2018-05-26 - Why does the Continental Premium Contact 5 have a different tire label rating in the size 195/50r15 when compared to more popular/conventional sizes? Is this an indication that in the less popular size 195/50r15 continental are supplying the last generation tire? I recall that the previous generation tire did not rate so well in Autoexpress's 2016 summer tire test.
The tire manufacturers update their patterns in staged rollouts. Like you suggest, it's most likely the fact the 195/50 R15 is a low volume size and hasn't had the latest updates the more popular sizes have had.
2018-09-02 - Just noticed on my Premcontact 5's that there are several "TWI" and "x" markings on the circumference of the sidewall. These mark the levels of the 1.6 mm TWI bars and another higher bar respectively. I am now down to the "higher" bar and have around 2.5 mm of tread left. Can't find info as to what these secondary "x" markings signify but seems to be a secondary TWI perhaps set at 2.6 mm or even 3 mm. Anyone know about this and what the depth is??
I don't know officially but I know Continental do recommend changing tires at 3mm due to the reduction in aquaplaning resistance so it would make sense it's somewhere around this depth.
2018-11-04 - Is there any difference between Continental Premium Contact 5 205/55/16 91V and 205/55/16 91H ? Also why's there more than one 205/55/16 91V tire for the same manufacturer ?
There might be some construction differences in order for the V rated tire to have the higher rating. Sometimes there is more than one option due to OE specific fitments or an updated version of the tire with a newer part number.
