Review on Continental PremiumContact 6 205/55 R16 91V summer by Adam Wiedemann ᠌

I’ve been driving continental tires since 2022, I started with premium contact 2, so I have experience in operating tires of this brand, and when the choice arose of what to buy from tires in 2022, the choice was obvious, as it seemed at that time. And now, after a year of operation, I would like to note that premium contact 6 tires were created and tested on European roads, otherwise the engineers would have changed the width of the grooves of the pattern, since a lot of small and medium stones get stuck in the grooves on our roads, which causes a hum and has to , in my case, call for balancing once every 2 months. At first I didn’t pay attention to these stones, I thought that they were just poorly balanced, but when the story repeated itself, I began to look closely and saw that most of these tires always have a lot of stones in the tread, you can look at the latest generation Kia Sorento for yourself, this rubber comes from the factory . This year, while wearing tires for the new season, I also noticed uneven wear, namely, the middle was worn out more than the sides, while the tire pressure was always kept at no more than 2.3 (there are pressure sensors in the car) and never pumped. Well, I would like to note the soft sidewall, many people write about this and I never considered it a disadvantage, since there cannot be both a hard sidewall and a smooth running rubber. But on this rubber there is also a specific pattern on the sidewall, such as 3d, due to which a hernia is not immediately noticeable. I only saw a hernia when I looked at the wheel from above and the hernia turned out to be on the bottom of the wheel, I had to replace one cylinder. This season, I started to run my hand over this drawing and felt as if it was a constriction, now I want to go to my masters for a consultation, so that they either dispel my doubts or sentence me to a replacement. In general, tires are controversial at some points, but in terms of braking and road stability, there are no questions at all.
