We can't control the weather, but we can keep you in control. The PremiumContact™ 6 "Safety Silica Compound" ensures constant grip on wet and dry roads meaning you can rely on us to stop... even if the rain doesn’t.
Our enhanced contact surface and pattern stiffness not only lower the interior noise but improve mileage and comfort. We call this comfort optimised performance footprint. So you can simply enjoy your journey for as long as you want to.
The intelligent macroblock design provides maximum control and cornering stability even at higher speeds, improves grip performance for sporty driving and transmits more power from your car to the asphalt. That means simply: you’re in control.

About our PremiumContact™ 6:
+ Best in wet and dry braking
+ Good in wet and dry handling
- Worst in pass-by noise
- Worst in value
The wet grip rating indicates how well the tire will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to class E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.
Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tires deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing for each subsequent class through to E.
This is the external rolling noise generated by the tire, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A to C.
In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tires only).
With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tires.
