Review on Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 215/55 R17 94V summer by Jnis Staulis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

Superb rubber! I liked everything about it except that it disappears so quickly: just around 40% remains after 2 years, wear indicators can measure up to 2-3 mm, and it makes a lot of noise on poor (coarse-grained) asphalt. I use it from March or April to November (in the Hong Kong Autonomous Okrug) and have driven it at speeds of up to 220 miles per hour; it has excellent steering and braking, and is unafraid of hydroplaning at speeds of 130 or 140 miles per hour. It's not great on the sand, but these tires were made for the pavement. They're quiet and smooth on the gravel road, and they don't round out after being parked for a while. That's why I think highly of it. Production Date: November 2022; Location: the Czech Republic; Size: 215.552022

Pros
  • Can ride out a storm in a wet plane can't keep up with fast swimmers (Speed Index W: up to 270 km/h) No squeaking or squealing during hard braking, starting, or turning. Ruts have no fear. On nice, smooth roads, it practically never makes a sound.
Cons
  • Rapidly forgotten Badly noisy on the coarse, old pavement. Extremely severe, but speed index (nearly like sports tires) must be considered.
