Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 7 225/45R18 91W
These tyres are much better than my old ones in every way. My old ones were very worn down.

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 7 225/45R18 91W
I looked at the test results and awards and picked these tyres, but they haven't lived up to my expectations. My car drives well with the Premium Contact 7s, but they are loud on rough roads and very unrefined. They also seem to collect small rocks and debris more than any other tyres I've had, and it's annoying when the debris hits the wheel arch. I will go back to Bridgestones when these wear out.

Tyre review for Continental Premium Contact 7 225/45R18 91W
I expected a good performance from these tyres and they did not disappoint. The traction is excellent in both the wet and dry. Even in the snow these tyres hold up respectably. Of course, they are not winter tyres, but they are still impressive. They are just as comfortable as the Michelins and Pirellis that I've had in the past. It is still too early to comment of their durability, but to be honest, that is not my main concern. I have had tyres that are worse, and they are not as bad when it comes to noise. The standout feature is definitely the handling and the feedback. They are by far better than the Pirellis that I had before. I have had experiences from just changing worn tyres, but these are definitely better. I love trying other brands and because of the mileage I do, I change my front tyres almost every year. I will definitely be using these again. I also look forward to trying a smaller size on my CRX when it's time for new tyres.
