Just curious if anyone has tried these tires. If so, what'd you think of them? What size did you get? How was traction in wet and dry? Tread wear? Ride Comfort and noice?

Thanks for the input!

PS - If you haven't used them but you know anything about the tire or Continental themselves (their reputation, quality, etc.), I would most grateful for any enlightenment you could provide. Thanks again!

Nobody has tried these? I've found reviews online and it seems to be a good tire but I was just wondering if anyone here has had personal experience with them...

i went to a mercedes experience thing where they let you drive some of the models ( in this instance all c-class models) last summer.
most fun i had that day was riding with a professional driving instructor as he pushed a c32 around a tight wet handling course. those c32s were wearing the contis. not a bad tire. only reservation i would have with them is that they seem to break away very quickly near their limit without much notice. however, i doubt one will be doing the same in their xB or xA. overall, a very good tire.

Hey thanks for all the info guys! I think I'm gonna stick to getting these on my xB.

toybox1 - what model toyo's all season (semi-equivalent to continental cec's) tire would you be referring to/recommend? And what's the tread wear like on it? (I mean like...what's the average miles and all?)

Avus - heheh yeah I'm not planning on doing too much extreme driving in my xB. I'm just looking for a good, long lasting tire with good grip in wet, dry, and the ever rare ice (it is texas after all...).
