Review on Continental PremiumContact 6 205/55 R16 91V summer by Wiktor Iwanski ᠌
There are pros and cons, think before buying.
If we rank the main properties of tires, I would put rather interesting handling in the first place. Behind her, at an average level, comfort and noise - joints and small irregularities pass well, as well as recumbent cushions quite normally. In this regard, the tire is sensitive to the temperature of the environment. Its element is smooth clean asphalt in warm weather, heat - then the tires lay a soft carpet under the wheels and the ride is a pleasure. Therefore, given the large flaw in high German technology, the 6th generation tires turned out to be very unbalanced. And the attempt to combine parts of a sports and comfortable tire from tires of past generations failed. Sand and stones should be avoided immediately or slow down to 20 km/h.
- The most important and perhaps the only advantage of this tire is handling and traction.
- The main significant drawback, which is silent about, which spoiled the whole positive impression of the tires in general, is the abnormally large capture of a different faction from the road and its instant spread over the arches and not only. Especially from a wet surface, even with visually clean asphalt. Sand and stones seem to stick to the tires. This is probably facilitated by the new tread, where there are many closed channels, especially in the area of \u200b\u200bthe "innovative" fourth intermittent track, which actively absorbs all sand and stones. The tread tends to quickly self-clean, plentifully throwing everything that it has gathered out of the way.
