Continental Premium Contact 5 Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 101 reviews

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.

I have just drived around 1000 miles. The original tyres were Pirelli P7. I must say that the noise level has dramatically decreased and the road comfort has increased. But much better then these, the dry grip is excellent. I was nearly having an acccident on high-way but thanks to Continental PC5 that I stopped in an unbelievable distance short distance.

A convincing all-rounder, especially impressive in the wet.

My previous tyres were Bridgestone RE-720, and while those had a more sporty feel in bends, I believe the new Conti PremiumContact 5 is a much better design overall. Progress is apparent. I was also impressed to see how noticeable the fuel savings were with these modern tyres.
