Advantages: Grip in wet. Roadholding. Disadvantages: Price is always a disadvantage, but not too expensive in this case.
I write this review from my own experience, I have gone into a corner too fast and left the road. Nothing to do with the tyres, it was all my fault, and I was just glad the tyres were as good as they were, otherwise I may not have been here to tell the tale. I have been driving cars for 32 years and trucks just thirty. I have had a few skids in that time, (before ABS) and think that tyres are more important than steering or brakes.
For the first time in my life, I have bought a full set of tyres for my car, and my choice was Continentals. The actual model (Conti Premium Contact) was chosen by my ex boss who is in the tyre trade, and I trust him.
I was unimpressed by the fact that my tyres being sixteen inch were more expensive than fifteen, or even seventeens! Apparently this is due to supply and demand, they don't make ...
Advantages: kevlar reinforced belt, reflective sidewalls, design, on or off road suitable Disadvantages: price is quite high but quality, safety and peace in mind costs
from a strong, tight nylon fabric, additionally reinforced with Kevlar.
- Patented lightweight sidewall protection
- A coarse polyamide fabric that is tear resistant thanks to a special treatment process, protecting the tyre casing from cuts & slashes
- Highly resistant to pinches and cuts from debris, thorns and glass
- The Safety System keeps the tyre lightweight and flexible. It adapts to the rolling motion and keeps the rolling resistance low
Some Continentaltyres like Travel Contact have special tread design called "Endless Edge". Specially designed and shaped knobs with five edges and corners for better off camber grip or more precise steering.
Conclusion
They are really good, heave duty slick tyres to be used on and of road (on road mostly). For harder terrain Continental offers other products. This One is more ...
Advantages: Competitive pricing; good wear rate Disadvantages: None that I've found
I replaced the original manufacturer fit Bridgestones (Potenza RE040), which I felt were poor, with these Continentals. The car to which they are fitted is an Audi A4 Avant (1.9 DTI 130) and they are the standard 205/55 R 16 W size for that model, on the standard Audi 16" alloys.
I noticed an immediate improvement in grip both in wet and dry conditions, but particularly in the wet, though some of that will naturally be due to replacing tyres which were worn to 2-3 mm by brand new ones.
These Continentals are asymmetric but non-directional, which does have the advantage that you do not have to take heed of the direction of rotation - useful if you need to fit the spare. The original Bridgestones were directional, and inevitably the puncture I had was on the wrong side to the rotational direction of the spare, so I was keen that ...
