Review on Continental PremiumContact 6 205/55 R16 91V summer by Michal Cedronski ᠌
Not at all what I expected.
I thought for a long time, matured . I read reviews, test drives and decided to buy myself a Continental Premium Contact 6. I bought a set of wheels in mid-April 2022, produced 48 weeks 2022, Germany. I was very glad that I bought a "fresh" one from the manufacturer's homeland (quality assurance). When I picked it up, I was surprised at its softness, the sidewall was crumpled in my hands when carrying it from the store to the car (it was very alarming). I came to change shoes - the "tire fitters" immediately said that I got excited with the purchase. Premium tires for premium cars, but not for Hong Kong roads. A large number of punctures, cuts, hernias. This fact really upset me at the very start of operation. Rubber exclusively for use in conditions of ideal roads. Think 10 times before buying it.
- The tires hold the road very well, both on dry and wet “good” / high-quality asphalt, they ride very quietly, like on rails, I assume that this is due to its softness.
- After 4 days of operation, I caught the first through screw on the front left wheel, after another 4 days, a through screw on the rear left wheel, while driving to a tire fitting, I collected another nail and some kind of piece of iron (thank God, not through). After another 3 days, a side through hole on the right rear wheel (got out of the car and heard a whistle of air), they are repairing the road near the house - most likely they caught it somewhere, in the place of freshly removed asphalt. Considering that the driving style is neat, I ran the tires in accordingly, in places of problematic asphalt I drove “like a grandmother whispers”, going around all the holes, but all this did not help. On a road with poor coverage (for example, freshly removed asphalt), I “sandblasted” my bottom and arches (rubber collects everything from the road like a vacuum cleaner).
