Review on Continental PremiumContact 6 215/55 R17 94V summer by Micha Grt ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The purchase did not bring joy, the product is bad.

I skated two sets of ContiPremiumContact 5 205/55/16 tires, and they performed really well in the rain. I was able to drive quietly at speeds of 110-140 kilometers per hour even when it was raining heavily, and the wheels did not experience any resistance at all. After noticing that the sixth generation had been released, I decided to purchase it in the hope that it would be an improvement over the previous generations. Even in a light rain at 100, the car is already starting to swim, and at the same speed for the second season, the car surfaced numerous times, even if it was driving 90-100, because I knew that rubber reacts poorly in the rain. In fact, even in light rain at 100, the car is already starting to swim. Extremely loud, and notably noisier than the previous iteration (5th generation). The sixth generation is unquestionably superior in terms of its resistance to wear, but personally, I would have preferred it to wear out more quickly if it had held the road more securely. Also succeeded in cutting the sidewall of the brand new tire! Roads, pits, speed, and driving style are all the same as on the 5th generation, however the sidewall was never penetrated on the 5th generation, but it exploded from the side on the 6th generation on the new tire. It would be more beneficial for me to take the fifth generation rubber once more, so I won't be taking it for the second time.

Pros
  • Performs well when the weather is dry.
Cons
  • Compared to PremiumContact 5, the following characteristics are improved: aquaplaning, noise, weight, and wear resistance.
