Continental Sport Contact 6 Reviews - Page 6

Given 77% while driving a BMW E46 M3 (265/30 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 10,747 spirited miles
These were fitted on my rears, I also have the same tires on the front, but at size 235/35/19Y.

I changed to these from Pilot Supersports that the car came with. Really impressive grip regardless of tread depth or weather conditions.

Notably, the grip in the wet is leagues ahead of the MPSS, and quickly launching off the line at a junction to join a gap no longer resulted in DSC anchoring in on the power delivery.

The wear rate may be better than the CSC5, but they're still nowhere near Michelin levels of wear. The CSC6 is a softer tire after all. I have to say the wear pattern is very nice and gradual. Overall a great tire at a great price.

Handling is simply outstanding, especially sharp turn in during wet weather. At the wear markers on the front, the sharpness of the front end never let go.

I have used these tires for 1500 km (932 miles?), and I gives it the highest score except in one - Comfort. As more warm the tire becomes, as more noisy it is. Over approx 135 km/h it seems much noisy when the tire-surface become warm. First I thought it were me and my "head" :-) but I talked til Conti, which confirmed what I hear inside the car. I'm not sure I will buy the tire again, but the problem is, that there is nog tire in 2045-40-19 from the Premium Contact 6 which I would have bought. I bought the Sport Contact 6 instead.

Given 97% while driving a Jaguar F Type (275/35 R19 W) on mostly country roads for 150 spirited miles
I took a set of Pirelli Zero's off to fit these. The Pirellis were just about as bad as it gets in both the wet and dry.

The Continental Sport 6 have now been on for 2 days and today is the first dry day.

In the wet these tires are stunning. Feedback is perfect, grip is better than the Pirelli's were in the dry. Where the Pirelli's lacked stability the Sport 6 is rock steady on all surfaces with lots of feedback.

The real revelation was today though. First dry day and a chance to see just how good these tires are. Grip is astonishing and even when they do start to let go they still give you enough feedback to keep feeding the throttle in.

Comfort is on a par with the Pirelli's but the F Type is firm anyway.

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!
Given 80% while driving a Mercedes Benz C63 AMG (265/30 R19 W) on mostly town for 500 spirited miles
I replaced the Sport Contact 5P on my C63 which were close to the wear indicators resulting in wheel spin at the lights and even when changing gears. Had high hopes with new tires opting for the Sport Contact 6 for all round performance, comfort and mainly wet grip using tire tests as a guide. After 500 miles or so my opinion is that the grip has given me more confidence although switching from wearing tires one should expect that anyway, but definitely good levels of grip. With so much torque in the car its hard to judge on wet grip but still more confident and braking is good. Another important factor for me was the comfort and these did feel more comfortable although I could have wished for less road noise from the tires. Then there is the question of wear that so many reviewers have cited. Although after only a few miles I cannot comment on this apart from the fact it LOOKS like it will wear fast as there seems to be less depth to the tread than say a Goodyear tire (I have purchased Goodyear Eagle F1AS2 for four cars). Am sure Continental mentioned there is less tread depth also but cannot confirm at this point. Overall a good tire for fast cars.

Great tire for driving and handling with supreme confidence in it but... oh boy the wear !!!
I don't drive or brake like a racer but at less than 6000 miles all 4 need replacing as tread just about legal !

They tires give superb performance in wet and dry, however there is a trade off. They have won out in less than 6000miles or gentle driving which makes them very poor value. Back to Assymetric 3's for me, as they grip nearly as well but wear much better. (Managed 20,000 miles on a set of those with rotation)

Best tire I've ever used. Quiet and comfortable but still good sporty handling.

Having put a new set of Continental sport 6 tires on my Mercedes Cabriolet E250 I was pleased with the handling especially in the wet. After 6500 miles the rears need replacing. This is an absolute joke!
At £200 a tire I will not be buying Continental again.

Given 71% while driving a BMW 3 series (255/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 1,300 average miles
The tires are amazing on my 2014 BMW 330d in all aspects except for the wear. It feels like they melted before the sun. I've done about 2000km's on them (I am a 25 year old male, I drive the car securely but I do like to push it when the road asks for it) and when I switched to my winter wheels I expected to see a tire in good condition coming off the car, but I was already worn down a lot. I don't know if I'll be replacing them with the same tire again...

Given 89% while driving a Audi a5 3.0 tdi quattro sport (255/35 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 7,500 average miles
I put the Continental 6 sport on in March, September now and just took them off with 3mm remaining. Through the summer they have been fantastic, dry or wet they have never let me down. They really do suit English roads and will do all you ask of them except wear a little bit longer. I was hoping they would last till November till the winter tires went on. So I had a choice of another set or something else. I had 4 Michelin PS4 tires fitted to the car and although only been on a day or so the difference in steering is more precise. They are just as comfortable as the Contis and have the same amount of grip. No problems with traction as the cars a Quattro but do seem to be better braking. If they lasted a bit longer I would have bought the Contis again as they are a really good tire.

Given 89% while driving a Vauxhall vectra vxr 280bhp (245/40 R19) on mostly motorways for 3,000 spirited miles
Gekauft als Ersatz für die Pirelli P Zeros, sind die hier dagegen eine enorme Verbesserung. Ich hatte früher auch schon Pilot Super Sports dran und würde sagen, die Contis sind genauso gut, wenn nicht sogar besser in den meisten Bereichen, außer vielleicht beim Verschleiß. Sie sind leiser, als ich erwartet hatte. Der Spritverbrauch ist leicht nach oben gegangen. Aber der Grip, den die hier haben, ist einfach nur atemberaubend. Es gab hier in den letzten Tagen irre viel Regen und wir hatten eine 500 km Autobahnfahrt auf einer buchstäblich überfluteten Straße, und das alles war kein Problem. Ich bin so beeindruckt vom Grip und der Widerstandsfähigkeit gegenüber Aquaplaning bei diesen Reifen. Sie sind nicht ganz billig, aber Tires On The Drive hat mir einen vernünftigen Preis gemacht. Vorher hatte ich oft billige Reifen drauf, aber das Risiko gehe ich nicht mehr ein. Insgesamt sind diese Reifen brillant und ich bin extrem zufrieden damit, dass ich sie ausgewählt habe.

Ich habe eine brandneue C-Klasse mit Continentals dran und bin erst 10.000 km gefahren.
Hinterreifen sind bis zu den Markierungen runter. Ich bin 64 Jahre alt und fahre auch so.
Bin auch Automechaniker und TÜV-Prüfer. Das Auto ist erst 9 Monate alt.
Werde in Zukunft keine Continentals mehr fahren.
