Great product, a pleasure to use.

I drive mostly on the highway, in the city and on bad roads I almost never have to - it keeps the trajectory perfectly on the highway, it doesn’t blow away in high-speed turns, emergency braking is 5+. Minor bumps swallow perfectly.
Sometimes one gets the feeling that the car was more dynamic on old tires.
It is visually noticeable how much wider / higher the size of 205x55 is for the continental than for the same hankook

Pros

Compared to 11 year old hankooks - divine) The hook is such that even with a very sharp start, the drive wheels do not slip in 90% of cases. I almost don’t notice the rut, I didn’t notice hydroplaning. There is some noise, but its level as a whole does not bring discomfort. Maybe it's the hub already making noise - it's not clear . Rulitsya excellent, fairly soft rubber.

Cons

A very soft sidewall design, at a nominal (Volvo s60, tire size 205x55x16) pressure recommended by the auto manufacturer of 2.3bar, the wheels look clearly deflated, and are also felt, as a result, the front is now 2.5, the rear is 2.4 and the roll is better and the consumption has dropped a little.
