Review on Tire Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 205/55 R16 91 H by Wiktor Pozna ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, not disappointed.

Purchased in April 2022, and have been satisfied with its quiet operation and comfortable ride on the great majority of road surfaces since then. But there is a massive caveat to this. During a journey, I did not have any new tires and I drove for about 500 kilometers before I suffered not even a side cut, but in fact I had a tire explosion when I crossed some tram lines. He did so with a cool demeanor and inserted three fingers inside the hole. Prior to it, there was a bridgestone turanza that was made of oak and was obnoxious but dependable. In my opinion, investing money in rubber is a waste of time because it is not suitable for real roads at all. Even after more than a year has passed, I continue to upgrade the rating that I originally gave. There were no further issues with cuts, despite the fact that every time I cross tram lines or cut asphalt at an angle, I have internal tension and anticipate catching something. Now, I can't say for sure if it's really quiet, but it's most possible that it's only because I've been accustomed to it. In contrast to the normal volume of noise, it makes a slapping sound on the road when it passes over rough parts. Both the handling and the braking are still at a 5+: even in a downpour, as long as you avoid driving through ruts that have puddles in them, speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour are not uncomfortable. Whistling with rubber on a front-wheel drive vehicle requires a significant amount of effort, even when the turn is sharp.

Pros
  • Quiet, comfy
Cons
  • Not intended for use on roads that have imperfections.
