My new 2010 Renault Scenic was initially fitted with contact 2 XL . I found that the tyres wore quicker than I initially expected but accepted this as they performed well. When Renault changed the tyre on later models the replacement cost and importing time increased as the demand drop..
I contacted Continental at Coventry and they were very helpful when I had to replace two tyres quickly and they reserved an allocation on a boat at sea which was good service and also told me that another of their tyres was suitable and cheaper because they fitted a Ford van where sales volumes were higher.
I have remained with Continental but have moved to Contact 5 extra load version on my current replacements with the option to increase fron pressures up to 38lbs pressure to reduce wear but this will make a harder ride.
I average under 20,000 miles per tyre
