Continental PureContact vs Continental PremiumContact 6 — Compared

“In the case of summer tyres nope at the part of the market things haven't changed THAT MUCH... But there are now better tyres, smoother, quieter better handling..the Conti Premium Contact 6 on my cars was a noticeable improvement.. Price can be a major variable..not sure how they price out.. Assy 6 and PS5s are both in the same space as the Conti Premium 6.. Again had Assy 5 and it was a very good tyre..the Assy 6 is even better.. Each turn of the design just keeps getting better..the R+Ts are just old designs..things have moved on..BUT NOT THAT MUCH!”

“Pirelli PZero PZ5 too stiff for my like, Continental PremiumContact 6 too soft... I had some cheap 225/45/18 tyres for my older 3.0L RWD car with a quite stiff sport suspension. Replaced them with 225/40/18 Pirelli PZero PZ5. I realized these had a 5 % smaller sidewall, but 225/40 is the basic size. These were way too stiff for me! Roads here have plenty of imperfections and the bumps were giving me a headache. I managed to sell the old PZ5 for a good price and replaced them with Continental PremiumContact 6s, now with larger sidewall 225/45/18. It's alright, but there's definitely less road feedback than PZ5s. So I'm not really that happy with either. What would have been the best compromise between PZ5 and PC6? Goodyear Assymetric 6? Or maybe my fault was going for 40 % sidewall, PZ5 with 45 may had been suitable? It's just that the 45s cost way much more as a more rare size. Read more”

“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”
