The set of Continental ContiSport Contact 5 SSR tires on my wife's 2018 Mercedes C300 has set a new record for me. They are 225/40R19 on the front @ $310 each and 255/35R19 on the rear @ $270 each (if I chose to replace them with the same POS tires--which I will not). I plan to replace them with Goodyear (similar to those on my AMG) or Pirelli.
Her car is 1 year and 1 month old with 13,103 miles on it and here are the tread depths:
RF = 4/32"
LF = 3/32"
LR = 2/32"
RR = 1/32"
For clarity, there are no alignment or mechanical issues with the car and my wife is certainly not a Maria Andretti with her driving style. This is by far the worst performance and durability I have ever experienced on any tire in any price range. The Continentals stole the old record from a set of OEM Michelin Primacy's in 235/55R17 on the 2006 Hyundai Azera we previously owned.
