Securing an impressive second place among 50 competitors, the Continental PremiumContact 6 showcased a remarkable performance with a final rating of "Good". Its balanced nature and high safety were highlighted by its exceptional handling on both dry and wet roads, earning the highest marks in these categories. Additionally, it was praised for its long service life. However, its efficiency was noted as a weaker point, slightly impacting its overall environmental footprint.

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.

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.
