In a much larger sample group, with Autobild testing 53 tyres, the Alnac 4G dropped further to position 21. The autobild 2024 recap highlights the tyre's efficiency but points out its weak performance on both dry and wet roads, concerns about the tyre's environmental footprint and durability, and noticeable wear.

It ascended to 1st place out of 15 in the ADAC test, with wet braking and wet handling marked as its forté. Out of 53 tyres tested by Autobild, it maintained a high score landing the 4th position, with its wet braking feature being highlighted once again. The autobild 2024 review praises the tyre's stability and high safety margin. It performed well on both dry and wet surfaces and proved to have higher mileage. The only downside, according to the review, was its efficiency.
The Continental PremiumContact 6 succeeds the previous model, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, and has been replaced by its successor, the Continental PremiumContact 7.
