No issue so far with these tyres typically I’m not a brand person but when it comes to tyres you get what you pay for.

Driver’s 3rd review

Very good all round feel of the road,and good value for money. However....the construction of these tyres is a lot softer than any previous tyres I've owned, and, in less than 1500 miles, I have picked up 2 punctures (both times in the tread centres), which is probably the amount of punctures I have suffered during 45 years of driving. Unlucky? Maybe, but I sense that these tyres are nowhere near as rigid/resilient to punctures as the majority of tyres on the market. I won't be buying Continentals again,based on my experience.

Great all round tyre to live with. Excellent feel of the road in wet and dry conditions, although not so clever in light snow, without dropping the pressures down, and then manageble. All in all, I would buy these again, as the tread pattern and value are spot on

They perform O.K. The ride is slightly harsher than the last set of Continental Contact 5's I had on.

Very well. No issues with these Continental Premium Contacts. They are wearing better than Dunlops or Goodyears I had previously. Maybe they will be as good as the OE Bridgestones, which did 24k rears and 30k on front.
