Ranked #2 of 50
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. Despite delivering good wear and low abrasion, its efficiency was slightly lower due to the tyre weight, and noise levels received a satisfactory rating. The Continental PremiumContact 6 stood out for ensuring the shortest braking distances in tests on both wet and dry surfaces, providing excellent steering feedback on dry roads, and demonstrating secure and easily controllable handling in wet conditions.
