Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 225/55 R17 97 W

This is the first set of Conti on which I rode in addition founded a new car with a big engine 220HP. So I have no comparison but tires behave as sensational for me (especially in the rain and large puddles - the car behaves as if it was going to the dry conditions). Read more Collapse

I bought because I had the same before and did not disappoint, yet przejezdzone less than one season and just mentioned to winter tires. Tread looks very good. Tires behave well both in the city and on the highway. Read more Collapse

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
