I’ve now got these all round: an upgrade on the OE Continental EcoContact 6 with superior wet weather control and a ridged sidewall to protect my alloys, overall noticeable better. It may be my imagination but they do seem a bit noisier but perfectly bearable.

Haven’t missed a beat, loads of grip in all conditions. Mileage has improved too and they sit nicely over the rim to keep away from the curbs.

I bought these tyres based on test results and awards but I’m disappointed in them . My car handles well on the premium contact 7’s but they are noisy on uneven roads and not very refined and small stones and debris sticks to the rubber more than any other tyre I’ve ever had which is quite annoying when they come off and hit the inside of the wheel arches. I will go back to Bridgestones when they wear out.

The tyres have been great, with improved handling I have huge confidence when cornering especially in the wet, they displace water effectively and provide a great balance in terms of road contact area, not offering such a vast area that it causes slip in the rain and not so narrow that you lose grip in the dry. The tyres handle quick pull aways and rapid acceleration every well with little sign of wear under spirited use. Great performance out of a non-sport tyre. Highly recommend on your daily driver.
