The Pattern
PremiumContact 6

A premium summer tyre built for sharp handling and strong braking on dry and wet roads.

The PremiumContact 6 is Continental's premium touring tyre for saloons, coupes, crossovers and larger SUVs. It uses a silica-based compound for confident grip and short braking distances in both dry and wet conditions, while a macroblock tread pattern keeps steering precise and cornering stable at higher speeds. Certain sizes carry technologies such as ContiSeal for self-sealing punches, ContiSilent for reduced interior noise, or self-supporting runflat construction. It is also approved for electric and hybrid cars.
