Review on Continental PremiumContact 6 205/55 R16 91V summer by Jnis Pimberis ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The purchase did not justify itself at all.

I skated 2 sets of ContiPremiumContact 5 205/55/16, the tires were very good in the rain - I calmly drove 110-140 even in heavy rain, the wheels did not feel resistance at all Seeing that the 6th generation came out, I bought it, believing that this generation would be better. In fact, even in light rain at 100, the car is already starting to swim, at the same speed for the second season, the car surfaced several times, although it was driving 90-100, because I knew that the rubber behaves badly in the rain. Very noisy, noticeably worse than the 5th generation. In terms of wear resistance, the 6th generation is certainly better, but I would prefer it to wear out faster, but it held the road better. Also managed to get a side cut on the new tire! Roads, pits, speed and driving style are the same as on the 5th generation, but the 5th generation never pierced the sidewall, and the 6th generation on the new tire burst from the side . I won’t take this rubber for the second time, it’s better to take the 5th generation again.

Pros
  • Does well in dry weather
Cons
  • Compared to PremiumContact 5: - aquaplaning; - noise; - weight; - wear resistance.
