Fitted PremiumContact 6s to my mapped Yeti 170tdi 4x4 having run Sportcontact 5s on it previously, & because they really impressed by how much they improved the car after Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance & Dunlop SP01 tires. The Yeti also has Eibach springs & Bilstein dampers fitted so dynamically is pretty impressive & will keep any decent warm hatch honest. Subjectively it's also a better car than my much newer (albeit quicker) Audi S3, so it deserves & can make use of good tires. The Premium Contact 6s have noticeably better ride quality over significant bumps than the SC5, yet still retained 95% of that tire's brilliant subjective feel. Wet & dry grip were really impressive, & it's only suffered any performance drop off once below about 2.5mm of tread. Their only slightly weakness is aquaplaining resistance especially later in life & when compared to a premium new winter tire, but that's probably unfair as they have deeper tread from new than any summer tire anyway. Other than that the PremiumContact 6 has been a very impressive tire. Regretting buying Michelin PS4 tires for my S3 now, wish I'd put these on the S3 instead. Wear wise, the PC6 has outlasted the SC5 as they've done around 30K miles in total. Would definitely highly recommend & buy again.
