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

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 6 225/45R18 95Y XL
So far, they are doing well. With the last set, I got around 50,000 miles, so I will expect the same from these.

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 6 225/45R18 95Y XL
Although these tyres are not the best for grip in cold weather, they are used as the standard option by Kia. However, they do appear to last well.
