AutoZeitung

The ContiPremiumContact^TM 2 earned top marks in the first summer tire test of the year by AutoZeitung magazine (5/2010 issue, February 2010). Tested size was 205/55 R16 V. Test vehicle was a Mercedes C-Class.

Rating for the ContiPremiumContact^TM 2: "Test winner"

The test editors praised the product's refined structure, which demonstrated high grip and safe brake performance on both wet and dry asphalt. In their summary, the experts noted the "superior wet properties" and "top dry performance" of the Continental tyres. The editors tested ten products in all in the 205/55 R 16 V size class, used for a variety of compact and mid-sized passenger cars. Competitive products with low rolling resistance once again suffered multiple weaknesses in braking on wet roads.

Technical details

Outstanding braking performance in both wet and dry conditions.

3D grooves optimise braking performance in both wet and dry conditions. The even pressure distribution ensures very short braking distances.

Excellent resistance to aquaplaning.

Due to an increased number of tread blocks and an open inner shoulder, water is dispersed more efficiently. The harmonious round shape of the ground contact patch provides excellent protection against aquaplaning.
