Ive had the terrain contact AT for about 10,000 miles. The sidewalls are a little soft and a couple extra psi took care of that. We tow some with them, so they see real use. This is the first AT I’ve owned that still handles rain in a RWD vehicle as good as they did on day 1. And they are quiet. And I’ve nailed a rock or two and they’ve held up. There‘a mild block shedding from a few miles of hard rock terrain. they are less noisy than Michelin LTX I’ve known before.
the only limitations id say for now is this: they are barely an AT. They are the lightest of all the ATs listed on tire rack, which makes them more compliant on the hwy but I’d argue less sturdy if you’re doing true off road use. Their tread pattern is pretty mild.
I think the rubber is a bit soft, but I prefer that. They dig in if you’ve got to get on the brakes or scoot out into traffic. hands down I’ll take them over Michelin.
BUT, I’m not a big fan of their other tires. I’ve known of two sets in my family, other conti offerings, which blew the sidewalls prematurely. One gave some warning with a big blister, the other just went spectacularly on the highway.
