I drive a VW Golf 8 and need to buy new summer tires soon. I can get the same size (205/55 R16) from both brands at similar prices. Does anyone have experience with both models? I'm mainly interested in wear, wet braking performance, and how long they last.
Both are solid tires for your Golf, but the PremiumContact usually has a slight edge in wet braking performance in tests - which is your focus. When it comes to wear, they're relatively comparable, though a lot depends on your driving style. Do you have information on which specific generation of PremiumContact it is (6 or 7), and do you drive mainly long distances or a lot of city traffic? That would help figure out which one suits you better.
