Questions and Answers for the Continental UltraContact UC6

2017-08-17 - Hi there. What is the recommended tire pressure for uc6 205/50 R16. Thank you.

The tire pressure for the Continental UltraContact UC6 is vehicle and load specific. The correct tire pressure for your vehicle can usually be found on a sticker in the door shut of the driver's door, or in the manufacturer's handbook.


2019-03-14 - I am looking for the best performance tire in a 195 65 15 for a road race austin healey 3000. I was about to buy continental premium contact 5 when I was told that the ultra contact 6 is a far superior tire. He said that was based on your web site. Yet you have not done any testing. Only comments from people with cars like a toyota corolla. So how can you possible give this tire such a high score.

The Continental UltraContact range is for the American market and not available in the UK, so if you were looking at the Premium Contact 5 which is a European pattern, it's unlikely you will be able to purchase both.


2020-12-16 - what is Road Feedback on tests list .

Road feedback is how the tire handles when driving


2021-09-24 - Hi What is the energy label for Continental ultra contact UC6 2021 205/55 /R16 .

Sorry, I don't have that data on file, it should be on the Continental website though :)


2022-03-08 - how much is the treadwear/traction and temperature of the ultracontact uc6? .

That depends on the size, data can be found on the Continental website.


2023-04-30 - Is the UC6 good for a family use, town only, 10,000km/year average, on a citroën c4 2006 (5-door hatchback) ? .

The UltraContact 6 would be fine for you, however it's worth noting the UC6 is a longer lasting tire, and with your low mileage it might age out before it wears out. If available in your region I would opt for the Continental PremiumContact 7 for the slightly improved wet performance.


2023-08-28 - Hi, could you please compare it to primacy 4 on 205/55/16 my main priority is comfort and wear. .

Continental seem to be promoting the UltraContact range more now so there's a chance I'll be able to test it next year, or if not, hopefully another test which will get databased on Tire Reviews will have it in.


2023-09-30 - Are Continental UltraContact UC6 directional tires?.

The Continental UltraContact UC6 is an asymmetric tire.

Top 3 Continental UltraContact UC6 Reviews

Given 90% while driving a Mazda Mazda2 (185/55 R16 V) on mostly motorways for 0 average miles
The difference between Dunlop Enasave Ec 300 and Continental UC6 is big. I can go 100kph without realizing it with my Mazda 2 sedan. I find that the dry and wet grip of the tire is very good if compared to my original stock Dunlop tire. I'm not sure about the wear rate as i've just fitted the tire for only 2 months. UC 6 might not have the same comfort level with the CC6 but for a tire meant for handling and griping, i find it surprisingly comfortable. The downside of the tire is that it costs me a fortune even though it was made in Malaysia , my own country, the price shouldn't be setting that high. Overall i would recommend UC 6 to those who wish to seek for good handling and comfort if one dont wish to use sport tires .
