Something strange happened to me ! I've had a real bad experience with Conti Premiumcontact tyres on one of my cars.
Now I've bought myself another user car that had small wheels on it, so I looked for some nice rimms. I found something that I liked and there were Continental SportContact 2 tyres on them, all from a different fabrication date going from 2004 till 2007. So my expectations were very low.
The simple fact that all four the tyres were also down to less then 3 mm made me realize that the tyres were probably worthless.
So I 've put the rimms on the car and took it for a ride, got the presure right and... they're incredible ! Dry grip is great, I drove the car (a 1470 kg PT Cruiser) twice around a big roundabout to make the tyres break loose, but it didn't happen !
Even today on wet roads there was no problem with grip ! there's only some road noise, but what do you expect from tyres almost to the minimum ?
So I gave wear 5 points cause I couldn't tell how they wear, but discovered that one Conti is not as the other. I would definitly consider these for a next buy.
