road. Replacing a set of OE K02’s so I’m eager to compare. I do expect less traction, but the K02’s are overkill IMO. I live in snow country so I am a bit worried about winter performance.
Thank you for your channel. My daughter just put Continental A/T on 2019 Armada what air pressure would you recommend I really appreciate all that you do
Thank you for all the great information you provide us .my question is I have 2021 F-350 Diesel would These Terrain contact A/T be the best tire for NY winter , 15K equipment trailer towing , and lots of highway miles at 70-75 mph . Thank you for your time .
I putting on a set of the continents a/t on my tundra Saturday because I value your knowledge of tires you helped me make up my mind with you video on the tires I wish your were near Louisville KY . I hopefully I get the same wear out of mine that you are getting out of your.
Right on!
Nice review, tnx. These continentals are front runners for the next set of tires on my 11 ram 3500 dually. Besides the original tires, I've run Cooper ST Maxx (all around worst tires), Michelins, ok tires, but to much sidewall flex and didn't survive gravel roads so well, General grabbers ATx, best tires so far. But I run Continentals on my wife's car and they have been impressive in all categories. Oh, your tire wear comment. I rotate every 5k. You almost have too because of the solid front axle on our trucks. That's just the nature of the beast vs an independent front suspension like the GM's. Again, good review sir. Tnx
Thank you for your informative videos. You only comment about wear and a bit about noise. You say not about traction and handling ..which I , and I think many others would find inmportant. Thank you.
I will on the next update.
In Australia I rotate my tyres every 10k KMs so every 6000 miles or so. Cross fronts to back, back comes forward. Doing that I'm basically guaranteed 5 years at least out of them. I change them out by 7 years regardless. Lots of city and highway, lots of rough dirt with rocks sharp enough to shave with and of course endless high speed highways in our apocalyptic hot summers on coarse chip roads which is like sandpaper.
I'm going to order these for my 2016 Silverado
I have a set of Mickey Thompson Deegan's 265/70R18 on a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 and I do a lot of highway driving and lots of starting and stopping in the city, granted I live in a small town but live 15 minutes down the highway from town, I've had them since 2018 and they've been great in everything! I think you should try them and I would also love to see how they compare with the other brands such as General Grabber, Continental, Wrangler, BFG, etc. Would love to know what you think!
Really appreciate the video! I’ve been eyeing these for my stock 2013 Tacoma.
I’m looking for something a little more all-terrain, but still mostly a highway tire. Anything else you recommend?
Toyo Open Country AT3
I have a 2015 grand Cherokee, after watching your videos I think that I wanna buy the general grabber hts60. Since I’m mostly on the highway but also do some occasional off-roading. Do you think it’s a good decision? Thank you for your videos.
Love the channel quick question. What's the largest terrain contact A/T I can fit on my stock f150 275/65/18? Thank you
I have had a set on my 2020 Ram 2500 for about a year. I have about 10 thousand miles on them and am really happy so far. Good traction and great towing. I like to rotate and change oil every 5k. Yea it costs a bit more but it pays dividends in longevity of the vehicle.
Right on
I put the Continental Terrain Contact HT on my Yukon, they road a little rough at first but after 5k miles they ride better. I’m rotating every 7500 miles because that’s my oil change schedule. The Continental HT is a great option and still has a pretty good terrain look. Matt’s video on the HT tires sold me on the Continental.
Good choice!
Have you ever tried Yokohama geolander at g015. Awesome tire in the snow
Another great video
These tires were on my short list along with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, but from user reviews the Nitto Ridge Grapplers are noisy and very slippery on wet pavement, although they would look nicer and have a lot more aggressive look
And a great tire for off-roading, not so much for pavement I guess from my research, and I drive mostly on pavement and do a bit of light off-roading, like when I was a kid with my Honda Trail 70, I still have
I also think a 4Runner looks stupid with what I call car tires that they come with
These have an aggressive look, not as much as the Nitto Ridge Grappler, but a better fit for me, from my research they are quiet and have the shortest braking distance on wet and dry pavement in the segment by a long shot, and a ride almost comparable to a touring tire?, and dig in off-road almost like a true off road tire?, so not much of a compromise either way if my research was correct?
Continental spent a ton of money and a ton of research to develop these tires, for anyone who cares to look it up
The fact that someone with your expertise, and all the tires you have installed, tested and reviewed, customer feed back etc
Not only put them on one, but all of of his vehicles and is choosing them again is good enough for me, my research has come to a end
I will be buying the Continental Terrain Contact AT
I know you are not biased because you sell all kinds of tires and wouldn't care what brand a person bought, as long as they bought them from you, Lol
Also there is no huge Continental sign or flag waving behind you, only a Jeep sign over top of a Chevrolet Suburban
I will be taking delivery of a new 2022 Toyota 4Runner trail, and will be replacing the Bridgestone Dueler H/T car tires with these, maybe I can get the dealer to do it?
Thank you so much for the great videos and detailed information
Thanks for your videos on this tire! Thanks to your review I purchased 4 of these for my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500. I have been using my truck to pull a 5th wheel and the improvement in ride and performance over my old tires was immediately noticeable. Haven't done a rotation yet, but will let you know when I do. Also I run 55PSI in front and 80PSI in the rear for towing (as per dodge specifications for towing). Is there a reason you run lower PSI across all 4?
I only run 55 psi unloaded. When I tow I run 65 psi in the front and 80 psi in the rear.
Service & rotate every 10k for me with a 2020 F250 6.7l powerstroke. Great video. I’m off road alot in bad mud in Florida ranches plus on the highway. Stock came with Michelin LTX AT & only got 30k with them. Then got Firestone MT2 275/65r20. Only got 20,000 out of them. Then got 35x12.50r20 Firestone MT2 but at 20,000 had them replaced with the BFT AT2 because the noise of the Firestone MT2 was really getting to me. I was running the MT’s at 35psi unless I was hauling something.
I’ll see how these BFG’s do. I just hope I can get 50k out of a set of tires.
Tyre rotation, In South Africa we follow European standards, cross ply tyres get rotated, radial tyres do not get rotated.
My Canadian spec BMW manual which is pretty much US spec, the manual sates, "Do not rotate tires as the tires settle into your cars tire wear paten and rotating will disrupt the wear paten, in other words the tyres will have to wear into pattern like new tyres.
I find if the suspension is lined up properly, without rotation, your the rear tyres wear a bit faster than the front tyres, and by the time the rear are done, the front are almost done.
I do the same with my Isuzu Trooper, the tyres have have 50k miles and are pretty much even..
Love your video's, Thanks.
I’ve had continental AT for 65,000 on my 2013 Subaru Outback 3.6R. They are expensive but flawless in performance no matter if I’m on the road or on gravel roads or snow. Not one puncture. Buying another set asap.
How about gas mileage? I read this has high rolling resistance
I know I'm late to the game on this one, but I've been pricing new tires for my 18 Ram 1500. I'm on the factory Wrangler SRA's that are getting slippy in the rain at 40k mile. I rotate every 5,000 mile. I was on the fence between KO2's and Dura Trac's. Now after watching a couple of your videos and seeing these TerrainContacts, these seem like my best bet. I'm in Iowa, 90% highway, decent amount of winter snow, pull a boat in the summer and gravel/dirt roads/ag fields (no heavy off-roading) during hunting season. Is this the tire for me or should I be looking at something else?
I bought a set of these off your recommendation for my 2019
Ram 4X4 Limited 22” Tires.
Best riding, running and mild off road tire I’ve ever run.
I will buy these again.
Thanks for your help.
Watch all your videos.
Great to hear!
Tommy I have the 2022 Ram 4X4 Limited with 22"wheels.
What size tire did you mount?
Continental on my bicycle in 1999 and still rolling.
I may have to try them on a truck.
Based on your review, went with the firestone destination xt for my 2020 2500hd diesel. Damn great tire in the rain and snow. Was going with these but heard towing will wear them out really fast.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
The x/t seems like a great tire. I saw a set on a newer 2500 Silverado recently and they looked really good as well.
Another awesome review! Would you recommend the Contis’ over the Geolandar AT GO15 for a Jeep Wrangler JLU? Typically driven 80%/20% Hwy/moderate off road (some muddy trails). I’d greatly appreciate your input.
I would go for a BF Goodrich K02 or a General Grabber ATX
I run the same tire my size 275 65 18, on a 1/2 ton ford lariat supercab I am having a hard time with air pressure. What do you recommend? Right now it's at 50 psi on all 4 thanks for info and your informative videos.
Could you possibly review the Continental Crosscontact ATR? I would be interested in your thoughts on them.
I have a set of Toyo Open Country II with 20k on them on a Ram Outdoorsman. They are Terrible in the rain slipping all the time and scare the hell out of me. They are rough riding, shimmy and I have been very disappointed in the Toyo. Thinking of going with the Continental AT's. Are they good in wet, rainy weather?
Hi
How are these tires doing?
I know it’s been only 4 months, but are you still satisfied?
Is there a way to see another update or some pictures?
I have the drink contact ATS from Continental on my Honda Ridgeline I do a lot of highway driving but also some country driving not really in the trails per se but just back roads gravel driveways stuff like that. It's a 60,000 mi tire I currently have 70,000 miles on them and I still have some tread left just had to measured at the tire center and their estimating I can go another 8 to 10,000 before I even get close to the tread wear indicator. That would be close to 80,000 mi out of a 60,000 mile tire. My Honda Ridgeline calls for 35 PSI cold I run them at 36 PSI cold in the summer and 37 PSI cold in the winter. My reason for that is that in the summer they tend to heat up faster and a little bit higher than it does in the winter. That being said I do find that even though my truck calls for 35 cold that's for highway tires. I find I get better mileage per tire rotation better treadwear and overall better ride comfort if I run about a pound or two higher Then what the door sticker says to run it at. In the summer by the time it heats up it's at 38 39 PSI and I get a really good ride out of it. I rotate mine about every 6,000 to 7,000 mi. That's my oil change interval that I use with my truck using full synthetic oil. I found it that really helps my treadwear with that PSI combination in that rotation interval. I think if y'all tried something like that instead of 10,000 mi you will notice a little less road noise during the first week of the rotation. I don't notice any at all doing it at 6,000 to 7,000 miles.
I recommend measuring the center of the tire . Seeing if it is the as the inner edge and outer edge. That will tell you if you are under inflated or over inflated. If you just measure the innerage and outrage I'm tired that just tells you if you're alignment is bad.
Matt what is the difference between the terrain contact line and the cross contact tire line. I am looking at getting the cross contact atrs for my Subaru Crosstrek and would love your input
Just bought a 22 gladiator high altitude with 275/55-20 HT tires on . Wanted to upgrade to an AT tire , probably going 275/60-20 to go a little taller , would you recommend these for the gladiator ? I dont need anything real aggressive. Im in Pa so snow is a factor also.
Continental Terrain contact at vs michelin defender ltx ms for wet traction when the tires are both worn down half way. Which one would you recommend. I like the look of the continental but would rather have which one has the better wet traction. Thank you.
Great update on these tires. I religiously change oil and rotate at 5000 miles. On my HD trucks I have been getting around 40k out of the tires..and thats been the Toyo RT, Nitto Ridge Grappler, and right now I have the Geolander X-At...37 12.5 x 20 at 50 lbs front 54 in rear. I rotate front to back only. I haul and tow 12-16k pounds and do a lot of city...so I am happy that I get 40k out of a set. Not certain if an AT tire would work out better but I need the 37's with my 3" lift, so that usually presents a problem.
That is awesome mileage for a lifted truck.
@@CampusautoCo This carli 3" lift on this 20 7.3 tracks straight. I am very pleased and she rides much better than stock, and looks awesome. I have owned many lifts, and drive this truck from MS to WI without that white knuckle experience that you typically get with an inferior lift. You need to put one on your ram. ;)
I have these on my 2010 Mercedes GL350 and the tires are at 30k and very close to be gone. Very disappointing. But the traction and noise is very good. However they do have noise when rotated. This is because of the slight feathering due to front wheels brake the majority of the time, which pulls thread block back.
How about a review on Pirelli scorpion all terrain plus. LT version.
I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic that I'm putting tires on tomorrow. Have watched so many of your reviews!! Still undecided though. You have given me so much info to consider!! I'm running a 275/60R20. Leaning towards Coopers, General APT, or the KO2's. Can you suggest one for me?
I like the K02
Great videos.
Have a 2018 ram 2500 mega cab.
Went down from the 20” oem wheel to the 17” power wagon wheel. Using the oem wrangler duratrac. Love them in the snow, but they seem to wear down fast due to towing my dump trailer and boat once in two weeks or so.
What other tire I should look into?
Should I go back to the 20” oem and get these continental at or stay with 17” and go with these continentals as well.
Well, The 17 will always ride better and be cheaper to replace.
Would like to see something on hiway tread tires for dually. 245/75-17 .I have an F350 and getting close for tires.
Prefer Michelin but open to all. Enjoy your video, very informative. Thanks.
You could do a Michelin Defender LTX or a General Grabber HTS60
I have these on my ram 2500 Cummins. I have 20 inch wheels, I run them at 60psi. With that said I'm not impressed with them. From day 1 I felt a shimmy on my truck. I've had the tires road force balanced aligned all at specialty shops. The rain and snow it does ok. Dry weather a little road noise. I have 15k on them now and seem to be wearing ok. I love the falkin at 3 I had them on my last truck makes these tires look real bad. I should have gone the extra money on them. I got a really good deal on these. To that end love love love the falkin tires and just like these a little bit.
Wondering if you'd recommend Conti ATs vs. the Toyo AT3s. 2012 Ram 2500 crew cab long bed. I use it daily for my carpentry tools, and tow a 37' travel trailer for vacations. Tire size is 265/70-17 and I'm concerned the Toyos are only 2 ply sidewalls in that size. I'm outside Philadelphia, PA so need decent snow manners as well.
Continental Terrain Contact AT
I’d love to hear your thoughts on a direct comparison between the terraincontact h/t vs the defender ltx m/s. My use case is 99.5% city/highway with occasional weekend drives on gravel roads in the Rockies. No towing. Driving a LX570. I already have dedicated winter rims & tires so snow traction is not really a concern. Thank you.
what did you choose i have defenders looking to see if the terrain contact is better ?
@@user-hx3yv1so2nwish I could help but I got a good deal on a 3rd option and jumped on it instead (falkens).
I'd like to see a review of the Kumho Road Venture AT51.
Got it.
Nice reviews. What would you recommend on a 2019 Z71 with 285/45/22's? General Grabber APT, Continental Terrain Contact At or the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S? Mostly highway driving. Thanks.
Can you get all three? If so, I’d do the Continental.
Would like to see more reviews on 'budget' tires. In todays economy selection often comes down to price. Case in point - my 2018 f150 came with hankook dynapro at2 tires. No complaints on those tires. I rotated them every 5k miles with an oil change and got just over 60k outta them. Probably could've pushed 70 but wet traction loss was getting noticeable. Money was tight and I got a set of Dextero all terrain tires (never heard of them before) at walmart for $500 installed. Hankook replacements were going to be just over $800 at the time. 275/55r20. I was skeptical but here I am 60k miles later and they have been overall better than the factory hankooks. Wet traction was better from day 1. Price has gone up a bit but I'm going for my second set next week.
Every use case is different. My driving is 90% on road with a load in the bed, but those Dexteros got me through winter-pocalypse Texas 2021 with zero issues.
Team China!
???
Boo, IF yes
I rotate exactly as you do- criss cross the fronts to the rears and bring the rears straight up (opposite of what most tire stores do around here) because it helps wear the feathering back to normal faster than doing criss crossing the rears to the front like they do here. However, with a 4wd I always rotate every 3- a max of 5K miles. Too many moving parts up front at each corner to not do so and still expect the best wear.
Good to know.
I always hear that is bad to change direction of rotation on radial tires. When I do criss cross I unmount and flip on the rim so they stay rotating on the same direction.
@@Cachapeluo It was a bad idea to switch direction of rotation on early radials (in the very late '60-s through most of the 70's) but that hasn't been true for a few decades now. It won't hurt a thing. All tires shops I am aware of do it and I have done it for 30 plus years without a single issue.
@@404nitro thanks the correction.
@@Cachapeluo I hope it helps you out and saves you time and money in the future. 🙂
I wanted to buy the Continental A/T for my 2WD Tundra but it is only available locally in E Load and I only need the P rated for I don’t tow and I like a smoother ride. What will be your alternative suggestion to the Continentals.
I like rotating like you do, but will do what the manual says, if it does, because that's easier to remember what I did last time. I'm doing oil changes every 7k miles and rotating then. I'd like t avoid uni-directional tires, but it's hard to avoid with winters (live in Canada). Does your Ram specify up to 55lbs on the door jamb, or are you ignoring that and going with the tire's max inflation spec? I've often wondered what I should do when they're drastically different . I've got a set of Kumho Roadventure AT51s on my little truck (Colorado) that I've been really pleasantly surprised with, would love to see you have a look at something like that.
I am ignoring the factory spec of 65 front 80 rear because it beats me to death. I will check that Kumho out.
Great info as usual. Am considering these tires, but would like your opinion. Have a 2015 GMC 2500 diesel 4x4, do a lot of towing with a horse trailer, 24' enclosed trailer and 10k dump trailer, mostly on road/ highway with occasional dirt roads, and do encounter snow and a bit of mud with the season changes here in NJ. In addition to these Continental AT tires, Im also looking at the Toyo OpenCountry AT3. In the HT category, the General Grabber HTS60 and Yoko Geolander HT GO56. Need a tire that is: 1st and foremost- strong and stable while towing, 2nd- quiet on the highway, 3rd- ever so slightly aggressive enough to get me out of loose dirt/ snow when encountered. What are your thoughts/ suggestion considering the truck and use. Thanks!
Believe it or not, we have similar truck usage. I would say the Continental Terrain Contact AT hands down. I think your heavy trailers will wear the other tires out very fast.
I'm just really impressed with your Suburban! I don't have one, but I'm a big fan. I was surprised to hear yours is an 07, I belong to a few GM groups and they always advise people to stay away from the 07's they're supposed to be problematic because they're the first year of the GMT900 body style.
I guess yours never got the memo that it's supposed to be unreliable!
No, actually its been pretty unreliable. I just have the means to fix it.
@@CampusautoCo haha, gotcha!
2020 Ram 1500 - going to a 275/60 20 - truck is 99.9% hwy. considering Conti ATs, Falken AT3w, or Toyo AT3. Have zero need for AT tire but I guess I like the “look”. Thoughts?
Get the Conti then.
Wondering about the extra weight of this tire and how it may increase braking distances and decrease fuel economy.
When you say hwy, do you mean going down the hwy at 55 mph or at 70 mph?
I have the Bridgestone Revo 3 tires and they are quiet on the highway at 55 mph. At 70 mph, they do get loud.
Great stuff. What do you recommend for replacement tires on a 2018 Genesis G80 3.8 RWD, 245/45/18
Continental DWS06 Plus
I’d like to see you compare continental contact at with bf Goodrich terrain
I love these tires. Can you due a review with passenger car tires. Been thinking of getting 4 of these tires for my car at the end of the year.
I have some up that you can go back and check out.
Good video I have been looking for a tire for my 4wd F350 dually as I pull 14 k lb 5 ver. How do you think there’s will do ? I have Michelin at on now. New there 12/32 tread and are quite and smooth. Thoughts?
You could try this tire. If you have had good luck with the Michelin you could stick with them.
Would like to see Federal Xplora R/T it’s a new hybrid tire fairly aggressive
I need to see if I can get one and check it out. It looks crazy.
I have a 2003 Toyota Tundra 4wd with 200,000 miles (trouble free I might add) I have always bought Michelins until my last set of tires. Because I was in Vietnam in and around Michelin rubber plantations and a buddy of mine reminded me of all the crap they caused us, I bought a set of Yokohomas that I am not real pleased with. I bought Continentals for my wife's Subaru and I am totally impressed. I have been looking at Continental Terrain Contact H/V. What say you? It has the shortest stopping distance in it's class wet or dry and here in Florida, you have to have both.
Thanks, nice video.
I would look at the Continental Terrain Contact AT or HT. Either one would be fine.
You should compared these to the Goodyear Ultraterrain AT. Running those on my suburban 2500 great milder AT
The Goodyear Ultraterrain is a Walmart and Sams Club tire. No comparison.
In my past experience nothing beats the Michelin Defenders for Tread life. I was almost at 80k miles before they hit 3/32nds. Typically rotate them every 5-7k miles.
80k before 3/32nds is AWESOME! Glad you had a good experience to share. Thanks for watching and commenting. Are you still running those?
@@CampusautoCo Yes sir! Run them exclusively on all three of my vehicles. I do strictly highway driving and they perform exceptional in the rain . I’m not sure about snow or ice as I live in Texas.
same
I know I'm late to the party but just put the Continentals A/T on my 2022 Ram 1500 Limited. The OEM Pirelli's were just a horrible tire but kept them for exactly two years to get some return on investment. I would like to know if you have experience with the H/T version of this tire? My Wife's SUV will be due tires next year around December and wanted some insight to how the H/Ts are different from the A/T in real world environment.. I have seen people comment that the H/T was actually a bit better in the snow than the A/Ts. Anyway thanks for your videos, it helped me make a decision on my recent purchase.
William, I burned up the Pirelli Scorpions up in 1 year with 30k miles on my 2022 Ram 1500 Limited! Nice racing tire but terrible wear life.
I'm looking forward to the Contis.
What size tire did you mount?
I just got a 2017 f150 that came with the factory 20" wheels and 275/55 r20 tires. They are getting close to replacement. Watching your videos, I am torn between the Continental Terrain Contact AT, Toyo Open Country A/T 3, and Falken Wildpeak A/T3W. Mostly driving in town and highway, occasionally pulling a camper. What would you say to go with? I've also been thinking of changing tires from the 275/55 R20 to 275/60 R20 or change to an 18" wheel and get something like 275/65 R18. Opinions?
Continental Terrain Contact AT
I rotate all my tires based on wear. When I can feel some cupping up front it is time to rotate in my opinion. I also don’t like to run till they are at the wear bars because they seem to pick up nails easier when worn out.
I understand. Do what works for you!
New subscriber here
I have a 2019 Toyota tundra.
I got 305 55 r20 ridge grapplers and I'm not happy with them at all especially in rainy pavement
Thankfully it's for me to replace them
I do not do any towing, and I drive on pavement 95% of the times which is in New York City. I need a tire that will handle good mostly and rainy weather on pavement and of course a all weather tire
Which one do you recommend
What are you thoughts/opinions on this continental terrain contact at vs. the good old Firestone transforce at2? Traction in the snow, dirt, mud? And tread wear?
The Conti is a much better tire in terms of traction and tread wear. The Firestone is quieter.
I am interested in these tires for my F150 that pulls a 4,000 TT. About 3200 on the rear axle and the Michelin Defenders feel I am riding on jello with a trailer.. Do these have a better sidewall
Thanks! My son is at VT and has a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Actually, he doesn’t know it yet, but I’m giving him this vehicle. You’re vids have me leaning toward the Continental Terrain Contact A/T tire. 265/50R. You agree?? Thanks again
Hey David, thanks for commenting! What a sweet surprise! GO HOKIES! I definitely agree with the Terrain Contact A/T. They have been great for me in this area and will be fine for him.
David, I forgot to say, if you haven't gotten those tires yet or are considering it in the future, be sure to give the shop a call and we can get him taken care of. Thanks again!
@@CampusautoCo thanks for the offer,I’m in VA Beach and have finished getting the tires installed. Also, my son was going to come home this weekend but his car wouldn’t start. He has a Subaru Outback, 2008 I think. Anyway, I told him to get it towed to your place, I believe it’s there now. I was going to give him the Jeep over Christmas but might have to accelerate that depending on what’s wrong with the Outback!
What is your opinion on the Cooper At3 4’s All Terrain’s
Sticker on door jamb of my 2017 Ram 2500 diesel are 65 front 80 rear. I suspect your 2018 is similar. 55 seems too low especially when pulling a 5th wheel. Lots of weight on the back end. I wouldn’t want it that low when towing. Do you always run it at 55 or do you air up to recommended specs when towing?
I run 65 and 80 when towing. 55 around town when I am not.
Running 55 psi on your Ram, do you drive around with the TPMS light on for the rear, or have you come up with a way to reprogram. I have a 2016 Ram 2500 and would love to run lower PSI in back. Also, I am looking at the Continental TerrianContact AT's, but wondering with the increased weight will these significantly impact fuel mileage.
I tried to get it reprogrammed at the dealer. I think you can do a 2016 but not 2018+.
Is the tire on Subarn a LT rated or P rated? And what is the difference in rating? I try every 5k for tire rotation
Im looking at the Pirelli A/T Plus 275/55/r20's for my 2016 sierra denali 1500 . I think they will look great . What do you think of this choice? Im open to ideas.
Thoughts or ideas?
What would you recommend for a 14’ F-150. Minimal towing. 80% on road. 20% gravel roads and occasional light mud use.
The Continental Terrain Contact AT
I would like to see an actual use review on the Nitro Terra Grappler G2
I'll see what I can do.
I'd love to see a comparison between these and yokohama geolandar ATs. I ran the ATs on my Astro and loved them, now I have a Sienna and am trying to figure out what tires to get for them.
The size on the Sienna will determine what is available. I know some sizes have limited choices.
@@CampusautoCo I know both those tires are available ffor the Sienna but yeah, not as many options as other sizes for sure.
Id say continental is probably better, the geolander was brand new on my highlander and it is loud fron the start so no more geocrap fo me.
It seems that Continental discontinued this modell, what would you recommend for a 2018 Nissan Frontier Diesel?
I need to replace the current tires on my 2013 Ram 1500. The stocks goodyear wranglers weren't anything great. I went Michelin LTX's next and wasn't impressed. I have 40k miles on my Nexen Roadian AT's now and they need to go. Ok tires but nothing special and a little squirrelly in the rain. I have had KO2's in the past and really like the aggressive look of them. Im looking at them again, the generals, Toyo and Duratrak's. I do mostly on road driving and decent amount of highway and tow boats a handful of times/year. Live in New England so snow is a consideration. What would you recommend based on your experience? Thanks!
Stay away from general especially atx grabber. Wet traction is meh. Snow is horrible.
I've been running Michelin LTX M/S tires for over 20 years. Put 80k on my '01 F150 4wd and only replaced them cause they were getting old, they still had plenty of tread. How you compare these Continentals to the Michelins? Just better off-road? Anything else?
Continental is a little more aggressive and stronger than the Michelin but it wont ride or balance out as good.
I’d like to see how these stack up to the Nitto Recons which are both on my short list.
Maverick, that may make a good comparison video! I'll see if I can work that out.
You said you run 55psi on the 2500... do you maintain that psi when hauling your 5th wheel? Thanks in advance!
No I run 65psi in the front and 80psi in the rear when I tow.
would you do a comparison of the
Pirelli
Scorpion All Terrain Plus
and the
Cooper
Evolution HT
275/60 R20
thank you
I did a video on the Pirelli but I have not compared it in a video.
I looked hard at those tires when I bought my 2018 Silverado, but the sets we saw being taken off and stored for winter at the local DT were just flat loaded with small stones and I don't want that. The tires are simply never in balance properly with the tires loaded down so bad with stones, not to mention having them thrown against the sides of the vehicle as you drive. So, my Q for you is, how have they been for you in that regard?
It hasn't been bad. Gravel is worse than the OE Firestone. The balance hasn't been perfect. I have a vibration at 70mph but it goes away at higher speeds.
Matt I'm torn between the Continentals, Falken Wildpeaks, and the Grabber ATX's for my '18 Titan. I'm in the Northeast with fairly mild winters. I do 99% highway/street driving. Which of these would you recommend? Appreciate your expertise.
Go with the Continentals.
@@CampusautoCo Thanks!
Can you do a review on the Pirelli scorpion verde all season plus 2. Thinking about putting them on my 2016 Explorer.
I'll look at it and see. I have heard that its not that great of a tire. Most people that replace it go to another tire.
I can confirm, we have them on our 2015 Explorer. Not terrible, but not great either. Wet traction is not very good, and they haven't been wearing very well. Definitely going a different route next time.
I have the Michelin premier LTX now. They have 30k on them and there shot.
I rotate mine on my 2500 every 5 k. My firestones lasted 21000 and I changed them out for some Goodyear wranglers. I wish I had gotten the continentals.
I have 30k on my Conti's now but I'm chasing a vibration in a couple of them. It's driving me crazy.
@@CampusautoCo
I’ve always heard on radials you cannot rotate left to right only front to rear, because it will loosen the belts. Let us know what you find out. Love all your content, keep up the great work. Rick
Vibration? Ooh that dont sound too good makes me kinda off now.
Will you please do a video on the cross contact lx25?
Thanks, I'll add it to the list I'm working on.
Do these run quieter than say a cooper discoverer at3? Had a set on my canyon loved the looks/capability but had a drone at higher speeds.
I always run a pound or 2 over spec just ensure proper shape. Square tires tend to handle dramatically different depending on inflation but a/t its ride and fuel economy. Considering these for my newer ridgeline.
I think that they will be a great choice for your Ridegline. They will be louder than the factory tires though.
Im also considering the cooper at3 or this one also, i want snow n ice traction plus low noise.
Would like to see more reviews on Kenda klever rt and atturo trail blade ATS tires if you can please. Mostly the Kenda klever rt I’m more interested in.
I will check it out
@@CampusautoCo appreciate it sir
