Review on Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 205/55 R16 91H summer by Wiktor Uhlig ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

Bought in April 2022, pleased with the silence and comfort on the vast majority of road surfaces. But there is a huge but . On a trip, without driving on new tires and 500 km, when crossing tram lines, I received not even a side cut, but in fact - a tire explosion. He calmly stuck three fingers into the hole. Before that, there was a bridgestone turanza: oak, noisy, but reliable. My opinion: rubber, which is so not adapted for real roads, is not worth the money. : After more than a year, I still change my rating for the better. There were no more problems with cuts, although every time I cross tram tracks or cut asphalt at an angle, I internally strain and expect a catch. Now I can’t say with certainty that it’s really quiet, but most likely I’m just used to it. At rough joints, it slaps on the asphalt in very contrast with the usual noise level. Handling, braking are still at 5+: in a downpour, if you don’t drive along a rut with a puddle, then 160 km / h are quite comfortable. Even with a sharp turn, whistling with rubber on the front-wheel drive is a lot of work.

Pros
  • Quiet, comfortable
Cons
  • Not designed for driving on imperfect roads
