Review on Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 205/55 R16 91H summer by Mateusz Daczka ᠌

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

A nice tire for a calm ride between 70 and 120 kilometers per hour, at this pace and the course and other qualities go off scale, I'm really delighted with the purchase, but now that I've raised the speed to 140 to 160 kilometers per hour, it's immediately frightened. The vehicle is obstinately going in the wrong direction; it veers left and right, and there is a persistent want to guide it in the right direction. However, there is no need to drive it because it will automatically return to the correct path as if the trucks had been removed. I did an emergency jump along the roadway, similar to jumping on a winter Velcro; it was unsteady, but without whistling with brakes, it was fantastic buddies overboard; the temperature was eight degrees higher than zero. After the winter season, the profitability of the Michelin Ice 3 instantly dropped by 1.7 liters. After switching to the regular Good Year Eagle NST 5 205/55/16 factory tires, the only things that kept it at 180 km/h were the absence of noise and the silky smoothness of the ride, despite the fact that it was noisy. The turning was also quite clear. As I am not yet experienced with punctures and cuts, the installer firm offered a lifetime warranty on the tire, covering everything from cuts and punctures all the way up to replacement. Since I am not yet knowledgeable about these issues, I basically fell for their ploy when I was purchasing tires in the hopes of getting a Michelin prime. I can recommend a nice tire to those who are self-assured, appreciate comfort, and are punctual for their families. Everyone in the family will be happy with their purchase. This is a tire for those who are CONFIDENT in their abilities, thus I wouldn't recommend it for novice riders or people who participate in extreme sports.

Pros
  • Smooth, Unobtrusive, and Robust. A very relaxing and enjoyable ride.
Cons
  • Soft, adding auto roll to unstable turning, not a distinct arc, does not hold such a sensation as the rear axle overtakes the front one or as on a winter Velcro in the summer when the temperature is high. It's possible that this is just a personal perspective on my part.
