My front tyres are ready for replacement. The car came fitted with Continental Sport Contact 2s in 225/40/R18 Y92 flavour and I've been perfectly happy with them, in terms of wear and both wet and dry grip, so the 'easy option' would be to just have the tyre shop fit the same again.
I notice that Continental have recently released the Premium Contact 6, however, replacing both the Sport Contact 5 and the Premium Contact 5 in the 18" size (the Sport Contact 6 is only available in 19"+ sizes) and was wondering if anyone has any experience of these? The only reviews I can find online are Continental's own and one by www.tyre-reviews.co.uk.
My driving style is best described as 'sedate', a mixture of round-town pottering and motorway/dual carriageway cruising, certainly nothing that ever challenges grip levels (Mrs Wife being quite possibly the most travelsick person on the planet!).
