Continental SportContact 6 review

Thanks for the feedback...I have read a few reviews on the Contact 6 and what your describing sounds like what everyone says in the review about the Contact 5P (tire before the Contact 6). And one review they specifically talked about the issue you described in the Contact 5P and said it no longer exist in the Contact 6...interesting. Look I am not trying to be cheap but based on Discount Tire prices after install and taxes I can save close to $300 for a set of Contact 6 vs PS4S. Heck that is almost the cost of the two front tires alone even if I don't get as many miles out of them. IDK? I may give them a shot...I figure the worse that can happen is I blow through them (like you said) in 9K miles and if so then next time I go with PS4S???”

“Back when it was released, John reported something along the lines of: “Continental says the wear issues of the SportContact 6 are resolved in the new SportContact 7, and that they should match the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S in terms of wear.” I’ve had both generations, including on the same car, and can confirm the SC6 wears much quicker than the SC7, which I’m running at the moment, BTW. I didn’t even manage to get to 20k km on either of my two AMGs with the factory-fitted SC6, so your high mileage is quite the feat IMO haha. I reckon you’ll be just fine with the SC7 with your setup (car + driving style).”

“I currently run these on my 2017 GT convertible. 255/40r19 up front and 285/35r19 in the rear. They are great tires. They are smooth, grip really good, and are good in the rain. I will definately buy again”

“CSC6 is excellent tire indeed and the wear is top notch, too. The only sight negatives I am aware of is poor rim protection, quite high noise and harsh ride.”

“I tried the SC6 and they were a night and day improvement to the SC5 and any SC or Conti tyre before it (which were frankly terrible). Based on that i would assume SC7 is a further improvement. Can't really compare to the PSS I had because I couldn't reach the limit of either tyre on the road without being bordering dangerous”

“The only tires that'll be better in the wet than the ones you listed are SOME top-of-the-line summer tires, particularly the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Continental SportContact 6. The way those tires perform in the rain will bend your mind. But you seem to want to be able to drive the same tire year-round, so those are out. If you want an all-season tire and your biggest priority is wet performance, you probably want the RE980AS. When you hydroplaned, which axle let go? Front, back, or both? All tires inflated to spec, etc.? How fast were you going?”
