The Continental PremiumContact 6 is a max performance summer tire designed for passenger cars and crossovers. It bridges the gap between a comfortable ride and sporty performance, making it suitable for drivers who desire both. This tire caters to a broad range of vehicles, from family cars to small and mid-size SUVs.
The PremiumContact 6 emphasizes reliable braking performance in both wet and dry conditions. Its design incorporates a "Safety Silica Compound" to ensure consistent grip, particularly enhancing wet braking. An optimized tread pattern contributes to high control and cornering stability, even at higher speeds. The tire's handling-optimized pattern design and advanced macro-block design ensure maximum control.
Construction features of the PremiumContact 6 include an asymmetrical tread rib geometry, which works with the tire's shoulder configuration to provide additional grip and effectively transfer forces during cornering. The intelligent macroblock design further enhances control and stability. The PremiumContact 6 has a UTQG treadwear rating of 280.
Compared to other tires in its category, the PremiumContact 6 balances performance with comfort and value. Features such as ContiSilent technology (available on specific sizes) reduce road noise, while the comfort-optimized performance footprint enhances mileage. Select models also incorporate Continental's SSR run-flat technology for continued mobility after a puncture. Some PremiumContact 6 tires also feature ContiSeal, a technology developed by Continental designed to seal a damaged tire tread.
