Researching Continental PrpContac TX Tires

Today, seen tire inscription ProContac tx missing the tx suffix. So checking it.

Are you saying this is the Continental on the Mavericks? Or is the one on the Mavericks a cheap low grade poor version of it? What's your point?

My point is “Are they good tires for a truck?” The “tx“ was inscription that caught my eyes. Looking at them, for first time, I want to learn more about them, I.e. traction, wear mileage, load capacity.

Have Continental on wife’s Escape. Good tires there, similar to what one might get on BMWs, Mercedes, high end vehicles. I research these before buying. The OEM tires that was on the Escape was Michelin. Terrible ….rough, noisy, poor wear.

Have a good day.

I know Continental does make some good tires. From what I've heard on this forum, the OEM equipped Maverick Pro Contact is not one of them. So..., I guess you're talking about a different Pro Contact. Maybe someone else has real world experience with them.

It's missing the TX? Mine says ProContact "TX". It's the lightest tire on the market. Meaning its fuel efficient, easy on the suspension and axles. They'll only last 'till 40k if you drive easy though.

Actually not missing the TX. What I meant to say was last week I was reading tire info, and missed seeing the TX after the Prp Contact inscription.

Thanks for the info about these tires. What I was looking for, seen that Continental has additional suffixes, but little info about each class in terms of mileage, wear, loads, etc.

Our Escape with OEM tires did Not perform well, worn soon, noisy. I brought Continental tires, those found on BMW, Mercedes, and so far happy with these.

It seems 90% of new cars these days come with the terrible ProContact tires. Continental must be the cheapest OEM supplier these days, twenty years ago the Goodyear LS use to come on every car. Every new car I have bought in the last 13 years came with the ProContact and I replaced them right away.

I do believe the OEM tires installed at new are not really the same tire you get if you buy the same model after market. It seems most OEM tires are made cheaper and not last a normal length of time. Some people can get 40k, whiles others only get 18k. Continental has tarnished their image by doing the above. I'm afraid Michelin could end up the same way.

A good place to start researching certain tires is Tire rack even if you're not buying tires from them. They do testing on some of the tires and have videos and they list the specs of the tires they sell.
