I had tried the Continental Terrain Contact AT on my '16 Ram 1500 4wd. I later switched them to my wife's '14 Ram 1500 4wd. Both of us liked the tire. But my wife traded in her 1500 for a truck very much like yours. An '18 Ram 2500 Crewcab 4wd 6.7L. Her driving style is very rough on tires. And I switched her truck from Firstone Trashforce AT to the General APT tires. After a while her truck seemed to be sensitive to wheel balancing. But I found the issue was really the steering. The nut on the steering arm would come loose. And was the cause of a recall. The dealer retorque solution did not last. But I put on a steering brace, which fixed everything! And a few months later, I did go a step further and add Centramatic wheel balancers. I did upgrade the brake pads to Carbon/Ceramic and the shocks to Eibach in the front and Bilstein 5100's in the back. Within the 1st month of ownership. She gave me a lot of grief for replacing parts on a brand new truck. But later acknowledged that there was a noticeable improvement with the truck. Same story when I changed the transmission oil pan in 2020. To a deeper, higher capacity aluminum pan. She does like how her truck drives much nicer than when new. And is actually looking forward to the installation of the Bank's Monster Ram Intake. Due to a friend's truck having the nut and bolt from the stock grid heater killing the engine. Cost $15k for a new engine. The 1k cost of the Bank's parts, seem inexpensive to her.

I'm just over 30k miles on my Terraincontact A/T (2008 Sequoia). Also tow travel trailer and have taken every advantage to getting the vehicle off of hard ball, i.e. snow, gravel, dirt and these tires are great. Treadwear is lasting a lot longer than I anticipated. The tires even still have vent spews on the sides. The only problem with these tires so far, is that I'll have to wait for FOREVER to get a new set or change them up and try something else lol. Great tire! Great review!

@@mercedesbenzs600bash I can't speak for ice a whole lot, my experience in snow was 4-5 inches of snow on the roads that Oklahoma doesn't treat. So it turned to packed snow and eventually ice for a few days before it melted. In those conditions however, it handled perfectly. Of course I wouldn't compared it to a dedicated snow tire... or even a 3 peak mountain tire. But for an A/T I was pleasantly surprised and didn't have any concerns for being able to drive safely out there.

Hey this is great info. I Have a Subaru Ascent that I’ve purchased wheels and originally the BFGoodrich Trail Terrain’s. Unfortunately, I received a call back that those tires were not available until September. The sales rep had recommended these Continentals. I really liked the look of the BFGoodrich Trail terrains. I’ve seen these continental tires mostly on pickup trucks. So I’m just unsure. We will mostly be doing highway, with some mountain driving to the snow in winter. A dirt road here and there. Thanks!

Great reviews! You appear to have tons of experience with the TerrainContact A/T, so can you give an explanation why I see a handful of reports from people that these tires are hard to balance? Some people have major problems with the balance from the beginning, others after some tread wear. I love everything I see about these tires and I want to buy them, but I am concerned about the balance issues because I'm going to be doing a lot of highway driving for hiking trips to the mountains, and would like to know how these would do on those long lone stretches of highway 80mph+. I'm looking for a good AT or HT tire that has less chance of vibration at high speed. Because of this I'm also considering the Vredestein Pinza AT which comes in 2nd on road grip tests behind the TerrainContact, and people say the Pinza tends to balance very well.

The Continentals have a nicer feel on my Ram 1500 4wd 3.0L. But I currently run the General APT tires. Because of Oregon being picky about snow tires. Which is silly, since I have had General HTS and HTS-60 tires along with Continental LX20 tires run in very deep snow. In fact, in one situation the snow was going over the hood of my '03 4wd Ford Explorer. Handled well on icy roads too. I live in Quartz Hill, CA. We don't see snow every year. But Dec 28, 2008 was a bad storm that made travel difficult for a week. But I drove over the mountains on a road to Green Valley. that was not closed. I currently run the APT tire on my pickup. I have only required 4wd once. When I pulled of the road into a turnout on US-50 near Monarch Pass in Colorado. Highway snow or ice have not been a problem. The truck has a Snug Top camper shell equiped for overlanding, and a LSD differential though.

So I've got a 19 Ram 2500 and I tow a camper also. I just bought Goodyear Ultraterrains.....and I'm not impressed. Seem to be very soft and the front wanders on the highway. Not to mention, they're considerably louder than the firestones. I haven't towed my camper yet with them....but given how soft the front tires feel, I'm not expecting good results on the handling when I'm loaded. These don't look as agressive as the Ultraterrains, so I'm hoping for a better all around experience. In your opinion, do you think they'll be more quiet? I would assume you wouldn't have kept them this long if they didn't perform well when towing. Thanks in advance for your input.

Was looking for something that has more shoulder tread which these are apparently a good replacement, but the balance issue is a major concern for me. It has been hard enough to keep the Michelin's balanced .I wonder if these are worse than the Michelin's? I did have the roadforce balanced at Discount last time and they did a great job. Just don't want something that is worse. I am on the fence now!
