Last week, we attended Canadian Tire’s Spring Media Driving event to put the Continental Tires TrueContact all-season tire through its paces. The weather at Ontario Place was a balmy 15 degrees with nary a cloud in sight. In other words, a perfect day to make the switch from winter tires to all-season/summer tires.
In order to test any tire, it’s always best to have several “real-world” scenarios set up. Canadian Tire set up a slalom course, a pothole simulator, and a wet emergency braking course for us to drive through in their provided fleet of Audi A4s wearing the Continental TrueContact all-seasons and a comparison fleet of A4s wearing their Tier 1 competitor’s tires.
Scroll down for our rundown of the day and our impressions and review of the TrueContact.
