Like premiumcontact 5, excellent traction. It slows down like a glove, many times saving from a blow with "wild" draftsmen. They write that hydroplaning is worse than the previous version. I can’t say for sure, but it flies in puddles less than 1 cm deep, as if there were no puddles. Like many who went to 5, they noticed that it was much noisier, changed their shoes to winter vikingcontact 7 and there was silence in the car. Commentary on 215/55/17 (Optima, Sonata, Camry). Specifications for other sizes may vary.
