Review on Tire Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 205/55 R16 91 H by Michal Wasowicz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

I drove a 205/55 R16, a Skoda Octavia 1.8TSI (200hp / 290Nm), I drive dynamically, I keep a speed of 140-170 km along the highway. I accelerated on this rubber and drove for 40 minutes at a speed of 230-245 km / h - the rubber worked perfectly, not a hint of self-will, all steering movements, braking, even sharp braking to 110 km / h performed with a bang. In general, the best rubber I have ridden in terms of grip and trajectory retention. But nothing is perfect, noise + all the bumps, joints - transmits to the suspension.

Pros
  • 1) Tenacious on braking 2) After a light warm-up - 100% grip 100% informative 3) Wear is adequate, after a season wear is about 1 mm, I drive fast 4) No aquaplaning, even in good puddles and more than 130 km / h, braking and acceleration in the wet AS ON DRY, so that you start to scorch.
Cons
  • 1) At temperatures below + 10, you need to warm it up a little, otherwise the axle box appears, but it slows down even without warming up by 5 plus 2) Noise increases linearly with speed after 60 km/h (Winter Velcro Michelin X-Ice is absolutely silent in comparison), but given the hook, the noise can be forgiven. 3) Harsh, all joints and small irregularities are moderately but felt on the steering wheel.
