Tyre reviews Continental ContiPremiumContact. Page 2 835

Even if my mileage was not very high, because I use my car mainly in the city, I acknowledge that these tires are good even for this type of use. Moreover, the roads here in Greece are in a pretty bad condition, but the tires seem to behave calmly in such difficult conditions. The problem is that they are much more expensive than I can afford when it's time to change them, so I will opt for the corresponding PremiumContact 2, which, as proven by better (and

Huge improvement over the Firehawks that the dealer had installed, in terms of traction and stopping. As for noise - well it was a quiet ride, and I would have had the stereo on so I wouldn't have heard the tires unless they were making one hell of a racket.

Excellent performance on dry and wet asphalt, but doesn't like dirt roads, especially when they're wet. The noise from the tires is not disturbing, the sidewall is strong, I've hit several big potholes a few times without any consequences.

Very good tires, it's a pity they're no longer produced.

Excellent choice!
In my size 195/50/15 Opel Astra, a very successful option. The rubber is soft and at the same time durable, braking is confident in any conditions. The rim protector is very helpful, since the profile is low.
Minuses: Expensive

Good tires

I especially liked the behavior of the car in deep puddles at high speeds, previously had BFGoodrich (now lives in the back) - when getting into a serious puddle, the car was dangerously thrown to the sides (the car is light), put Premium contact 195/50/15 on the front wheels and very pleased, puddles are passed very confidently, handling is excellent in sharp turns, braking distance is excellent

Pros: handling, powerful water drainage

Normally

I inherited them with the car I bought. What can I say, they're good, but stiff. But once, while driving under the influence, I didn't make it into a turn, was going about 110... spun out twice, but managed to drive into the left turn just in time. Barely touched the curb with the rear wheel. The next morning, I came back to inspect the skid marks. And it's all because of the tires. If

I have never regretted my choice even once

Having first tried these tires in 2004, I am now driving on my second set. I have never regretted my choice even once. The car's confident and predictable behavior, excellent handling and braking characteristics. On wet surfaces, it performs better than on dry ones, I would rate wet/dry as 5/4+ points. No deformations have been noticed after hitting obstacles/potholes. One set of tires is enough for

durable
very approved, durable in any conditions!

Grippy

After long deliberation, I bought them. Well, what can I say... After winter, they grip the road and hold much better. A clear zero appeared, even with a broken suspension. They are more rigid than the previous ones (Pilot Primacy) were. At first, I inflated them to 2.3 atmospheres, and at a temperature of +8-10, it shook quite strongly, especially at speeds over 120-160. I reduced

Very bad. I drove 250 km and killed 2 tires.
The rubber is terrible. It comes as standard on the Ford Fiesta. After driving 250 km at a low speed, I hit a pothole and the result was a hole the size of a 5-kopek coin (cannot be repaired), and on the second wheel, there is a bulge.
Pluses: none
Minuses: Expensive,
