Continental Sport Contact 6 Reviews - Page 5

Given 73% while driving a Audi RS 5 (265/35 R19) on mostly country roads for 12,000 spirited miles
Ratings are for tyre on a warm summer day.
Put these onto an RS5 at the start of summer. In the warm weather the grip was stunning both wet and dry, never driven anything like it on a warm, dry summer day.
Unfortunately they are not so good in the cold particularly when also wet. Cold wet day, first time I have ever had a Quattro slide having had a range of tyres on various Quattros. Wear is not great either, certainly for the price, will now be getting rid of them despite only about 80% worn.

Audi (245/30 R20) on a combination of roads for 12 average miles
Its my wife's car that the 245/30R20 are on and for grip & handling in the dry they are "very good",most tyres today for this price range are. Its when it come to the wet that these stand out as one of the best I've driven on in the wet. Price & wear should be the last thing you need to worry about if you are driving a $80 to $110k car. Yes you can buy cheaper or buy ones that gives more mileage. If the roads have been dry for a week or two & it starts to rain and someone pulls out quickly in front of you, because you have left space & stops & you hit the brakes & end up in there boot, I Bet price & wear is the last thing on your mind, Its times like this I'm glad we purchased Continental Sport Contact 6, I do rotate every 3,000 miles

Fantastic grip when cornering in the dry. I haven't driven on them in the wet much, but when I have there haven't been any grip issues (vehicle is AWD.)

As far as comfort and noise go- I can't say they rate too highly on my vehicle. You can feel every bump and the road noise on coarse road surfaces is very pronounced. I'll be dropping the pressures a little bit to see if that improves things. The vehicle is lowered along with other suspension mods.

The rim protector is very slim and is useless for even minor rubs on kerbs when parking.

If you want lots of grip- buy them. The short life span posted in other reviews doesn't concern me as I only average around 3000km per year.

These tyres have very fragile sidewalls. A single hard kerbing incident can cut through to the structural cord and so destroy the tyre and enforce an expensive replacment. Rival makes are a bit tougher in this respect.

Excellent grip in dry and wet. Only problem is too quick wear for that kind of money.

I've purchased there tyres to replace the almost 3 seasons old SportContact 5P. While the tyres have great handling and response, after around 10K miles I was forced to change them as they were done, completely erased. I replaced all the tyres this summer with Michelin PilotSport 4S and now after 10K miles they are at their half life. I not purchasing these again.

I have been using the sc6 from the sc5 sp.
The main thing i noticed from the sc6 is that it has a more balanced feel from the steering wheel compared to the sc5.
The sc5 tends to lock the steering at 10 and 2 o'clock; the sc6 turns in any direction without the added weight.
Noise is noticeably lower too from the sc5.
The main reason that is holding me back from purchasing the sc6 again is the immature tyre wear.
I have had the tyres for about 8 months now and it's almost kaput.
Nonetheless, it's a great tyre for daily driving, comfortably or when that extra precision is needed when the roads opens up.
Cheers..

These were fitted on my rears, I also have the same tyres 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 tyre after all. I have to say the wear pattern is very nice and gradual. Overall a great tyre 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.

Given 65% while driving a BMW 520d Tourer (245/40 R19 W) on mostly motorways for 932 average miles
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.

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 tyres 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 tyres 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.
