Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard-sport

A standard tyre with an added dose of sportiness — Continental PremiumContact 6 is one of them. The basis stays balanced: comfort, quietness and tread life at the level of an ordinary tyre. The manufacturer adds a stiffer sidewall or a grippier compound, so the response is sharper at speed and through corners. The ideal is that none of it comes out of the tyre's mileage.

<p>Put the Premium Contact 6's on my 1997 Civic hatch. Found them for pretty cheap used with 7.5mm of tread and copped them up. Absolutely amazed, the tire is quiet, grips very well and is very soft (which I like due to the fact that softer sidewalls means it irons out the roughness of my polyurethane bushings).
Car grips almost like glue, it gives a lot of confidence when driving, especially when pushing the car.</p>

Got these tyres on a used car about 1.5 year old some wear but not too much. I have driven an other car with the same tyre model so I had a lot of confidence in the tyre. Did quite some highway driving in central/southeast Europe with decent amount of rain during spring and summer (I had winter tyres). If the rain was not pouring at 150 kph I had full confidence in the tyre. Did some spirited driving on the backroads here and there just for fun, not pushing it to the limit, didn't feel sporty, but there was enough grip to have a bit of fun. I could say that during that spirited driving I would have expected a little bit more feedback from the tyres but then again I was not driving a sporty car and I don't have a reference tyre at this point. At the very end of life of the tyre I had only one somewhat unpleasant experience when I hit a puddle of water at 130ish kph and had just a hint of felling that I do not have control of the car but the car kept it's course so no harm was done. I would say that wear affected the tyre's performance quite gradually As for comfort and noise levels, nothing out of the ordinary as it's not the most important aspect of a tyre for me.
