| dmssouthern's Full Review: Continental Touring CH95 Passenger/Performance Tir... |
This is a good tire! I wish I would have bought another set of these tires instead of buying some cheaper "Fuzion HRIs".
These tires handle very well for a All-Season tire and they also handle well in the rain. As a matter of fact, Consumer Reports rated them high in both handling and resistance to Hydroplaning, which is the main reason I bought them. Another reason I bought them was the low to mid-level price.
As a direct comparison, I recently replaced a set of these CH95s with a set of "Fuzion HRIs" on my 97 Maxima. I should have used my ride guarantee to switch them out, but I got busy and didn't make it back to the shop before the mileage limit bit me. The Fuzions ride a little smoother, but they handle far worse and they look like a "meaty" SUV tire compared to the smooth looking CH95s.
The only drawback I had was the fact that they didn't last as long as I had hoped (40,000k with sensible driving), but that is acceptable given the positives of this tire.
Oh yeah, the tire shop told me that these are standard on BMW 3-series. I didn't really believe him, but sure enough, I checked into it and these tires are/were OEM tires on the 3-series (at least at the time I bought mine).
