Review on Continental PremiumContact 6 275/35 R19 100Y Summer by Adam Mielczarek ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Standard 205/55R16 91V tire size. Before you buy these tires, make sure to read the reviews. Here is my take on the criticisms leveled by several reviewers: I can attest that the PC6 tires are noticeably quieter than my previous set of PremiumContact 5s, even on smooth pavement, and that they are on par with other tires with a similar speed index in terms of noise level when driven over rougher surfaces. Those who worry about the tire's thin sidewalls should keep their eyes on the road rather than trying to avoid obstacles by hopping over them. The same "opera"'s worth of punctures. Monolithic tires found on specialized machinery are impervious to damage from punctures and side cuts. Tires rated for greater loads feature a more robust carcass and thicker sidewalls, providing you with some additional protection. Third, hydroplaning: no tires will keep you from floating in puddles when you're going fast. A few millimetres of water can cause hydroplaning at 70–75 kilometers per hour, and even the greatest summer tires with a directed tread pattern will "float" at 80 kilometers per hour in a puddle that deep. The tire's ability to pick up stones and fling them into the wheel arches is a drawback, but it also serves as an indicator that the tire has high traction and can clean itself. When I drive on gravel with my PC6, I don't have to listen to the "clatter" of stones that get stuck in the tread, as they don't get stuck like they did with my old tires. Other tires are required for use on gravel and dirt roads. PremiumContact 6 tires are great for everyday driving on typical roads. For drivers who refrain from "racer" mode, the tires perform admirably in both dry and rainy conditions at speeds over the penalty threshold. The tire's road bumps are relatively gentle, and the driver can clearly feel zero on the steering wheel. Acceleration and braking are also superior than those of most tires of a same size. And if this isn't the case, you shouldn't lay the blame on the tires but rather take the automobile in for repairs. You can trust PremiumContact 6 without worry if your budget allows it and you don't have any strong preferences about specific tire brands or models.

Pros
  • Controllability. The pinnacle of road grip. Quiet.
Cons
  • Didn't turn up.
