Product description & features

The Continental Premium Contact 2 summer tyre has short wet and dry braking distances thanks to its asymmetric tread pattern. These tyres feature Continental's 3D-Groove technology. Unlike standard grooves, the 3D-Groove technology uses a series of interlocking walls to brace the tread blocks. With an asymmetric design, the Bionic Contour groove shape changes under braking, which helps drive water out of the grooves and reduces aquaplaning.

The SSR version has the same inner construction as the Premium Contact 2, but uses Continental's self-supporting runflat technology. This technology is designed for vehicles equipped with a tyre-pressure monitoring system, after losing tyre pressure the sidewalls will support the weight of the vehicle. Continental claims that with a puncture the tyres can be run for 50 miles at a maximum speed of 50 miles per hour. At Tyres.co.uk, we offer the SSR version of the Continental Premium Contact 2.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread pattern
  • Short wet and dry braking
  • Run-flat version available

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 2 205/55R16 91V
With the new tyres it seems to me that the car is quieter; my old set were Continental SportContact 2s.

In my most recent 40,000 mile usage for tyres, these have proven to be the best out of all the other competitors. Excellent.

These tyres are relatively good value for the price, although they are a little louder than the Continentals Premium Contacts I had before.

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 2 205/55R16 91V
I certainly can tell I have improved handling and braking since getting two new front tyres. They are also quieter than the old ones.

I was previously familiar with their quality given that these were the exact same tyres I had before, but I won even bigger in terms of the price part.

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 2 205/55R16 91V
Middling really. They are quiet enough and fine in the dry, but I do not get much feel from them in the wet and the fronts have worn quicker than I expected for the price.

These tyres provide great traction on dry, wet, and dusty roads as well as on gravel. They also work exceptionally well with my ABS and ESP systems.

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 2 205/55R16 91V
Better grip, however, the tread wear is not as good as the original Bridgestones on my diesel Avensis. I've only managed to do 15,000 miles on them with pretty mild driving, I was expecting more durable tyres from this brand.

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 2 205/55R16 91V
I have been using these tyres for a year. The tyre treads are wearing evenly. The tyres still perform well even in the rain and handle heavy braking without locking up. Would recommend.
