Review on Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 215/55 R17 94V summer by Janis Kronbergs ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

The general feeling was just good. I purchased this rubber for my Skoda Octavia A5 at the start of this season, however it wasn't as soft or comfortable as I had hoped. Unexpectedly, I thought the rubber was a little oaky. It was only then that I realized the rubber hadn't yet been rolled in, so I began the process at a positive but low temperature. It was definitely more enjoyable to ride when it rolled in and the temperature increased. On the 100 to 200 km stretch of highway that runs alongside the route where I occasionally commute by bike, the rubber poses no hazards. It travels in a straight line pretty gently and comfortably, but it clings effectively to any road surface in abrupt corners. Due to the predictable behavior of the tires and the lack of driving fright, I am able to maintain my pace at the track up to 140 without damaging my mental health. When parking in parallel, I'm a little concerned about the sidewall because it's possible that the soft sidewall won't take the impact. In conclusion, I can state that the tires are good and that the matter of price is always rhetorical and up for debate. Yes, I would suggest her to others.

Pros
  • - I noted - wear-resistant - strong grip - reasonably quiet tires - good drainage - grips well on both dry and wet pavement
Cons
  • - It gets a little noisy between +4 and +10 degrees; - Very soft sidewalls
