Review on Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 215/55 R17 94V summer by Micha Jakubek ᠌
I expected mediocre quality, but it was a pleasant surprise.
For good roads, this rubber is ideal. On wet roads and at high speed - super. If the flood (once hit in Hong Kong this spring), then with this rubber the car floats away at a speed of 90 km / h. At a speed of 80 km / h, nothing threatens her on this rubber. The noise from under the wheel arches is gone, unlike Michelin (soundproofing has ceased to excite me at all). And I suffered, I remember very well with a terrible rumble. The knock from the pits and the rail is what appeared along with the change of rubber + an increase in ground clearance by 5 cm (change of shock absorbers and struts). I would, in theory, need to look at tires not for compact vans, but for crossovers with such a clearance ?! Perfect handling on sharp turns at a speed of 80-90 km/h. In my inexperienced opinion, rubber extricates even from difficult situations - very tenacious and obedient to the steering wheel. NB: A question of plump and "soft" sidewalls. In appearance, they are certainly funny - thin and swollen. As if they need to pump up for the appearance of rigidity. Sometimes it feels like there is not enough tread on the side. As practice has shown, this is visibility: the car abruptly changes its disposition at a speed of 160 km / h and goes to overtake and back. An intermediate result, as in an advertisement for a German chocolate bar: "square, practical, good"))) Rubber is the golden mean. Lately I've been looking at tread depth.
- Tires are new german. I read about it in the tests "Behind the wheel". Not cheap - 4600 per piece like. Mileage so far 25,000 km. Now in descending order: 1. Experience in owning only Michelin Pilot Primacy HP and Energy Saver. Conti is slightly more balanced. Nowhere there are obvious punctures in the characteristics. If Michelins were perfect for durability, Conti is yet to find out. But still, a certain averageness of characteristics closer to ideal in Conti is felt as a back seat)). 2. Ideal in corners, rides-licks quickly without roll, good for sporty riding at speeds from 90 to 180 km / h. 3. Braking on any road is very good even with worn out brakes. disks. I'll try to test it on the sand in the near. time. 4. Super in the wet at speeds up to 140 km/h. 5. Soft for passenger comfort, quiet unlike Michelin. This advantage, it seems to me, comes from the feeling on good pavement. On other surfaces, this property may be leveled. 6. Perhaps ideal for ruts. I pass the track on the roads without tension and without loss in speed and stability, i.е. I hardly feel any difference.
- 1. Price. It was not easy to get 205/60 R16. Operating instructions: 1. Exchange rate stability - Hong Kongutations. This spring, I replaced the shock absorbers and struts to increase ground clearance, special for the 2022 Renault Scenic II. Perhaps because of the latter fact, instead of starting the shifts at 160-180, the car began to be rearranged at 130 km / h. 2. Pits and tram rails at low speed. It is possible that also due to the increase in ground clearance and a slight tightening of the suspension, the knock from the rubber became very sharp at low speeds. I try to attribute these problems to a greater extent not to rubber, but still to suspension matters. A booming knock from strong irregularities is present. 2. It is erased in 2 seasons, and we throw out the rubber. Even gays pay attention that the rubber "needs to be changed urgently." 3. For some reason, it constantly releases pressure. Pumping 2 times a month (checked, there is no such thing on other rubber). Cuts and punctures are difficult to heal. In general, by the middle of the second summer, the tires were worn out and punctured in many places)))
