Tyre reviews Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. Page 9 635

I like it very much

Causes the vehicle to wobble while in motion, not rigidly

Very soft, comfortable tires and most importantly quiet. The price is a bit disappointing, I bought it before all these price increases for 21,000 per set, now it's twice as expensive, but it's worth it.

It handles the road perfectly, it's quiet, previously I had Pirelli Cinturato P7, haven't checked the grip on wet road yet. The tire is cast well, minimal balancing needed. Braked from 170 to 100, it stuck to the asphalt well, didn't even pull the car. So I recommend it.

As soon as I installed them, they were very loud. It felt like I was driving on studded tires. After breaking them in, they were fine. On dry asphalt, they're okay. In the rain, I didn't notice anything criminal.

It came as standard with the VW Golf. I have no complaints about its behavior, but I'm not very demanding either. ABS? ESP doesn't engage in the summer, so it must have been holding the road. I only lost traction on the front axle once, when making a tight turn on a minimal radius. Overall, it suited me in all aspects.

But it's VERY noisy. When you get used to it, it's okay. But when you switch from the winter studded Gislaved NF to the summer ContiPremiumContact 5, it's very noticeable. For about a week, the noise is annoying, until you get used to it again.

But it's wear-resistant. It lasted 64,000 km over 10 years. Yes, after 6 years and 40,000 km, it started to slip when accelerating (with braking, it was perfectly fine). I got some minor punctures, but still. In principle, I would definitely consider buying it again. The noise is unpleasant, but not critical, and the fact that it doesn't wear out in a season is useful.

Continental is Continental, beyond competition

An excellent tire, moderately noisy, with minimal wear, lasting for 5 seasons, after which the rubber itself starts to age, although the tread depth allows for further use. The braking efficiency is excellent even on wet asphalt, and it handles well on turns.
