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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

215/55/R16 tires on a Ford Focus 3. Purchased to take the place of a Michelin that had passed away. I was able to tell the difference almost immediately; the tires are far more comfortable and less noisy, and when traveling between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour on asphalt, I barely heard their signature rustle. I took it easy for the first 500 kilometers, so I didn't have any hard starts, hard stops, or new tires, which is a shame. After a while I was successful; I attempted to score once while jumping from a traffic light to the ground. I am taken aback with delight! Not even the slightest possibility of slipping! They didn't even make a sound because the hook is so painful. I move without "racing" in most situations, but the car is very stable both on the track and in the curves. On a route that was wet, too, there were no complaints; the vehicle even got stuck in a rut when it was raining, but there was not the slightest sign of destruction. Once, I was forced to apply the brakes because the lane in front of me abruptly changed lanes; it decelerates very quickly, and the anti-lock brakes did not even engage. I couldn't be happier with how the tires turned out! The one after that is most certainly going to be continental, and I believe that contact 6 will be an even higher level. At the very beginning, I managed to catch a self-tapping screw; fortunately, thanks to the Continental warranty, they were able to repair it with no issues.
