sprocket1200 is on a distinguished road
continental (and tirerack, etc) all have this tire listed as a passenger car tire. why did they ever sell it to you as a SUV tire? of course it can't hold up to the weight. most of their DWS tires are not rated for the weight anyway. they do make one SUV tire, not much choice there.

consumer reports says they only have fair tread life. after reading their website, they talk about winter and snow performance, and their 'DWS' indicator. complete BS.

this is not a winter tire and is now winter rated. the DWS indicator simply shows you the depth of tread, no magic here. they would be dangerous at any winter temperature since they do not have a winter compound in them. just another reason i will never buy a continental tire!
