Owners of the Continental UltraContact UC6 most consistently praise dry grip, wet grip, comfort and low road noise. Tread-life opinions are almost evenly divided, with mid-life and end-of-life accounts ranging from substantial service to disappointing wear. Around one in eight owners criticises noise despite the larger group finding it quiet, and a few longer-term accounts describe increasing noise. Some also find the sidewall feel too soft for their preferred handling response. Repeat reviewers do not establish a common ageing trend: one remains highly satisfied while another becomes less enthusiastic but still values comfort.

Michelin PS4 is my previous set tire. Changed to UC6 to seek for balance in comfort and performance. Fitted one month ago and tested in dry and heavy rain weather.
The dry grip is excellent for highway curve cornering at the speed of 90-100 km/h. The dry brake is also excellent able to bring the car stop immediately if the car in front press the brake to hard.
For the wet grip during heavy downpour, the grip and brake is decent. The overall wet performance still way behind Michelin PS4 but better than stock tire (Dunlop Enesave EC300) Have to drive in slower speed for safety.
Wear - Treadwear rate at 320, hopefully it can last for at least 40000km
Comfort - This tire provide significant comfort than Michelin PS4 in term of road noise and go through road bump.
Buy again - One of the lowest price premium touring tire for my size 215/55R17. Will consider buy again.
his was a year decision in waiting and making. Today I am changing the Bridgestone Dueller HL400 stock tires (6 years, only 23k km, 40% tread left. Pitting on the tire shoulder, time to go) to Continental UC6 SUV (manufacture week 24 and 25 of 2019).
.
The tread pattern differences is significant and obviously the Continental has an advantage of being more recently launched and researched, which include all the bells and whistles of tire technology by Continental.

This UC6 SUV is not the same as the UC6 as the SUV was built with harder sidewalk for better stability. My experience with the stock tires was “too soft†and you can feel the car floating while taking corners and even on the straight at cruising speed. .
I was looking for the 225/55/R18 size which is not a size you find easily. So choices like Pirelli Scorpion Verde, none from Goodyear, and the Bridgestone (Japan) is hard to find (which, why would I want to get back the stick tire, right?). The other option was Yokohama RV02, not too great of wear and review.
.
Decided this over Michelin Primacy4 as reading feedback from tirereview.co.uk doesn't sound too convincing (not even close to as the Primacy4 is not meant for SUV (Car and Van). Was hoping for Michelin Pilot Sports 4 SUV, or PS4 SUV to be available in market, despite it being launched earlier this year, no luck even after calling Michelin Malaysia.
.
With this Forester XT capable to churn 245hp and 350Nm torque, it be fun to see how this tire hold up on the rod, wet and dry. Wait for both short and long term review.

One of the best all-around tire i've ever use. I've change from Yokohama AE-50 and suddenly found the difference. Low noise even in high speed. More Grip on both dry and wet. Cornering stability is better than before. The value also high because it cost less 30-40% than tire from other high-end brands. I love it.

Have changed from the Holden "prefered equipment" of Bridgestone Turunza 215/60R/16/90V ($145.00 each) that were fantastic, but not made in Australia anymore and very expensive to replace, so I looked up reports and reviews and came up with the Continental UC6 ($104.00each) at a discount price from a local fitter. They are grippy, quiet and responsive and the car is getting better fuel miles than before. I have seen some reviews saying these were expensive, but I disagree, cheaper, better and more effective than the competition. I will fit another set for sure.
Just bought this set of continental UC6 tires right after my Yokohama Advan Fleva V701. The suspension set up is an adjustable coilovers. The dry and wet are incredible. The tires are way much quieter and more comfortable. It makes it more fun to drive as compare to the previous tires. Will review more after a couple of mileage.
I am not familiar with continental tire and confusing with the model names called "ultra". I read the review that shows good response then I give a a green buy. About the comfort and noise, it is excellent. But for handling and safety at high speed, I will say so so and make me worry as I like to cruise at high speed. I put this one to my Estima that I plan to for more comfort and less noise cruising. I realize that it is not a best choice for UC6 as it is too soft y for the side wall. Mfg tire pressure is 33psi that has give you the body rolling over when cornering and bouncing when travelling straight line. To improve it, I purposely add in 1-2 psi to increase the stiffness of side wall. Yes, it helps. I was choosing between BS GR100 and Conti MC5. Thus, next time I shall have consult with expert to have a better handling performance tire but also enjoy the comfort and quiet at versatile choice.
I AM VERY SATISFY THIS TYRE BECAUSE IT.S REALLY GOOD FOR SEMI-PERFORMANCE CAR, DRY GRIP AND WET GRIP ALSO VERY WELL, NEVER WILL LOST CONTROL OR SOUND WHEN CORNERING.
THE COMFORT WILL STILL GOOD BECAUSE NOT MUCH NOISY, BUT WHEN PASSING RUGGED ROAD WILL HAVE A BIT OMISSIONS. SO FAR YES, I WILL RECOMMEND THIS TYRE, IT'S SAFE AND FUN.
The difference between Dunlop Enasave Ec 300 and Continental UC6 is big. I can go 100kph without realizing it with my Mazda 2 sedan. I find that the dry and wet grip of the tire is very good if compared to my original stock Dunlop tire. I'm not sure about the wear rate as i've just fitted the tire for only 2 months. UC 6 might not have the same comfort level with the CC6 but for a tire meant for handling and griping, i find it surprisingly comfortable. The downside of the tire is that it costs me a fortune even though it was made in Malaysia , my own country, the price shouldn't be setting that high. Overall i would recommend UC 6 to those who wish to seek for good handling and comfort if one dont wish to use sport tires .
