335/45 18 Tyre Review Highlights

Continental Eco Contact 5 rated 44% while driving a Citroën DS5 2.0 Hdi
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 average miles
Came nearly new on my second hand DS5 - All other corners running Nexens. Probably not the tyres fault, however due to the funky tread pattern it was causing pulling when high-speed cruising, braking and accellerating - so had to put it on the back.

Admittedly the suspension setup on the DS5 is known for being a little twitchy, however noticeably when the Continental was on the outside (it was on the off-side right, so when turning left and the weight was over it) it would step out if there was any sort of deformity in the road surface.

Also, very uneven wear despite being at the recommended pressures. Car had an alignment as I'd spotted the wear starting to happen (alignment was fine apparently) but i'd say around 12,000 miles on it and it was spent down to the wear bars, right on the widest part of the centre of the tread pattern.

Probably perform better when fitted all round, but replacing with a Nexen as per the others the car feels so much better. I certainly don't recommend it on it's own.
