Passenger Car Summer Premium Touring Tires Tire Review Highlights
My first conti tires were premium contact 5 on 195/65/16. Were very grippy but in 15.000km they were at end of tread without any aggressive driving and always on countryside. Side tread was also wasted. Always correct pressure. I said I won’t buy again.<br />
Before 6 months with another car i was suggested to try Premium Contact 7 205/55/16 from my local Tire shop. I was ready to buy the all new falken ziex 320 but I trusted them that the new 7s were upgraded and we installed them. After first 1000km I was totally right!! that they are the same crap like the old ones. I’ve made now nearly 5.000km in 6 months on a Leon.<br />
They are very grippy yes, especially on dry.<br />
But.. the wear is significant and on side tread and on main tread. The steering feedback is veeeery bad for me, my body is going from door to the gear leaver after tight corners and I don’t drive fast most of the time, I think that I have a second suspension on my wheels. You can see the side of the Tire is greater in height than others on same dimensions.Furthermore are very noisy comparing with others. Also from new i measured the tread from the water passages to the top and were approx 6.5mm instead of others that were nearly 8.5!!!!!! I was using Goodyear efficient grip performance 2. Great tires lasted 45.000km on Greek hot conditions and after 4 years I changed them because of side cracks.<br />
Contis are the worst automotive opinion I’ve made till today.. AGAIN even that is 2gens after my first impression.<br />
Disappointed entirely . Lastly the don’t tell the “made in” country, just they have a batch label like screwed and inside the numbers has the “CN” acronym so I suppose they are made in China… <br />
I don’t recommend them at all.

A cheap tire , for a reason. Super short life. Starting cracking all over tread pattern after a year. Pot holes damage this tire very easily. Now done 6000 miles. They are ready to go in the bin. But cheap, buy twice. Buy a quality tire like Continental. Superior in every single way.

Coming from Lassa Greenways, this is a definite improvement in all categories, the tire feels very direct with a nice bite into the corners. It has incredible road feedback giving you a lot of confidence. As for comfort it's not all that noisy, especially compared to the Lassa's, as for comfort they are a bit hard though not annoyingly so.<br />
Some reviews say that they feel a bit of an imbalance when doing 110-130km/h and I can confirm got that as well, though it did clear up as they are driven(broken in).<br />
You do feel the bumps and imperfections in the road a lot(but Bulgarian roads are harsh no matter the tire really).<br />
<br />
First impressions are that this tire is definitely worth the money, especially for the price point they are at, 50 euro a tire is incredible.

Found these VERY efficient, smooth and quiet. Handling is great with good comfort, no fuzz and not to sensitive to road irregularities like the Michelin Primacy 4 on the other car. <br />
<br />
From the winter tire swap these increased range with 5,4%

After 30,000 km they started to fall apart, as if you had pulled pieces of rubber from them on the underside and you could see all the way to the wires inside the tire.

Changed from t005a to this tire. Very comfortable and quiet tires. I just need a nice touring tires in my Corolla. Does the job well. Don't expect it to handle like a UHP tire.

Whit every new tire i test it by scraping my shoe against it to feel grip( laught as much u want :) )<br />
And i can say, compared to my ex micheling primacy 4+ , there are extreamly sticky. On medium quality asphalt i pushed tires hard whit speed over 120 kmh on extreamly steep curve. I am impressed and i can only say that i will buy it again. Saved me today from hiting another car whit 10/10 braking on wet. Noise is on par or even better then michelin. I bearly hear them! . Compared to micheling-excels in evrything! Corners i couldnt take whit confidence<br />
, now i speed past it. Short life compared to michelin? One thought -i value better braking and cornering then tread wear.<br />
Downside- they do use 0.3 more fuel coz ur driving faster :-) extreamly happy!

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2
— rated 100%
while driving a Volkswagen Polo 1.0TSI for 500 miles
After a horrible experience with my previous OEM tire, Continental Eco Contact 6, I put on EGP2. <br />
<br />
Consumption is slightly higher, but not alarming, as EC6's only advantage is consumption; it is logical that they focus on this ability and reduce the rest. <br />
<br />
On wet roads and in curves, I notice a significant improvement over the EC6. It is very comfortable and quiet, as I can notice for now. Dry and wet grip is excellent.<br />
<br />
EC6 lasted just 30.000 km and 3 years. From this tire, I hope it can be doubled. Just one fun fact - in my country, the price for these two tires is almost similar (!), which is crazy considering how dangerous EC6 is on the wet.<br />
<br />
Handling is great. I can really feel improvement from anything I drove previously (Firestone, Bridgestone, Vredestein, Continental, Hankook). Vredestein was very comfortable biased always, so I enjoyed this, but EGP2 seems comfortable enough, but also good in curves, and very confident in braking. Hankook (I just drove winter RS3, so maybe it is not a good comparison) was also very comfortable, but EGP2 is a level up in confidence or feel.<br />
<br />
The reason I chose this tire is that in my country, there are no current models of touring tires from Tier 1 and 2 except EGP2 and Vredestien Ultrac +, which unfortunately did very badly in this year's tests. Manufacturers push eco tires (like Conti) or older models (like Primacy 4 or Bridgestone T005). So for 185 65 R15 I think it was the best possible choice if you want to go above Nexen, Kumho, Kleber, Fulda, Uniroyal...<br />
<br />
About wear, and whether I would buy it again, I cannot say; it is too early for that.

These are premium tires with the highest ratings in basically everything. I mainly value comfort with quiet tires and good wet properties. I don't have "aggressive" driving. I have increased the tire pressure to 2.9 - 3.0 but it is not felt when driving.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.

Got these to replace standard Bridgestone turanza 005A. Did 4 wheel allignment as well. Initial impressions quieter, handling is great, dry and wet during late winter in the UK and early spring, comfort better even those turanza 005a was SL and these are XL. Perfect tire, my only concern is that fuel economy dropped about 25% which I can't explain. Motorway averages 42mpg, previously it was 56. I've inflated them to what car manual says to 36psi, but manual assumes the tires are SL. Wondering maybe XL ones need higher pressure to compensate, but can't find any info about this. Also confuses me that people were saying XL is stiffer ride, in my case totally the opposite.

Would do better putting bicycle tires on the car. Easily damaged on less than perfect roads and the rate of wear is ridiculously excessive no matter the driving style. Cost to replace a set is around $300 a corner - crazy. These are the only US option for the BMWi3 - making this a fatal flaw for an otherwise great car.
