An improvement on the Michelin Energy savers I purchased the car with, and they're cheaper!

I've had the Conti PremiumContact2s on for about 4 months and they've not put a foot wrong.
They stop the car with no fuss very quickly and outcrop the chassis's limit easily.
In the wet I've not driven on better tyres and wet roads feel as safe as in the dry

Full set of these fitted after a Uniroyal disaster, what a relief. Quite a hard ride but that suited me fine. I don't go hurling the car into corners (anymore) must be an age thing! I just want to get around safely and with confidence these tyres provide just that. In dry conditions I have never had any trouble, in the wet I have to be a bit more cautious pulling away from junctions otherwise I spin the wheels, braking in any conditions feels OK, never aquaplaned dispite some close calls on the motorway when suddenly presented with a sea of red lights ahead. I did reasonably well in the heavy snow we had but found that I had better grip in 6" deep fresh snow than 1" deep partially melted slush.
Wear seems good at 28k as it's quite a heavy car, best mileage I have had from any tyre.
I would recommend these tyres as good VFM at about ?55 each for a casual or occasionally spirited driver in a family car.

Had 2 of these fitted to front end with 2 part worn Dunlops at rear, I had all on keeping the car in a straight line on the motorway, it felt as though the tyres were only half inflated, they weren't. Back to the garage to have everything checked all was OK. I tolerated this for about 4k to see if they would bed in but no change so I swapped them to the rear still the same feeling. I put them back on the front and just wore them out as fast as possible. Had 4 Toyo Proxes CF1 fitted and it was such a relief to have the car drive in a straight line again without constant correction, wear looks to be heading for about 25-28k for the Toyo's

Would definately buy the same again and would highly recommend to any mile munchers. Grippy, quiet and responsive, i have finally found a tyre that will stop me spending limitless hours of researching every time i need to replace them as i now wouldnt use anything else.
The only tyre that comes close is the Cooper Zeon CS6 on my Golf GTi.
