Continental ComfortContact CC6

My size is 205 55 16. Using it on Mitsubishi Xpander after finishing original Toyo CR1a (equal to CR1 retail version) tires at 40000 km. Clocked 12000 km at the moment. Findings? Dry grip is above average. Comparable to CR1a. Road feedback is good. Wet grip is average. A teeny bit worse than CR1a. It dissipates water well enough but a wee bit slower to re-grip the tarmac afterwards. Handling is average too. I guess due to soft sidewall. Competent enough follow the steering properly but that's about it. Comfort & noise are its undoubted strengths and is the reason I purchased the CC6. My car is MPV so I prioritize these traits above others. As mentioned by many, the CC6 is the most comfortable tires I ever tried. Noise generation is also the lowest I ever tried. In the past I have used GY NCT5, Toyo NE03, Viking Protech 5, Hankook Kinergy EX, & GY Assurance Triplemax 3. The CC6 comfort & noise are better than all these. Will buy again if price is more agreeable. It's not very expensive here in Malaysia but not cheap either. But does it worth the rep it's getting? Absolutely. Get one (or 4) too if you like comfort & silence at affordable price.

First of all, you have to be aware that this is an eco tire made by Continental and tend to be their most entry level product, so expect it have almost the same character compared to the others eco tires. I saw lots of users complaint about it’s grip during wet surface and not confident for high speed handling. I mean What?!!! Come on guys, this is an eco tire, it meant to be lower down your fuelling cost and made to be last longer than performance tire, so don’t expect you can get a performance tire’s like experience while you are paying the money for an eco tire. Back to my own review, I had the UC6 before and it started to make lots of noise after the thread wear lower than about 60%, and my most priority is to be comfort and quieter drive, since I’m driving a Honda Accord with 2.0L NA engine, so I’m not going too fast anyway, and I decided to give CC6 a try and it does the job that I want, quieter than my previous UC6 and Goodyear Assurance, even now it has been used for more than 20k km, the noise level are still better than the tires I used before and the thread are still like 50% left. And of course, the sidewall are much softer compared to the UC6 which is same as my expectation, so it does more comfort on city drive but not so suitable for high speed cornering. But guess what? There are no perfect tire in this world, so this CC6 is something that I need which is comfort and quiet rubber, if you are someone really hardcore on driving, pay more and go get the proper performance tire, which surely will make more noise and wear out quicker.

Continental CC6 are by far the best tires I have ever used. I put them in my Nissan Micra replacing a set of JK Vectra, and I have also used for a brief period Goodyear Kelly VFM. While JK Vectra are decent in grip and stability (went up to 130km/h and was still in good control), the ride quality was pathetic and Kellys were bad with comfort as well as grip (I could not go above 70km/h without being terrified on Vectra). I also have a Honda City in family which runs on Bridgestone. After changing my tires to CC6 the ride quality (in my much lower segment) Micra has become comparable to City. The CC6 completely eats out the bumps and potholes. On high speeds on highways, up to 120km/h, it is very confidence inspiring, and one won't feel like they're going on 120 - that is the best part - amazing stability and grip (speaking with regard to a typical ride quality of lower level hatchbacks). While I can't comment on their durability and strength as of now, since I have used them for only around 250kms, and CC6 being soft compound tires (which explains their comfort and silence), I can very confidently recommend CC6 to anyone planning to get new tires. For best results, change all 4.
