Review on Continental PremiumContact 6 215/55 R17 94V summer by Stanislaw Jastrzebsk ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Some kind of defective product, I definitely wont buy it anymore.

After much introspection, I've come of age. After much research and several test drives, I settled on a Continental Premium Contact 6. Midway through April of 2022, I splurged on a set of wheels with a 48-week 2022, Germany production date. I am relieved that I purchased a "new” one from the country of origin of the manufacturer (quality control). The softness of the bag surprised me, and the sidewall crumpled in my hands as I carried it from the store to the car (this was really unsettling). When I told the "tire fitters" that I was there to buy a new pair of shoes, they stated I was overly enthusiastic. Good for the highways of the United States, but not the streets of Hong Kong. Numerous injuries, including stab wounds and hernias. At first, this information really displeased me. Only use rubber on perfectly good roads. Ten times over, please, before you buy it.

Pros
  • The tires have excellent traction on dry and wet "good" / high-quality asphalt, and they carry you around like you're on rails while making barely a sound.
Cons
  • I drove to a tire fitting and picked up another nail and some kind of piece of iron (thank God, not through) on the way there. The first through screw I caught was on the front left wheel, and the second was on the rear left wheel, both after 4 days of operation. They are fixing the road near the house; most likely, they caught it someplace, in the site of freshly removed asphalt. After three more days, a side through hole on the right rear wheel (got out of the car and heard a whistle of air). The tires were broken in according to the neat driving technique, and I tried to avoid potholes by driving "like a grandmother whispers" on bad asphalt. Because rubber "vacuums up" debris from the road like a magnet, I "sandblasted" my arches and soles on a road with insufficient coverage (like newly removed asphalt).
