Seems like a good all round tire with a tread capable of dealing well with icy and muddy conditions. But for anyone who has suffered from neck injuries this is not the best option as the tread tends to grapple with the road causing noise and uncomfortable vibration. Having tried this for a week I returned to Dunlop Sport SP 01 which gives a much smoother ride. The tread is not very deep so might not last long.

These tires are pretty good regarding grip, handling and ride. However, the wear on these are really poor. I no longer do loads of miles - mainly pottering around and a few motorway journeys (no hard driving) a year, so was shocked they were down to 3mm all round after only 9000 miles. At £100 each that is poor value. Unfortunately, this is not a popular size, so I am restricted to only Dunlops, Conti's, Falkens, Yokohamas or budget.

These tires were fitted as standard to BMW 5GT I do 90% motorway miles (my colleague has/does the same) the tires were quite frankly useless rear tires were at legal limit at 9,000 miles and fronts at 14,000!. Previously I had achieved 27,000 rear and 52,000 fronts with Dunlop Sport Maxx with a 520D Touring. BMW were also surprised and sent them to Continental who dismissed as heavy right foot! We run a total of 4 x BMW 5GT's and other 2 cars were delivered with Pirelli got 20,000 + on rears. At £300 a tire on 4 cars Continental are a non starter we will take our business elsewhere.

The tires were fitted at the front of FWD car all the time. The grip level was very good in dry and wet, the drive was fairly quiet and with comfortable ride on mostly motorway journeys all year round. However, the tires didn't last as long as Bridgestone ER300 Turanza - 25% to 30% shorter mileage.

I put this tire with size of 185/55R16 on my Toyota Vios 1.5 litre 2011 model.
The grip on road was perfect but the comfort was bad. I think this tire may make by hard compound rubber.

Overall satisfaction was above expect.

Driving mostly on higway the tire was ok but within the city the tire is very noisy and bad on gripp regarding the weather I had to be very careful, Almost 2 and a half years later the tire is totally bad the ABS is working all the time and I have only 20.000 kms.

THE tires are fitted to a clio 1.5dci, they have covered 20000mls and are on 6mm. they have proved to be quiet, comfortable, inspire confidence both in the dry and asspecialy in the wet. During last winter they proved to be superb(wife prefered the clio to my 4x4)in the snow.Cant speak to highly of these tires.

Side wear

Had these put on My Golf Mk4 GTTDI in July.

5000 miles in and the Tires are going very well indeed.

Fuel economy has improved 20% and dry grip is fantastic compared to the pirellis I had before.

These came fitted as standard on my Peugeot 206 when I bought it new in April 2006. 48,000 miles later I just replaced them all a couple of months ago, the tread measurements on the removed tires was just down to 2mm across the tread, which is obviously still legal but the advised level for change.
When it last went in for a service & MOT the mechanic was amazed they were still the original tires and that they were still legal.
I don't think you can argue with that kind of wear.
I replaced them with Barum Bravuris 2, primarily due to cost, but these are also made by Continental I believe, so I am hoping for good results from these too.

After driving the Premium Contact 2s on my car for about 10k miles around all seasons in the south east of the UK I am very impressed. Very quiet, comfortable and grippy tires at most conditions. Special mention is deserved for the way these handle in the wet and their inability to let go regardless of the abuse they were subjected to. In that particular size they are also not very expensive (I paid £69 a corner) and a great improvement to any car.

Grip in wet and dry conditions is ok but the tires on the front of my Yaris 1.4D T-Spirit are down to 3mm after just 15,000 miles, so likely to be low mileage out of them.
