Product description & features

The Continental PremiumContact 6 focuses on wet weather performance and cornering control in the design and construction of the tyre, as a summer season premium tyre. Continental’s Safety Silica Compound gives the tyre extra grip under wet weather conditions and maintains the summer season responsive feel. The PremiumContact 6’s tread design is asymmetric. The outer edge of the tyre features macro-block design shoulder elements. Continental’s Safety Silica Compound helps the inner edge of the PremiumContact 6 follow the road and has a water evacuation design. The PremiumContact 7 succeeded the 6 in the Continental range. Several variants feature noise cancelling, foam inner linings, and other variants feature a sealing, protective layer that prevents punctures. Tyres.co.uk stocks the PremiumContact 6, including the ContiSilent and ContiSeal variants.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread design
  • Wet weather grip

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 6 205/55R17 95V XL
The wheels should be fine, but I've had to pump two of them and I've seen a bulge on the sidewall of one of them. I have been told that it's possible I hit a kerb or a pothole, but I am certain I haven't hit any kerbs, as it is almost impossible to avoid potholes. In all my 35 years of driving, I have never had a tyre bulge before, so I am not pleased that this has happened. The garage won't listen to me about the tyres, blaming it all on me, so I am now wondering why I have bothered spending further money on 'premium' tyres.

No problems. The tyres grip the road and stay quiet even at high speeds and in all conditions.

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 6 205/55R17 95V XL
They perform very well with great grip. They are a bit louder than summer tyres, but I have no doubt they could handle some off road conditions as well.
