Continental doit avoir travaillé très dur sur ces pneus, car ils sont tout simplement géniaux. Les niveaux d'adhérence, le confort et la traction ont dépassé tous les autres pneus que j'ai eus. J'ai eu des michelin Pilot Super Sport, des Goodyear eagles et des Continental 5P sur la voiture. Je vais essayer les Michelin ps4, mais j'attends la sortie de la nouvelle version du super sport. Les routes du Royaume-Uni ne sont pas les meilleures mais le Conti 6S rend la voiture beaucoup plus confortable. Les Conti ont un côté sombre eux aussi, quand vous voulez vraiment pousser la voiture, ils sont puissants. Pas de drame ni aucune agitation dans des conditions humides ou sèches. Je peux voir pourquoi ces pneus ont battu le record en propulsion avant du Nürburgring. C'est le côté sombre de ces pneus. Fantastiques

Even more grip than the Michelin Pilot Super Sports they replaced, insane, especially in the wet.

I have new 65 plate c class with continentals fitted only done 6500 miles
rear tyres r down to wear indicators ;I am 64 years of age and drive as sutch
also am a mechanic and mot tester,car only 9 months old
will not b using continentals in future

Bought this tire to my Audi S8 V10 . The grip is perfect in all conditions , but I haven't tested the car on a track yet, so I don't know how they are responding during race driving . The tire smells good and you can really feel the quality when touching it. The rubber feels somewhat sticky.

You should go for 275/35/20 on the A/S8. 265 is an uncommon size and is more expansive than the 275's. It fits perfectly on the original 20x9 rims.

Continental must have worked really hard on these tires because they are simply brilliant. The levels of grip, comfort and traction have blown all other tires i have had away. I have had michelin pilot super sports, Goodyear eagles and Continental 5Ps on the car. I was going to try Michelin ps4s but waiting for the new version of the super sport to come out. The roads in the UK are not the best but the Conti 6S make the car alot more comfortable. The Contis have a dark side to them also, when you really want to push the car they are mighty. No drama no fuss in wet or dry conditions. I can see why these tires broke the FWD record at the Nurburgring. Thats the dark side to these tires. Awsome

Insane levels of grip

replaced SC5s, totally different tyre. Still not really a match for MPSS or PS4 in road feel but much improved, wet grip is off the charts although initial signs are that wear is going to be poor again (sadly much the same as sc5s), maybe this is better on a lighter car?

Bought as a replacement for Pirelli P Zeros these are a massive improvement on those. I've had Pilot super sports on previously too and would say the contis are a match for those if not more in all aspects except for maybe wear. They're quieter than I expected, fuel consumption has improved slightly but the grip these produce is nothing short of staggering. We've had an insane amount of rain in the last couple of days and a 300 mile motorway journey on what were essentially flooded roads was handled with ease. I'm so impressed with the grip and resistance to aquaplaning with these tyres. They aren't cheap but I got a reasonable price from tyres on the drive, I've had budgets before and that's not a road I'll be going down again. Overall they're brilliant and I'm extremely pleased I chose them.

So big caveat - this is a 20 mile first impression on a brand new tyre. Also posting as i switched from factory fit michelin primacy HP "run flats" and have been thinking about doing so for some time as the ride on the 530d M Sport on 19"s is pretty brutal in my view. I only do about 5000 miles a year of mixed driving - the 530d is the "trophy car" on the drive, and the day to day driving gets done in a rather good Focus Titanium X 180 we've had for 3 years or so.
Given cost for the run flats would have been much higher I decided to go for a great regular sports tyre and just fortunate that the Conti 6s had just launched. Tough to get hold of them based on current stock levels but managed to find a set in our local tyre place in Swanley, Kent.
First impression: ride quality is much improved. The key point with the non-run flats is they don't "bounce off" pot holes and the like in quite the same way. In terms of grip (and noting this is from a quick blast for 20 miles) the grip levels are phenomenal - the Michelin's still had life left in them although not loads (probably 4-5 months) but the difference is pretty astonishing. Wet grip is also good too. Frankly this tyre is designed for much more grunt than the 530d has and it shows. Noise doesn't seem too bad - was a bit worried based on specs that noise levels would be noticeably up. Not a huge diff to the Michelin's to be honest. Great start. More to follow....

First 15miles with tyres not run in driving on wet roads light rain. Miles split evenly between motorway/A road and winding B road with a short distance town driving.
Previously the recently purchased car had been fitted with four budget tyres and had generous tread levels. Why people scrimp on the main component that holds your vehicle on the road is beyond me. In my opinion purchasing such tyres for any car let alone fitting to a performance car should result in the mandatory wearing of a kamikaze head band and a man wearing a tall hat waving a red flag walking in front of the car. The steering with the budget tyres was unresponsive with very little feedback even in sport mode. The rear end had slipped out on three occasions while driving at sensible speeds so kicking the electronics in reducing the car to a near standstill with a red faced embarrassed driver. Hard acceleration in the wet promoted dashboard lights flashing and back end twitching.
First thoughts of the Continental SP6. Outstanding! Completely transformed the car. Road noise is acceptable, you are aware but it is not intrusive, I mean come on, it's a car not a hovercraft. Steering feedback I would estimate a 200% improvement, adjustments at all speeds is positive and confident. Hard acceleration from standstill in the wet is outstanding, no flicker from traction control lights or a hint of being anything other than sucked firmly down to the Tarmac. Hard late breaking can be performed with confidence and cornering ability simply a fantastic improvement with the car now able to handle hard acceleration out of the apex feeling like a 4x4 car should. It is important to remember that this is a large heavy powerful family saloon not a hot hatch but by fitting these tyres which I knew would be an improvement has allowed this car to unleash some serious power to the Tarmac.
In short I have another new car. After weighing up the pros and cons I opted for these summer tyres taking the gamble of a reasonably mild winter. Yes I've read all the hype for winter and all weather. I have first hand experience spending some time in Canada driving with winter tyres, they are outstanding. But having driven for some 27years in the UK in some very extreme conditions with summer tyres I take the option of sticking to summer tyres and simply adjusting my driving to suit the conditions. Simples. I will give these Continentals a few months and report on low temp, snow and ice with of course some dry weather comments. I hope this is of some help to any readers.
