Ranked #7 of 11
Finishing 7th out of 11 competitors, the Continental PremiumContact 6 was awarded a 'Satisfactory' rating. Renowned for its premium comfort, the tire boasts stable handling on dry surfaces and impressively short braking distances when dry. Moreover, it is lauded for its fuel-efficient rolling resistance and overall good comfort. However, it falls short in a few areas, notably its limited safety margin under aquaplaning conditions, delayed steering response, and extended braking distances on wet surfaces. Standing out in its performance, the Continental PremiumContact 6 was especially dominant in dry braking, a discipline where it outperformed its competitors.

Ranked #2 of 17
Achieving a strong second place out of 17 competitors, the Continental PremiumContact 6 stood out for its overall balanced performance, particularly excelling in wet conditions, where it was deemed the best in disciplines such as wet circle cornering and wet handling. It also performed commendably on dry roads and had the advantage of low fuel consumption, marking it as highly efficient. According to tester feedback, the tire showcased an excellent equilibrium between handling in dry and wet conditions, with dry braking being a noteworthy strength. On wet surfaces, it not only displayed impressive braking capabilities but also maintained precise and controlled handling both on wet handling courses and circular tracks. Interior noise levels were found to be good, contributing to a comfortable driving experience, although the tire's exterior noise emission was rated as adequate. Additionally, it showed low wear rates and ranked among the top for energy efficiency, further emphasizing its attributes. While no specific weaknesses were pointed out, the test results conferred a 'Good' final rating on the tire, underscoring its reliability and performance.
