Hanover, March 8, 2019. In its latest issue (4/19) under the heading
“Pitstop”, AutoBild Sportscars reports on the latest summer tire test.
Of the eleven size 245/45 R 18 tires in the test, the PremiumContact 6
from Continental was awarded the best possible rating: “examplary”. “A
balanced peak performer delivering impressive dynamic performance on
wet and dry roads, steady and safe handling in the wet and dry, a
precision steering response in the wet, and short wet and dry braking
distances,” was how the journalists summed up their findings.
The PremiumContact 6 recorded high scores for safety-relevant criteria
in particular: In the dry braking, aquaplaning and wet handling tests,
for example, it scored good and very good marks as it laid the
foundations for the best rating that the magazine awards.
The PremiumContact 6 is a passenger car and SUV summer tire for
compact-class models and above. The range currently includes 120
variants, with approvals for speeds of up to 300 km/h. The
PremiumContact has been approved by numerous renowned automakers for
