We bought these tyres and mounted them on our Volkswagen Polo 9N3, 2009 and later we fitted them to Vauxhall Adam Slam 1.4. Currently, we have them in our Vauxhall Mokka 1.6, 2013. I can say that we tested these on many different vehicles! Having such knowledge I started to write reviews on the Internet just to help other people to choose the best product for their cars. The tyres are good in dry conditions, they are very quiet and provide good adhesion. However, they aren’t so good in rainy weather. I had a lot of tyres and cars in my life so it’s important for me what tyres I’m driving on. I know how to choose tyres. I learned a lot about performance, tread patterns, wet grip, braking distance and fuel economy. I put attention to UE labels. Generally speaking, I’m satisfied with quality of these Continentals. However, the tyres on our Vauxhall Mokka worn out quicker than I expected (after doing 16,000 miles). The tyres had 2.5 mm of tread left. They had around 6-8 mm when we bought the car. The overall performance on dry surfaces is good but not great. I like how they look like (they look good on a car). The tread pattern is really interesting and provides good grip. They could be a bit less expensive. All in all, they are premium tyres and you pay for quality. I don’t know if they are worth their price but their quality is undeniable. I had these several times. No it’s time for me to try something new.

Hi everybody. I bought those tyres some time ago. The decision was made after reading lots of reviews on different websites. Now, I’ll write my personal opinion. If someone exchanged budget tyres for premium class product such as Continental, he or she would be thrilled. However, if you like to drive fast and you had Dunlop, Michelin or Goodyear tyres mounted previously on your vehicle, you may feel disappointed. Riding on Continental tyres is simply so similar that you wouldn’t feel a significant difference. It’s like comparing Mercedes with BMW. The tyres provide good traction in dry and wet weather conditions. They are comfortable and I have an impression they would be perfect for those who used to good quality products. There are no perfect tyres and these have some disadvantages as well. Their rubber compound is harder than I expected. Therefore, driving sensations may be different at the very beginning. Tyres must adjust to your vehicle’s suspension. Driving is very smooth and the barking distance is pretty short. Low rolling resistance. I heard that Subaru, Honda and Maserati enthusiasts don’t recommend these tyres for sporty driving. However, they are perfect for a VW Passat or Vauxhall Vectra, etc. The tyres are good for daily driving to work. Top quality, typical of Continental. Maybe it’s not for everyone but still worth being recommended. Next time I’ll purchase some Dunlops Bluresponse for a comparison.

after km.34.000 forced to replace due to wear, especially in the loss of traction in the wet, after about km.500000 driver in my life there are tires with lower yield equal and sometimes higher price.

My car is Alfa Romeo 156. I’ve done approximately 30,000 miles during a season. The previous tyres I had were Fulda EcoControl. I decided to buy a set of these Continentals because of various test results. I must say that after this purchase I stopped to belive in tests. The tyres are good but I’m not sure if they are worth their price as Fuldas were much cheaper and similar in terms of quality. Perhaps their durability is higher but it’s difficult to say as I need some time to check that. When they were new, their overall performance was perfect but after some time they started to loose the most significant characteristics. All in all, the tyres are still pretty cool. The only annoying thing is their squeaking when they are new (it’s getting better after several hundred miles). The fuel consumption is low as well as the rolling resistance. Their braking distance is better than I expected. I would fairly say that their quality is visible. They are really good on wet roads. Despite their price, I think the tyres are good and If somebody is looking for top quality, the Continental PremiumContact 2 is a good choice.

On wet or dry behave perfectly, so far I've done on them and slowly 65000 km alliance to buy new tires and it will certainly conticontactpremium! I highly recommend these tires!
