Had these on my new Audi A4 - only a 2L TDI FWD, but replaced front set after 14000 miles. 11000 miles later with some Pirelli P-Zeros and the same! Still have the original set of Continentals on the rear, though these need replacing asap!

The tires were awful IMHO. I know they have a hard time on this car due to the heavy front, but the tyres suffered from massive understeer with a high tendency to washing out. In the wet it was risky because you has so much understeer and lack of progresiveness that you had to adjust carefully your speed to avoid going to a ditch. Straightline traction was good, though. Now with GY F1 Assym 5 I have much better grip and feeling. Front tyres were done with 4400miles, but that's usual.

Overall I have found these tyres ok. I have never had a problem with traction wet or dry with my Jaguar XF S v6 D Sportbrake and have found them reasonably comfortable and responsive. I would say they are fairly noisy at a cruise and I’m not particularly delighted with the wear rate. I have had them on for 13,000 miles on the rear and am now replacing for Michelin pilot sport 4S which I hope will last longer.

This tyre is more suited for comfort than performance. Sadly Continental don't make the Sport contact in my size so i chose these. Grip is good in wet and dry although they do struggle when the temperature drops below 4 degrees celsius. My biggest gripe with these tyres is they lack any feel and aren't that progressive when on the limit. I will not buy them again when the time comes to replace them.

Hi all, iv always bought conti's as they grip brilliant with my driving .. lol .. had to do this post as iv just bought a BMW 330d e93 and put conti's on the rear like 2,000 mes ago and the black chili tech is amazing even in the wet .. feather but keep pushing on the throttle and she grips real well.. anyway .. snow is coming so bought a new set of unrated snow tyres ( like to be different .. to help a company out and all that ) the tyre fitter removed the conti's and there is a 12-14" crack around the inner tyre wall !! Tyre pressure correct and no curbing or outer wall damage .. Iv messaged continental to ask for advice etc ( pending ) anyone else found this issue ? Quiet scary hey ...

Dry grip excellent. Wet grip possibly excellent, but always felt slightly nervous at high speed in the wet on motorways on low-profile rear tyres. Wear rate appalling: 8,560 miles on rear tyres, compared with 15,000 on Dunlop SP01s, 12,000 on Dunlop SportMaxx, and 18,500 on Dunlop SP9000. Same car, same driving style

Given 80% while driving a SEAT Leon Cupra ST 290 (FWD) (235/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
The SC6 came stock on my 2016 Leon ST Cupra and I was very pleased by its performance. Especially the wet grip was fabulous. Dry grip is fine as well but not as good as for example Michelin PS2 which I had on the car before. After 2 Laps on the Nordschleife the grip got noticeably weaker. The Conti shines with overall performance and comfort which is very quiet and subtle. Many people say the SC6 wears down very quick but I can't second that, they did 2 seasons of summer just like every other tire I had before and after.

Given 52% while driving a Mercedes Benz C63 AMG (265/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 200 spirited miles
Very comfortable - Poor performance Before using the tyres, I was told Continental Sport Contact 6's are not premium tyres, I now agree with the statement. The tyres dry grip was sufficient, progressive and there was sufficient road feedback to communicate when the tyre was at the limit. However compared to a PS4, PS4s, Potenza S007, there is less grip and much less feedback. The tyre sidewall feels overly soft and the tyre moves around too much under load. The treadblock feels very soft and wobbly compared to a PS4 or even a Dunlop SportMaxx RT2, this makes it hard to precisely place the car on track or spirited driving. The tyre is very comfortable and quiet for a 'sport' tyre.

This is my 2nd set of Continental CSC6. Totally love the amount of grip these tyres provide and Honda OE these tyres for a good reason on the FK8R. The steering feels so precise and spot on during dry. However, these tyres lasted way shorter than any other tyres that I've ever used.

Fantastic tyre in the dry, yet to find the limit In corners and gives strong confident braking. Okay in the summer wet >7c but understeers and slides in winter wet

Given 88% while driving a Ford Focus ST250 (235/40 R18) on mostly motorways for 3,500 spirited miles
First experience with the Contis, switching from the Nankang NS-2 which I though where a really good fit for my Focus ST250. Having moved from the Nankangs to the Contis, I am extremely impressed by the dry grip so far. Same roads I usually push my car saw the Contis lose grip later or at all. Can't talk about wet grip and neither can I say anything about the wear, have had them for about 5-6000 KM so far and can't really say the wear is that bad. We'll see though, as they have rather poor wear rating which I'm fine with if it means mega levels of grip. Feedback is very good, better than the Nankangs I'd say, but all of this might also be due to the fact that they're brand new and being compared to mid life rubber. Comfort is ax expected, I drive on 235/40/r18 and they perform as expected, can't fault them. On par with the Nankangs, I'd say, though I don't look at comfort all that much as I drive on generally good roads. I shoould also say the Nankangs were used with dodgy shock absorbers which caused massive uneven wear on the tyre width, not length(not related to geometry). Contis have been on the car at the same time with new shocks and all 4 corners geometry, so there's that, and are nitrous filled instead of air. Buy again? If they're good for 2 summers they are a definite buy again tyre. I do around 20K km/summer.

Given 63% while driving a Audi Q5 (225/45 R20) on mostly town for 6,000 average miles
Dry grip is great, comparable with Michelin LS3 SUV. Wet is so so tho, had ABS on and aquaplane at 60km turning right when it was a month old , never happened on F1A3 SUV doing the same turn, nor LS3. Wear on this is horrendous , much worse than the above 2 sets I had. Its quieter than the other 2, which was the initial reason of purchase, but the wear is so bad its just not worth it.
