Continental Premium Contact 6 Reviews - Page 5

Given 100% while driving a Renault Latitude (225/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
I recently replaced to premiumcontact6 from michelin primacy3. My dad and I used primacy3 for 50000 miles and we know the limits for primacy3. However Continental surprised us with its wet and dry handling. In last 2000 miles I checked the limits of premiumcontact6 several times and it surprised me. It gives a strong confidence to driver which also can be dangerous. I totally recommend it.

This is second review, first one was at 2000 miles, this one at ~14000. Dry grip is okay, but not what I expected. But I'm impressed by the wet grip! There's almost no difference in speed I can go through the corner when wet compared to dry. It's pretty amazing. I like how easy it's to drive them fast. I would probably buy them again.

The Continental Premium Contact 6 are great tires in dry and wet as well. I mostly drive mountain roads and of course the spirited way to drive, at this pricetag I'm a bit disapointed of the mileage of about 6000 miles. I have an alfa romeo 159 TBI with 200hp lowered wit kw suspension, next summer season I am likely to try some other tyres. These are my first "performance oriented" tyres, therefore I can't compare them to other brands yet. I hope this review can provide any help and keep the gas burning.

Given 72% while driving a Honda Legend 3.5 V6 SH AWD (KB1) (245/45 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
All-round performance is very good. Dry and wet grip are great and although my car is heavy on the front the tyres are masking that very well. At the limit, there is obvious understeer, but always easily predictable, even on wet surfaces. But unfortunately the tyres can be very noisy. On average it is not bad, but on rough (asphalt) concrete there are lots of noise and vibrations delivered into the cabin and mainly into the steering wheel. I do not remember other tires were exhibiting the same behaviour. But the only direct comparison, I have on the same road is with my winter tires - Goodyear Vector 4Season Gen2 - which are a little noisier overall but are not so picky about surfaces.

Honestly can't fault it, best tyre I've had so far. Comfy but sporty, best for average spirited use IMO.

I never would've thought, that a simple tyre changecan make such a difference. These are the best tyres I've ever had on any of my cars. Compared to the previous Bridgestones (on this car), the Conti's are much sharper at turn-in, have more dependable traction in bends, use the brake force better, and in general feel much sportier and nimbler. Even with comfortably soft sidewalls. The wet grip is even better. i was very much surprised that I could take the same turns with almost the same speed as in the dry. The only negativity is the noisiness, which is still not unbearable, but is far not the most silent I've come across.

Everything is ok, handling is good, wet and dry grip is not bad but the noise is unbelievable!! very very very noisy tire. if you drive in town, it may not be a problem but in motorways you cant hear the music sound in the car.

Skoda (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,900 spirited miles
Compared to the cheaper rainsport 3s I had before these grip better in the dry and even the wet. Really really good reliable grip on all corners. As this is on a FWD car i greatly benefitted from having better front tyres. Old ones used to understeer even when brand new and these even when the shoulders are not happy, continues to grip around corners even enough to unstick the rears. (Falkon eco tyres at the same psi - lowest handbook says - had those for 11 months and they still good tread) Even when taking off, these grip so much better even in the wet with little to no wheelspin when launching compared to old ones that would just sit and spin. Comfort wise i can't really tell to be honest as at low speed this car is pretty harsh anyway. Noise is about the same on the motorway and fairly plush. They did wear pretty fast on certain points of the tyres (shoulders) but this will be down to the need of a alignment and my hard cornering. They do still grip well and I have put a fair few miles on these. The rest of the tyre is still got lots of tread left and even the shoulders have a fair bit left its just their wear compared to the rest.

Its not the comfiest of tires (noise). But of the other hand it works well, great stability in higher speeds and superb response from the wheels. Wet conditions performance is also solid. I can recommend this tire! Its either continental or Michelin.

Hey. B just wanted to share my opinion on Continental. Wearing it for two months now on my Mazda CX-5 ,19" wheels. It gives a car more control comparing to the stock Toyo prizes. It also gives better comfort, in terms of noise and bumps handling. It also definitely better on old stone roads which we have a lot in Ukraine. Comparing with my winter Bridgestone Blizak Dm-v1, Conti is a bit more noisy. I was choosing between this and Michelin PS4, And decided to go with this one, since had ContiPremiumContact2 on my Ford Focus 8 years ago and it was super comfort. Also, since I own an SUV, it gives a bit today l sport to my sporty SUV.

Given 89% while driving a Mercedes Benz C200 CDI Sport (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 31,944 average miles
The Continental Premium Contact 6 (225/45/R17 94Y) have been on my Mercedes-Benz C200 CDI Avantgarde for around 31944 miles (51410km). The rear tyres have been replaced after 25840 miles (41586km). I've driven the car on every type of road including racetracks. The tyres have a lot of grip in dry and wet conditions. They give very good feedback but they're not the most comfortable tyres. You can feel every little bump or uneven surface of the road you're driving on. These tyres are also a little bit noisy. But I would definitely buy them again!

Bought 4 new tyres, front two lasted one year approx 8k miles. For tyres this expensive would've expected to last a little longer. Driving was mostly motorway driving so to wear that bad would not buy again.
