new Tuscan came with continental tires front tires wore out after 8500 miles very disappointing i was told they are made of soft rubber and not suitable for a heavy car

Usual Continental competence rather than excellence, but still a decent tire overall. If people think this tire is noisy, wait until they try a PS4 or Eagle F1 SuperSport. The Premium 6 is whisper quiet compared to those two in 225/40/18 size. In common with many modern assymetric tread patterns, tramlining and aquaplaning get significantly worse as you approach the 2mm wear limit (few people ever mention that), so I will be interested to see how the Premium 6 compares to the PS4 and F1 SS when it's almost spent. The F1 SS in particular is horrendous for tramlining when it's down to 3mm.

These tires came OE with my 2022 VW Polo and I have really mixed opinions about them Let's start off with the good They handle....amazing in dry conditions. Road feedback is superb and they do exactly what they need to. Too early for a wear review, but handling wise they handle amazing. Braking is top notch, wet handling is also actually pretty damn good. And the tires are actually quite comfy too Now the bad The road noise is some of the worst I've ever experienced in a tire. It's so bad that, even though they have only just over 6 000km on the set, I'm honestly considering changing them. That may not bother some people but it gets to me, especially that I do mostly highway and long trips It isn't necessarily a deal breaker, as the handling and feedback from the tire is great. But just something to definitely consider when buying the tire

Dry: They are very good tires for dry performance, good steering response and make the car feel more darty than with some previous UHP tires I've had.

Wet: Whilst good in the wet when new, as soon as these tires near 4 then 3mm their performance starts to dramatically reduce in both wet handling and braking as they seem to be less able to key into the surface. This is especially prevalent when it is cold too.

Wear: They wear reasonably well but I will now be switching to the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 for the promised wear benefits as these only lasted me 16k (about 10k of this I reckon is motorway so not wearing much at all) on the front axle of a hot hatch and when on the rear they barely wear.

Comfort: Whilst fairly comfortable they are defiantly not the most comfortable tire I have used and you can still feel a lot of the road surface through the steering wheel etc.

Noise: At 72dB which is the rating for my size they are quite loud but perfectly fine over smooth tarmac. However on uneven or rough road they are very loud and I wouldn't recommend for a quiet tire

Have them on for a year now... They are very good in the dry. They are very bad in the wet. Worst tires I ever had in the wet, had Premium Contact 5 before these, they were way better in the wet. With these in the wet the traction control and ABS work overtime. Strange for Continental... I have had Conti premium for the last 8 years, they were all great. These are scrap.

They have lasted under 15,000 miles of gentle driving on the front of the car (ie not the driving wheels, and I never turn the car steering when stationary). Other than that they are okay.

I wanted to try PC6 after a set of Falken Ziex ZE310. After a few hundred miles, I switched back to Falken. Falken seems to do a better job in the dry at the things that matter to me: cornering, braking, steering response. Maybe because of the soft beads and thin sidewalls of PC6, they didn't performed well at these.. at least in the size of 195/65r15 and with the factory Porsche 924S suspension and tire pressure setup (29-36psi) No clue about wet performance.. but according to the tests, PC6 is bad at aquaplanning as well..

Nice tires overall, although quite expensive. Pretty disconnected steering feel and soft sidewall. Good rim protection because of huge sidewall. Wet Performance decent with very high Aquaplaning resistance. Get smeery If the Temperaturen rise. OK wear Nett ones will probably be Goodyear Efficentgrip Performance. 2. All in all good tire for average drivers but expensive

I only drive 3000Km. Somehow I expected more but the grip is pretty average. At the very beginning, the tires were awful. They had no grip at all. Now over the time they have gained more grip.

I used PC6 for 30000 35000 km mostly on highways with high loads and high speeds. These tires perform very well when they are hot, especially on lateral forces. I never felt unsecure while turning at limits. Dry braking grip is very good while hot. Wet braking is good and handling is ok. After 15000km usage tires started to perform less on dusty tarmac, i never found sufficient grip at dusty city roads that's maybe because tires don't get hot at city driving. Although tires still have decent amount of thread on them i am planning to change them because of this cold tire grip problem at the mid to end life their life.

Very weak side wall, tire loses grip in corners when pushed very hard, 1,2,3 even 4th sometimes turning traction control on, on 100% dry tarmac with temps around 30°c, scary...sold them after 3000km

Change to Continental when I had a flat tire on my 60000 kms Michelin Primacy 4. In the remote area of Greece in the summer (where I had that incident) that was the only respectable tires available and I said to myself the heck lets give it a try. Only had Michelin before in my trusted friend that's my old Citroen C4 1.6 with 450.000 kms on and mainly in highways. I was amazed how well they performed in all weather conditions with speeds 130 to 160 kms per hour for hours and hours (only trouble with temperatures above 30oC where they are sloppy) I drive sometimes 2000 kms per trip. Now its time to replace them although there is no sign of malfunction on their performance or sign of deterioration, I just want to feel safe. Guess what ! I am going to buy new Continental again since Michelin are great (not so expensive) but not so trust worthy in the long run, yes Germans beat the competition on endurance and reliability (again).
