So far they are great, but I can say that after straightening one of my alloy wheels I had to do geometry adjustments, becausethe tyres would wear off rather quickly. Abrasion certainly won't be the same as in the OEM tyres sold in the showroom, because there's a bigger emphasis of safety and driving comfort these days. Besides, I didn't do much distance on them, but I can see that they are fine in exstreme situations. Today, on wet, despite a relevant distance from the car in front of me I braked from over 40 to zero I didn't drive into Mercedes' trunk. (They have much better brakes than a Skoda: P); noise is inaudible, behaviour in bends and handling is great. I'll assess them again for some time again, I think :P

tyres are just great. Much better than the Michelin Energy, which had started in the car factory. Continentale are quieter and much better stick to the road. On dry and rain as the vehicle drives glued to the road and turns can be overcome with much greater speed. After driving in the ruts filled with water car goes like clockwork. I do not even feel that it goes through the water :) tyres perfectly remove water. I would recommend them to anyone! Best tyres on which I rode!

Tyre which I have almost no complaints. Ideal behavior on the road. After the assumption of these tyres definitely noticed improved braking effectiveness, ie, in comparison to the previous car tyres equally strongly inhibits the pedal (unless the effect of the tread 3D). The only gripe is the noise level, expect that will be a lot quieter than the Michelin Alpin winter after which I put continentale. And do not be quieter .... Generally recommended.

I’m driving a lot for a passenger car driver and use lots of cars for that. I have a really good comparison when it comes for tyres of different producers and similar sizes. For me Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 in size 205/55R16 is close to an ideal tyre. I can’t feel ABS work on dry road and I have brakes of 312mm on the front and 256 in the back – like Audi S3. Good handling and grip on bands. Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 is ideal when starting even with my 189HP and 390 Nm car. Continental ContiPremiumcontact 2 is very silent at every speed. Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 has one thing which other sport tyres doesn’t have: it puts out every roughness and holes on a road. On wet road holds road very good ( by far only Uniroyal RainSport was similar ). Aquaplaning just doesn’t exist for Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 and when it drifts you still have time to react. Besides, riding on a wet road is very silent. Buying Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 I knew they might wear quite fast – I didn’t mind. I only wanted to have good rubber parameters and comfort of driving. So far I drove about 15000 miles and still 60-65% tread left. So durability is normal as other premium class tyres. I really recommend buying Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 as they are worth every single pound spent on them.

Hello, uses the tire from 3 seasons, I drove on it for more than 40 thousand so I can say something about it. Namely, it is very good. Class itself, in dry conditions is holding up as sticky, and the sharp turns are not a problem at all. On wet roads can afford a bit of giddiness as tire forgives a lot. By puddles total straight. Lest it was so colorful, while 3 had to postpone the season, back to front, the super grip has its price. Besides, after the spacer was made a very loud noise, the back was a little rented and some will last until it matched the front. I notice also repeated properties tires on mokrym.mam now about 3-4km of the tread. That is why I drive them to the end of the season. Price new approx $ 500 for my size. At this price I'll try to break Dunlop sp sport blueresponse. I hope that my review useful to someone. Yours.

Quiet, keeps very well on dry and wet roads. Persistence difficult to assess-mileage below 20 ffm, in less than a year, almost exclusively outside the city-seems to be no significant wear. Defect rate-rated low-results from damage to one of the tires when you drive at low speed in a very big invisible hole filled with water. Sheath is damaged tires, alloy wheels without a trace. Rolling resistance also did not appreciate-on innch not driven this car, I can not compare. Regards

I have assessed Continental ContiPremiumContact 2s once and now I can only say that these tyres are great in practically every way. Extremely stable, predictable and comfortable at the same time. Maybe they lack aggressiveness a little bit, and for typical sports cars I'd choose herder tyres. But to my 170 HP BMW they fit perfectly. One important thing is to maintain the proper air pressure and check it regularly. On the rear I apply a little more pressure and thanks to that the car takes corners better. For winter, I'll probably also buy Continentals, probably a TS810 or a newer one, if it comes out.

Tyre for riding fast (not, of course, too). Very good, precise cornering grip. Good drainage, at least at low tread wear. abrasion pretty decent given the driving style. When you change the car to C270CDI decided to ContiSportContact2 205/55R16 little because of the appearance, but mainly on reading tests in the press. Also good. Maybe even better. I recommend both. Especially in the version of the upstand rim protection.

After the previous ( horrors ) Pirelli P6000 Powerenergy I feel like in paradise. Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 are comfortable, quiet, stick to the road and securely, no matter whether it is dry or wet. I rode the pouring rain home from work in the ruts, and nothing - as if a dry day before. well suppress small inequalities - cracks in asphalt or paving stones. What to wear - I know Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 will not survive 100,000 - but something for something. Good adhesion = rapid wear. If you want to ride whole life on the same set I recommend Russian Kama!
