Review on Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 205/55 R16 91H summer by Wiktor Skowroski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

General impressions were only positive. I bought this rubber for my car (Skoda Octavia A5) at the beginning of this season, I expected softness and comfort from the first meters, but it wasn’t there. Surprisingly, the rubber seemed a little oaky to me, only then it dawned on me that the rubber had not yet been rolled in and I started the operation at positive, but low temperatures. As it rolled in and the ambient temperature rose, it became noticeably more pleasant to ride. Sometimes I ride intercity and the road along the highway is 100-200 km, on this section of the road the rubber does not cause any inconvenience. On sharp turns, it clings well to any road surface, it rides in a straight line quite softly and comfortably. On the track, I keep the speed limit up to 140 without harming the psyche, because the tires are predictable and it’s not scary to drive. I'm a little afraid for the sidewall when parking in parallel, as there is a possibility that the soft sidewall may not withstand the impact. Summing up, I can say that the tires are good, the question of cost is always a rhetorical question and a topic for discussion. Would I recommend her to anyone, yes.

Pros
  • - relatively quiet tires - good drainage - grips well on both dry and wet pavement - as I noticed - wear-resistant -good grip
Cons
  • - it becomes a bit noisy at temperatures from +4 to +10 - very soft sidewall
