Having run a pair Continental SC5s with a pair of Goodyear Efficient Grip Performances previously, I was keen to finally get back to running the same tires all round. The car was delivered with Dunlop SP01s which where fine, but got noisy & grip just disappeared. After damaging 2, I fitted the Goodyears which were much quieter, noticeably more economical, but the steering felt soft & wooly on turn-in even though both dry & wet grip were good. Then came the SC5s. They gripped even better than the Goodyears, weren't quite as quiet (but much better than the SP01s). However the handling was so much better & turn-in & steering feel were better than ever. Then I fitted Bilstein B6s with Eibach pros. Roadholding & handling were improved, but the ride was just a bit too stiff tbh. On 215/60/16 winters it was fine, so much so that I even thought of ditching the standard 17" wheels & running 16"s in summer too. Then Continental launch the Premium Contact 6. They sounded perfect, but I worried that they'd be too touring biased & handling & feel would suffer. How wrong could I be. They're every bit as sharp as the SC5s & grip as well too, but amazingly the ride quality is nothing short of astounding. The car's so much better to drive now with excellent feel & grip from the PC6 tires, & improved roadholding from the suspension, yet with minimal ride comfort compromise from standard. Even though the car has part time 4 wheel drive it has 210bhp & 430nm of torque, yet traction is excellent, even in the wet. I can't comment on wear as they're too new & similarly their only supposed weakness of aquaplaning hasn't been evident with full tread depth. They're by far & away the best tires I've ever driven on.

Can't say to much about wear rate, as they are new, but they are excellent in every other areas. Love the grip, both dry and wet, the road feedback and handling and that they are very quiet. I would definitely buy them again.

Replaced Toyo R32s on my mazda 3 with those tires , excellent in dry as well in wet , i can't comment on wear yet but handling/grip and feedback is good .

Have been driving on these tires for about a month. About 3t/km. They replaced the OE sport contact 5 on my car. Overall dry and wet grip is very good as well as the improved comfort compared to previous tires. The problem that I have with these tires is the vibration that I feel while driving at moderate speed 80km/h. They have been balanced twice but the problem is still present. I am pretty disappointed. Eventually I will be forced to buy a new set of tires and certainly not Continental. Maybe Michelin Pilot Sport 4 could solve this issue. Does anyone have similar problems. Would be glad to hear. Ps too early to comment the wear.

Review: Continental PremiumContact 6 sidewall is thinner and softer than Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Dunlop RT Maxx 2 or Pirelli P Zero tires, need to be careful with holes in road. Tire working surface edges is bit rounded, Michelin PS4 working surface edge is more facetted.

Test drive: PremiumContact 6 grip in dry and wet is excellent.

Greate tire for motorway or city.

First impesion:
very confortable tires
very stable at high speed
for the moment i tested in dry condition and they are doing great
without doubt i recomend this tires

Ready to test! Cheers GC
