“My continental premium contact 6’s getting to end or ? I am using these for the last 3 years and drove 46K km on them. Treadwear indicator for 3mm is getting very close. Should I rush or let them run for maybe another 5-10K ? Read more”

Community opinion on the Continental PremiumContact 6 is largely positive, highlighting its exceptional wet grip, reliable braking performance, and balanced ride comfort compared to stiffer alternatives. While some note high replacement costs or faster wear on heavy electric vehicles, drivers generally praise the tire as a worthy investment for safety and all-around performance.
“Well having 4 tyres to change on the Polestar 2 at the same time - and the OE spec Continental Premium Contact 6 tyres being $1020 each!!! (wtf are they made from?) I went with Pirelli Dragon Sports - same 99YXL weight rating - higher speed rating. Noise - no difference at all. Efficiency - nothing I can see from a week of driving. The car's trip average kWh/100km hasn't budged. Wear? Well the Contis lasted 22k km on the front and 44k km on the rear so who knows? Couldn't be worse, could it? Traction - same in the dry and I haven't noticed any difference in the wet but haven't been hooning it...Oh - and they were $290 each balanced and fitted.”
“I switched out my 20” good year’s that came with the car for a set of continental premium contact 6 POL a month ago before a vacation trip. They were excellent in heavy rain. Can recommend. EX30 2024 TM Ultra.”
“Continental PremiumContact 6 Bought in 2020. new, first picture is front, second is back, I rotated them 2 years ago. I see some dry rot, but they could be good for this and another year? Škoda Octavia 1.9TDI 110hp, tire size 195-65-15”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
