Product description & features

The Continental Premium Contact 6 is a high performance tyre, bridging the gap between comfortable and sporty tyres.

Continental have developed an innovative tread, blending an abrasion-resistant polymer compound with a supple tread pattern. As such the new Premium Contact 6 tyre delivers a 15% improvement in mileage when compared to its predecessor - the ContiSportContact 5 and ContiPremiumContact 5. Similarly, Continental have achieved lower noise levels by as much as 10%

The Premium Contact 6 features the high-tech SportContact 6 tyre shoulder configuration, combined with an asymmetrical tread rib geometry. This provides the tyre with additional grip and ensures the tyre is capable of transferring very high forces, such as those experienced when cornering, extremely effectively - for greater control and traction.

PremiumContact 6 tyres are available in 15 inch, 16 inch, 17 inch, 18 inch, 19 inch, 20 inch, 21 inch and 22 inch rim tyre sizes.

Grip in wet conditions is disappointing. Tread depth down to 2mm so will need to be replaced soon, was hoping for a longer life.

Having to replace my OE Tyres on my MazdaCX5, I decided on Continentals. I was very surprised with the smoother ride, the handling was great and we thought it was quieter. I certainly wouldn’t have any hesitation in purchasing this brand of tyre in the future. With hand on heart I could recommend them to anyone. And BlackCircle is extremely competitively priced, backed by great service. Unfortunately I cannot show a picture because I purchased a new vehicle last year.

They seem inferior to previous purchases of the same tyre. As if the quality has been reduced. I have done less mileage than normal but the tyres look knackered. Even allowing for thris world road surfaces we have in the UK now, these are wearing worse than expected. If I have to change tyres more frequently I might as buy cheap ones

Real shame bought these as an upgrade to the standard tyres, completely changed the look and characteristics of the car. Sadly the car was taken away to have the tyres fitted whilst I waited at the garage, i Contacted continental directly as soon as i saw them. The sizing of these came up big regardless of the sizing being the same also offer no kerb protection as advertised
