Continental markets the tire as being for mid sized luxury cars and SUV - it's not quite in the class of the Pilot Alpin or Sottozeros for performance and not in the snow chomping class of Blizzaks and X-Ice. From what I can tell on their grid of products it's kinda between a Pilot Alpin and Latitude Alpin.
For that kind of tire I'm surprised how narrow the tread and how round the sidewall shape actually is in practice - it's rounder than the Blizzaks and X-Ices that I've used. It doesn't seem to affect performance as the steering response is
WAY better than on my Blizzaks (WS80), just an appearance preference.
