The Continental Premium Contact 6 appears in 46 independent comparative tire tests in our database. Across those results it earns a Tire Lab Score of 94/100 — rated "Excellent" among Summer tires. The score is a weighted average of its per-category performance relative to the winner of each test it entered, so a tire only scores highly by beating strong competition rather than by appearing in easy tests.
Where it shines. Across published test rankings the Continental Premium Contact 6 is consistently competitive in wet braking. In wet braking specifically it averages a #3.3 finish across 45 ranked results, including 11 outright wins. Wet braking is the single most safety-relevant number in any tire test, so it carries the heaviest weight in the score above.
Who should buy it. The Continental Premium Contact 6 suits drivers who prioritise wet braking and do not face severe winter conditions. Before buying, check the size you need is actually offered — performance varies between sizes, and test results are published for one specific size at a time.
