215/55R16 Continental ContiProContact – All Season EV Compatible M+S Performance Touring

Category: All Season – Grand Touring

The Continental ContiProContact is an all-season tire. It is made for many domestic and imported sport coupes and sedans. The ContiProContact offers a smooth, quiet ride and maneuvers well in most driving conditions including light snow. It also has a 130,000km tread life warranty for S and T rated sizes, 95,000km for H rated sizes or a 65,000km for V and W rated sizes.

XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 97 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 730 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
  • Speed Rating H indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 210 km/h under proper load and inflation.
  • All Season tires are made for mild year round driving, but they generally do not meet Quebec winter tire requirements unless they also carry 3PMS.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
  • Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
