Continental Premium Contact 6 Reviews - Page 7

Thoughts on initial receipt of the tyres in 255/35/18 94Y size. 7-7.2 tread, seemingly the norm these days, so effectively only 5.4mm usable tread vs. 6.4mm at 8mm new. VERY wide longitudinal grooves - leaving not much 'rubber on the road'/contact patch compared to the CSC5 s ive previously used. (Or much rubber to wear through at all) Despite the publication reviews showing the best wear on test at date, having used PS4s a while back, also with very wide grooves and 7mm tread, which did not last well at all for a Michelin, I'm sceptical of how well these will last. Full review to follow in the coming weeks once I've got the winter wheels off and ive managed to run them in.

very good and soft tyre good handling far less noisy than my previous Bridgestone s001s but much less sporty. yes they grip well at both dry and wet road but they are too soft with stability problems when driving on "s" turns and high speed. slow response from the steering wheel. definitely NOT a sport tyre.

Repeat of another review, too soft. Tyres squirm and slip at the slightest road discrepancy. No confidence with these tyres if in icy conditions. At brand new, they slipped as if already badly worn and now 8k miles, they need replacing. Be glad to get rid of them for something more stable.

Excellent tires in every category apart from wear. (I guess it is the trade-off) From new(7,2mm) to wear indicator (3mm)it takes me dead on 22K miles, so 2 years in my driving style. Still I am buying it every two years as they are just superb.

Too soft. Awful value for money. Wheel spin without much effort. Fine if they were 50 quid each. So, given the price, terrible.
Very unhappy. Don't feel safe with speed or hard cornering. Don't trust them at all.

I drive on country roads and motorways...lots.
All over France.
Done 20000 miles in 6 months. They won't last long.

Really good tyres, excellent dry and wet grip, good steering feel, and not too noisy.

I use my f30 ied with stage1 220 hp. Really good in dry and short braking dist. Also good in wet braking dist but sometimes oversteer in wet cornering , lost control 1 or 2 times lucky catch the road quickly . Wear is ok modarete and comfortable tires . Drive about 22k km.

Great overall experience, awesome tyre modell for sport cars.

very good in dry and wet roads. very comfort also but a little noisy. we shall see about wear.

So far they are very good, better than my previous Assymetric 3s. But time will tell, most tyres are good in their first few miles.

Had these tyres a few months on my Audi A6 Avant Quattro which has very light steering and they improved the handling and directional stability of my car hugely compared to the Michelin CrossClimate+ tyres. The Contis are superb when cornering whereas the CrossClimate felt wallowy and difficult to keep in a straight line at speed. However, and it's a big however, the Contis are very noisy on the high number of poor road surfaces in the UK, whereas the CrossClimate+ were quiet and comfortable. Apart from on the best smooth road surfaces, I don't find the Contis comfortable and I'm almost constantly aware of the noise levels. It's a trade off between comfort and handling.

I replaced my Michelin PS3/4 with these tyres on my Honda Accord Type S and I must say that i am loving them. Compared to PS, for me they just handle better. Maybe even better dry and wet grip. Michelin was better on the initial turn in because it had stiffer and harder side walls. These tyres have thiner sides. But after that, oh boy, welcome to the world of grip. Maybe they are a bit more comfortable than the Pilots.
