Description

  • New design with high mileage and robust construction

With the new UltraContact, Continental therefore now offers a summer tyre with very high mileage and the usual safety standards.

    Does what it says

    Decent grip dry and wet, but they took a few hundred km to feel bedded in. No squirm even on hot asphalt. Nothing fancy, but fair for the price.

  • Sabine L.02/01/2026

    Does the job well

    Does the job, nothing more. For daily commuting it's perfectly fine. Stable and precise in summer heat.

  • Marco S.09/18/2025
    5.0 / 5

    Great value for money

    The car feels more stable in crosswinds since fitting these. Good tyre overall. No squirm even on hot asphalt.
