Continental Premium Contact 2 Reviews - Page 5

Given 54% while driving a BMW 530i (225/55 R16 W) on mostly country roads for 10,000 spirited miles
I got rid of these as the wet summer and winter U.K. grip was terrible.

They came fitted on a BMW I purchased and now replaced with Mich. Cross Climate.

These tyres wore pretty quick, noisey and wander.

I wouldn't buy again. I thought Continenal were a quality tyre considering they lead the grip in road cycling and some other areas. Maybe it was just these are their low end but they are priced in the mid-range tyre bracket. £10 more will get you a premium tyre.

Don't use these in winter. Might be useful on summer rims and then buy a winter tyre on cheaper rims as an option.


Good in a straight line only.

Those Premium does not fit the Suzuki Swift (2011) very well...
I mean they did a good use and all but in our hot weather wear was fast.

I drove 30,000 miles on it... and after they lose the first 2 layers it is very poor driving experience you're having.
noisy bumpy and not very much efficient.

wont buy those again :(

Continental tyres are definitely overrated! I've tried lots of different tyres and these weren't good, they were average grip on dry and wet, cost a rediculess amount of money and started cracking in the tread very quickly in summer but that never got bad as they were bald in 6000 miles and the car didn't have enough power to wheel spin and they were original equipment on the car. Wouldn't buy again, get goodyear efficientgrip suv!

Good tyres, but does not last long.. Would i buy them again? My opinion about Continental is good, but afterall looking for cheaper tyres - such as Nokian Line, or Toyo Proxes CF2..

These tires are good for town driving, but if you lose grip it happens way too fast, so fast it scared me. They lasted me about 60,000 km's, so definately last long. The fact that they are so unprogressive though, and are really expensive (i did not buy them they came stock with the car), has led me not to buy these tires again.

I was not interested In mpg / environment / mileage ... all I wanted was a tyre with fantastic grip and safety . I drive a powerful heavy front wheel drive and the grip ,quiet ride and feedback I get is fantastic . Although it was not important to me they have covered 16k swapped front to back at 7k and the fronts are still not near the wear markers . I was in the motor trade for 26 yrs so know my tyres !

I have driven 4 Premium Contact 2 for about 34000 km, mostly on highways and on all weather conditions. I am most happy with these tyres. I absolutely recommend them.

Great set of tyres. Not had them on for long but so impressed so far, especially on fuel economy. Full tank usually lasts one week but since havingg these put on im 5 days through and still have just over half a tank left! Feels a lot smoother to drive. Great buy

After 27000 miles the back tyres look like new but i am again looking for new tyres . Slippery when wet and wheel spin with a baby diesel ? Aquaplaning has been a problem also , never had that in the past with any car . Ok tyres but wrong car .

Fitted on front to replace worn out Sport Contact 2, no longer available.
Lasted about 16k, seem reasonable but disappointed with wear for £100+ tyre.
