Review on Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 215/55 R17 94V summer by Janis Riekstins ᠌
The purchase brought only positive emotions.
I maintained a highway speed of between 140 and 170 kilometers per hour while driving my 205/55 R16-equipped Skoda Octavia 1.8TSI (200 horsepower; 290 Newton-meters). I pushed this rubber to its limits and drove for 40 minutes at 230-245 km/h; it functioned flawlessly throughout, showing no signs of resistance to my every turn, stop, and acceleration. In terms of grip and trajectory retention, this is the greatest rubber I have rode. Nothing is flawless though, as the suspension picks up on the noise and the bumps and joints.
Pros
- 1) Resolute when slowing down Two) After a little warmup, absolutely no slipping and maximum information retention After a season of fast driving, I only have 1 mm of tread left. 4) Avoid aquaplaning at all costs, including in moderately deep puddles and at speeds in excess of 130 km/h, and brake and accelerate as you would on dry pavement, lest you find yourself on fire.
Cons
- The axle box appears at temps below +10, thus warming it up helps, but by +5 it already slows down. Given the hook, the noise is forgivable even though it grows linearly with speed after 60 km/h (Winter Velcro Michelin X-Ice is completely silent in comparison). 3. Rough; the steering wheel modestly registers all joints and minor imperfections.
