Across 101 reviews, the Continental PremiumContact 5 is most often described as a safe, confidence-inspiring summer tyre with strong wet and dry grip and very good braking performance. Many drivers also praise its comfort and generally low-to-moderate noise levels when new. The dominant recurring complaint is rapid tread wear/short lifespan, and a notable minority report soft sidewalls or vague steering/feedback (sometimes described as a “floating” feel), with some also noting increased noise and reduced wet grip as the tyre wears.

very very comfortable tyres i used continental sp2 but premium contact 5 is better and more comfortable and more grip and luxurious feeling i ll buy again
Very good in wet, superb in dry.
Poor steering feedback but very comfortable.
Inspire confidence, but do roll a bit on corners, definitely a comfy touring tyre rather than a sport tyre.

I have these on size 195/60/15 -V- (Toyota Avensis). Very confortable tyre which provide very good grip in dry and wet conditions. Main drawback: very soft tyres which don't provide enough road feedback and wear very very fast! Driving mainly in highways and country roads with lots of cornering these tires are seriously worn out after 35.000 kms! I doubt if I will buy them ever again...
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Continental Premium Contact 5? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
Have this tyres already 20000km , and still good grip and still 3-4 mm left.
had before the Energy savers from Michelin. Although that tyre is more economic, it,s also wear very fast.
Terrible wear, after 2 months and 2300 km they look like they are 1 year old. No road feedback, especially over 130 km/h, terrible brakes in high speed. Golf TSI 160PS. I will throw them away soon never again...
Good grip in dry nad wet road, very comfort but you get no road feedback and also poor wear. If i was 50+ years old i would buy them again for their comfort...but as i am 30 years old and i am looking for a more sporty feeling i am not going to buy them again.
Very comftortable and balanced tyres,with good grip(dry and wet) and low noise..I am really happy with theese tyres because my ex Turanza ER 300 are totally tragic after three(3) years and 42000 km...The only negative point is the low road feedback...
Bought these tyres after reading the promising test results to replace my Bridgestone Turenzas. I was hoping for improvement in fuel economy and to keep the grip I had with Turenzas. I have seperate winter tyres because I had no confidence in summer tyres on snow and ice so it was just for summer performance. Not impressed with wear so far, seems to be wearing more than bridgestone. Grip is good in wet and dry and under breaking but there is slightly more roll in the corners than bridgestones.
I would buy these again so long as they last close to 30k miles
Coming from Michelin Primacy LC. A comfort themed tyre, decent at best handling.
Then came this tyre, I bought it after reading rave reviews.
This tyre is noisy. Very noisy.
Grip is decent.
Poor poor wear. After 3000 miles. I'm half done!!
Never again.

Before I used YOKOHAMA AVANT which is very good tire even at 80.000 km it has 6 mm depth. I prefered Conti for its new technology for noiseless and confort and brake performance. The first thing that I have to say that this tire is very very confortable. Toyota is famous about to feel the road to you and this tire neutralize this phenomena in my opinion.
it think these are great tyres, however the wear is really quick. i can be rated as a decently sedate driver. after approximately, 10k, its worn almost half!
What a fantastic tyre.In comparison with my previous set of tyres (GOODYEAR HYDRAGRIP)are ages ahead.Super silent and super dry grip.Waiting to try it in wet grip as well.
