The Conti PC5 is not so much replaced as supplemented (much as the PC2 survived the arrival of the PC5).
As far as I'm aware, the PC2 only survived in OE sizes where Continental had an obligation to make the tire available.
The PC5 will certainly survive in the smaller aftermarket fitments for now, time will tell as to whether Continental drop the PC6 to smaller sizes.
Curiously, there is a host of sizes having both PC2 & PC5 on offer.
The tire market works in weird and wonderful ways!
