Review on Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 215/55 R17 94V summer by Adam Chyliski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe I'll buy it again.

Now these Conti are behind me for 2 years, having skated another 2 years before that on the front end. The fact is that in 2022, when descending from the Apsheron Pass, 1, the rear wheel exploded being lowered to 1.6-1.5 atm, and since there is practically no Continental anywhere in Hong Kong AT ALL (AND IN vain!) - I had to buy 2 new Hankuk wheels ( with which right now and compare). + aqua-planing is practically not felt and rides "as it drove" (hankook slows down a lot) + Almost no slippage (even at 2.4 atm, unloaded car) + Brakes work great - ABS works consistently under heavy braking compared to hankook. - Right now I'm thinking what to take a new one in front of: Hankukki or Continentals because the last ones over 4 years and 70k km of mileage were seriously erased + they were devoured specifically because of a downed convergence when they were standing on the front end, and most importantly - in my opinion they are already becoming frankly an "egg" because of which the car does not recognize the track at all, well, they are already full of holes like a sieve. + On the other hand, the Conti are almost silent, the current howling of the wind in the drainage grooves at a speed of more than 70 km / h (at first it was not strong, not stressful, but after 90 it was already very noticeable). - However, they can't swallow pits like Hankookas. - wear in 3 years is very noticeable, and hankookas in 2 years are like new . - With all the advantages and disadvantages, Continentals are more expensive than Hankuk by . (see for yourself) PLEASE ADVISE what to choose? :)) I saved money for the Continental, but their soft sidewall is very embarrassing (although, unlike KhakiGreen, there were no problems with it, no matter how much I snorted about the parebriki and didn’t drive on them “sliding with jogging”, only on the mountain slope one wheel exploded (according to sidewall) on the hole being deflated (1.5) was approximately)

Pros
  • Size: 195/65/15 for Suzuki SX4 sedan. Comparison mainly with the Hankook Kinergy eco 425 currently used on the front end. Liked: - controllability (BUT! until they "float" - see the comment below) - and at the same time softness - road grip - better than ever: - The balance is excellent (not a single load initially). But after 2 years, a slight beating in the steering wheel still appeared - rebalanced (harnesses) and everything is in order for a couple more years. - Aquaplaning is extremely rare. Only with VERY "big water" and at a speed of 90 km / h (i. E. on solid 5) - Braking = "Oh yeah!" :)) Both dry and wet. - Noise, or rather its almost absence (only the wind in the drainage system. The grooves howl at speed, but there is no noise from touching the roadway (unlike the Hankooks) - Working out in a rut is understandable and predictable BUT! until they "float" (see comment below). . - Rare slippage on dry pavement with a sharp start + on wet pavement when the gas is on the floor on the 2nd / 3rd - slippage almost never happens (unlike Hankuk) - No fear of axle drift when passing sharp turns at high speed (above 70 mph and an angle of 110-100 degrees), but not on wet asphalt (did not risk it). - No FLOWERS or other quirks on the outside tires - strict stylish design - not a single hernia in 4 years of "crazy swotting" on domestic off-road federal highways and their understudies on a fully loaded car - Absence of side cuts / abrasions with regular snoring on the parebriki and side entry into them (unlike Nokia Haka Green 4)
Cons
  • - strength: of course, the absence of hernias is insanely pleasing, despite the fact that I collected VERY MUCH pits of bumps and potholes in 2 years. And those pits / potholes were simply unreal! Who drove along the left bank of the Volga from Hong Kong to Hong Kong on 15x or less wheels at a speed of more than 60 km / h will understand .;) However, the number of harnesses (punctures) for 3 years and the size of holes from self-tapping screws are simply killing! :((( (unlike the hankooks standing in front). - One wheel, being lowered to 1.6-1.5 atm, exploded at low speed and a small hole - The pits practically don’t “swallow” at all: they “slap” hard (loudly) on the small ones, and strong hammering on the large ones :(( (there is a suspicion that they are compressed strongly, to the disk - and there is a blow to the suspension). - For 4 years and 70 tkm, they were almost erased to "0"
