Review on Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 205/55 R16 91H summer by Micha Kobiaka ᠌

Due to the amount of time I spend driving, this is the tenth set of tires I've owned. And I've never replaced tires due of wear; I've only ever done it because of age. Car - Volkswagen Tiguan. In 2022, the relatives of his from the factory Bridgstone Dueler HP tires were changed by me with Continental tires. At the time, these tires were already 7 years old. The sole factor that determined whether or not the tire needed to be replaced was its age (at the time, there was around 6 millimeters of tread left). The results of the first season showed that the center tread tracks had roughly fifty percent of their original life left in them. The wheels were inflated to 2.2 atmospheres on an empty car and 2.4 atmospheres on a car that was loaded (two adults, two children, and goods). This was done in strict compliance with the recommendations given by the manufacturer. In addition, there were only three journeys of this kind, and the combined distance of all of them did not exceed 3,000 kilometers. I did not even dare to pump the wheels up to more than 2.2 atmospheres during the second season since I hoped to have at least one or two more seasons left. Because of this, by the middle of September, the wheels had simply worn out to zero, which meant that the second incomplete season was caused by quarantine. One day, both of the vehicle's back wheels were "safely" penetrated by small stones while traveling at a slow speed on a graded dirt road. The conclusion is that the tires are pleasant to ride on, but at the current market pricing, operating a car with them would cost an enormous thirty thousand dollars a year. They are not as comfy as Bridgstone, and in general, they are not as comfortable as Michelin or Nokian, although costing far more and failing much more quickly. The maximum annual mileage for an automobile is limited to 15,000 miles, and the speed limit on the highway is set at 110 kilometers per hour or less. There has to be no "pedal all the way to the floor" action taken either when accelerating or braking. The majority of the "work" involved with tires consists of traveling 20 kilometers around the city each day with a single driver and no load. I want to emphasize that I replaced ALL prior sets of summer wheels for the express reason that the rubber started to dry out over the course of time. And all of my old wheels were readily sold to make room for new ones in the future.
