245/55R17 Continental PremiumContact 6 – EV Compatible Performance Summer

Category: Summer – Grand Touring

The Continental PremiumContact 6 is a grand touring summer tire that provides a truly premium experience. Maximum wet braking while improving mileage thanks to engineered crystal silica compounds extend driving convenience through a comfort-optimised performance footprint. The PremiumContact 6 has handling optimized for sporty driving while keeping the safety performance at the maximum level.

XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 106 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 950 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
  • Speed Rating H indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 210 km/h under proper load and inflation.
  • Summer tires are built for warm weather grip and should not be used as winter tires in Ontario or Quebec cold weather conditions.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
  • Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
