I’ve put about 20,000 miles on them, mostly motorway driving. I'm a spirited driver, love taking bends fast, and these tires handle it all brilliantly! They’re superb in the rain, displacing water effortlessly and maintaining grip.

What is good?
What is bad?
After just 13,000 miles, the front tires are already showing major wear! They handle great in wet and dry conditions, pretty comfortable too, and not too loud. BUT, the wear is unacceptable. Had to switch to Michelin Latitude Sport 3 in hopes they'll last longer.

So, I got these Cntact 5 SUV tires on my Ford Focus ST3 (225/40 R18 W) and was initially quite happy with them. We bought the car with them already fitted, so when it came time for the MOT, I decided to replace the front tires with the same model. But, wow, less than 5,000 miles later, and the fronts are already at the legal limit! And the rears aren't far behind... My wife drives pretty gently, so the wear rate was a huge surprise. They gripped well in both dry and wet conditions, but seriously, wearing out this fast is just ridiculous. For the price, I'd expect them to last a lot longer.
