Continental ProContact TX All‑Season Touring Tire
Built for everyday confidence, the Continental ProContact TX delivers a composed ride, dependable traction, and a responsive feel from a premium all-season touring tire. It is tuned for comfort and stability, with an all-season compound and tread pattern that channels water, shortens wet stops, and maintains grip across changing temperatures. Whether you're commuting or stacking up highway miles, it keeps noise low and handling predictable, which makes it a smart upgrade or OE match for many sedans and crossovers.
Key Features of the ProContact TX
The ProContact TX balances comfort and control. Its all-season rubber stays pliable across a wide temperature range, and multiple circumferential grooves move water away to resist hydroplaning. Dense siping and carefully angled tread blocks add wet and light-snow bite without giving up block stiffness for stable cornering. An optimized shoulder profile supports even wear and precise steering. Select OE sizes may add noise-reducing foam or self-sealing construction to further refine the ride.
Year‑Round Performance You Can Feel
In the dry, the ProContact TX feels steady and predictable, so lane changes and highway cruising come easy. In rain, wide channels and dense siping help clear water and preserve braking grip. In light snow and cold temps, its compound and fine biting edges provide usable traction for typical dustings. For frequent deep snow or prolonged ice, a winter tire is still the safer pick.
Sizes, Specs & Fitment Guide
The ProContact TX comes in a broad mix of car and crossover fitments, including 185/65R15, 205/55R16, 215/50R17, 225/65R17, 225/60R18, and select 19 to 20 inch options on higher trims. Many sizes are OE tuned for specific models, which can change ride and steering feel. Always confirm size, load index, and speed rating on your driver-side door-jamb label or in the owner's manual. If your vehicle uses a staggered or run-flat setup, match the original specs at all positions.
Price, Warranty & Value
Pricing varies by size, speed rating, and OE specification. Many sizes carry up to a 65,000 mile limited treadwear warranty, but check your exact fitment for details. Larger diameters and specialized OE variants typically cost more. You will get the most value by keeping pressures set to spec, rotating every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, and maintaining proper alignment. If low cabin noise, balanced all-season traction, and predictable wear are high on your list, the ProContact TX is a strong value for daily driving.
Real‑World Reviews: What Drivers Say
Drivers often call out the ProContact TX for its quiet ride, settled highway manners, and confident wet braking. Steering feel stays consistent, and road noise tends to remain low as the tire wears. Like most all-season touring tires, light-snow traction is serviceable, but it is not a substitute for a winter tire in harsh climates. For a calm and predictable daily drive, many owners rate it a solid OE match or replacement.
ProContact TX vs Alternatives
Compared with sport-leaning all-season models, the ProContact TX puts ride comfort, low noise, and consistent everyday grip first. Versus Continental's aftermarket touring lines, it often reflects OE tuning for comfort and efficiency, while other lines may emphasize longer tread life or extra wet grip. Against premium rivals from brands like Michelin or Bridgestone, the best fit comes down to priorities. If you want quietness and an OE style road feel, the ProContact TX is a compelling choice.
Run‑Flat, Noise‑Dampening & Self‑Sealing Options
Select ProContact TX sizes may include Continental SSR run-flat construction, ContiSilent foam to reduce cabin noise, or ContiSeal to help close certain tread punctures. These features are size and vehicle specific and appear most often on OE fitments. Check sidewall markings and product details to confirm whether your size includes them. If you are replacing a factory run-flat, match the run-flat specification and consult your vehicle maker before switching to a non run-flat.
Care, Rotation & Installation Tips
Good maintenance keeps the ProContact TX at its best. Set pressures to the driver-side door-jamb label, not the tire sidewall. Rotate every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or per your owner's manual to promote even wear, and schedule an alignment if you notice edge wear or a pull. Replace tires at 2/32 in remaining tread, sooner if you drive often in rain or snow. When installing, match load index and speed rating to OE specs, and replace in full sets or axle pairs to preserve handling balance.
