These are the second set of Continentals that I have had over the past 3 years and they are the absolute best tyres I have ever used. I drive on all sorts of roads including black ice, snow, rain and in heat and they make me feel completely safe on the road not matter what I am driving on.

These tyres produced low-frequency noise on the rough road, but they are quiet on the highway with the 18" stock wheel. The ride is comfortable due to a soft sidewall that is able to suppress the vibration, but it can feel a little bumpy on uneven road surfaces. It is better comfortable than the S1 Evo3 SUV that I have taken off. Shorter braking distances in wet and dry weather. Good rolling resistance, and the mileage has somewhat increased from 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres to 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres. Overall, I am happy with the MC6.

A month or so 215/45R17 1000 May 22, 2022
I got these tyres as a replacement for Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres which, even after 5 years, were grippy and direct. The MaxContact MC6 matches the PS3s for grip in dry and wet conditions, both cornering and braking. They give less road feedback overall, so I find myself not quite trusting them until I'm already in a corner and the tyres just keep on gripping like it's no big deal. So far, these tyres seem completely unfazed by anything I've thrown them into. As a bonus, they're much quieter than the PS3s, even in average speed city driving. Not sure yet of longevity, but no regrets so far.

About a year 245/45R19 24000 May 19, 2022
Got them last year on a good special. Excellent dry and wet grip but have worn a bit quicker than previous tyres (eg Michelin PS3 and Goodyear Eagle). Would buy again if still cheaper than those but wouldn't pay full price given the tread wear.

Changed to these from Conti PremiumContact5 and thought the MC6 would be a downgrade but was pleasantly surprised. The MC6 felt more sporty while having nearly the same comfort level, while providing excellent grip in the wet. The steering response is sharp and the tire had plenty of grip in the wet despite having a harder compound.

These tyres are excellent and replaced my OEM Dunlops - which I didn't particularly like. The Continental MC6 are far quieter and have superior grip. I'm not sure about the mileage as I've only done 1000km but so far so good. Would def buy again
