Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 185/70 R14 88 H

These tyres provide a very good grip on the BMW E46 when starting with full acceleration. While torque is 350 nm and power of 160 horsepower, even in the rain tyres do not slip, and the car has basically the same acceleration from 0-100 as on dry surface. The only disadvantage is the weak performance of the tyres while rapid lane changing when car begins to swing. In my previous Pirelli P6 tyres it was easier to lose traction but while controlled drifting, a car wasn't swinging at all. These do not lose traction but it seems like there's no air in them. Generally, the tyre provides very good traction, I do not understand why the manufacturer puts on such soft sides, which in my opinion does not use potential of these tyres. I recommend the product but for normal driving, I drive using 100% of engine power and suspension capabilities and I should have bought something low-profiled. What's more I replaced whole suspension in the front and rear 2 months ago + shock absorbers and Eibach Pro kit springs. Geometry is set, so nobody will think that I'm driving a garbage car and that I'm blaming tyres for bad behavior of the vehicle. Regards Read more Collapse

Tyres would be fantastic because they perfectly stick to the road, suppress inequalities, they are soft and comfortable. Braking on dry road - brilliant: I didn't feel so confident on any tyres while sharp braking as on those Continentals. On wet it's also okay. I won't judge a look of these tyres because for me it's completely irrelevant even though there certainly better looking ones. Unfortunately for me, the gums are loud, unpleasant sound arises from approx. 50 km / h, and the most troublesome is approximately 80-90 km / h, which is really in terms of speed. Of course we must note that a manufacturer placed loudness of 72 db on the label. I rode on Yokohama tyres with such volume and it was a little bit better. Certainly not all the noise will bother, I'm generally very sensitive person, what's more my Toyota Avensis has less than the average muted body. But the fact is that the Michelin Primacy 3 was much quieter in exchange for which its traction were terrible. In short, sensational tyre for those who don't care too much about rolling noise and for those who do: they surely have muted cars or cool audio systems. Read more Collapse

I bought these tyres after long time of searching. I reviewed many tests and user reviews. Eventually I chose Continental and I was not disappointed. The tyres are brilliant on dry surfaces. My Toyota Avensis just flows and sticks to asphalt. They show no tendency to slip or lack of stability when cornering, even at high speed. They are quiet and comfortable. It is similar on a wet road: when driving a car, I feel that these tyres were created for driving in the rain. Excellent drainage of water, when accidentally entering even a large puddle, the car does not become unstable. As for braking on dry and wet roads, I can't fault them: several times I accidentally braked wet and dry, but once again the tyres did excellent job. I drove over 50,000 km on them in route and in the city (I drive quite dynamically) and I do not see any special wear. I highly recommend Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 to anyone who values ​​comfort, reliability and above all safety while driving. When the time comes to change summer tyres, I will choose them again without hesitation. Read more Collapse

Car has astray package that makes the body liable to more unpleasant vibrations even on theoretically level road. It terribly annoyed me so I dumped a first factory tyres and then even tried two sets of leading manufacturers tyres, unfortunately with very poor results. Only after mounting ContiPremium ones, all irritants convulsions and vibrations has stopped. Wheels' rumbling on rough roads also disappeared. Tyres lead very confident on winding roads, both dry and wet (I live fairly high up in the mountains and on this basis I judge). I know that my statement smacks of marketing whispered, but I can not help it if these Conti tyres are just like that - close to the ideal in most areas. In conclusion, let me add that the market certainly offers some other, equally successful tyres, but I am not going to reinvent the wheel again. Currently, I lead a war with characteristic convulsions in AUDI A6 but after several unsuccessful attempts, I know that until I put these tyres on, i won't achieve desired effects. Greetings.

I do not have anything serious to complain about, as you can see my car is not a high-performance, but sharper cornering at higher speeds sense lateral skid which is also heard. Tyre pressure checked correctly also nothing bad happens with the geometry. Checking this effect 2 times a week because I always drive the same road. It is basically a road curve radius of 90 degrees may 30m? it is difficult to determine visually because the road runs through the forest. Asphalt at this place is in almost perfect condition. Before the bend there is a speed limit of 40km / h - my psyche allows me to overcome this corner at 70km / h and then you hear a slight squealing tyres. Several times I have attempted to overcome it at 90km / h then there's almost constantly squealing and pulls to put ESP active. One time I dared to drive approx. 105-110km / h and tyre lost grip, started to visibly lose track and ride to the side, and I was sweating a little, more than half of the car had to go outside. lane.
