The Continental name is one of the oldest from the Lincoln brand, with Continentals stretching all the way back to the 1930s. For model year ‘17, the Continental was in its tenth generation, on a platform that shared mechanical parts with the Ford Taurus. The ‘17 Continental was available with a choice of V6 engines (topping out with a 3.0L twin-turbo that developed 400 hp) that delivered 18 mpg city/27 mpg highway. For model year ‘17, the Lincoln Continental was available in Select, Reserve, Premiere and Black Label trim levels (with optional AWD).
For most people who shop 2017 Lincoln Continental tires, the best way to go is performance-oriented all season tires like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric A/S SCT (with 45k mile treadwear warranty), Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ (30k mile warranty) and Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season (45k mile warranty). If your driving habits are on the more spirited side, think about summer and ultra-high-performance tires like the Continental ContiSportContact 5P and Bridgestone Potenza Sport S-04 Pole Position. Just be mindful of the fact that summer and UHP tires use a softer, stickier tread formulation that will stiffen and lose traction in colder weather; these tires shouldn’t be used when it’s colder than about 45 degrees F.

Absolute Junk after 8k miles
These were fine for about 6 months and 4500 miles. After that, the ride quality steadily diminished. Now, after 1 year and 8k miles on a 2017 Lincoln Continental, ALL FOUR tires are failing catastrophically. The tread is separating from the main body of the tire, and cord is visible on the inside edge of all four tires, regardless of placement on the car. My mechanic showed us the issue while the car was on the lift, and warned us to keep it off the freeway. Zero response from Lexani so far. These tires are dangerous and should be avoided at all costs
