Our take

The PremiumContact 6 is a solid choice for drivers who value treadlife and comfort, with its 65,000-mile warranty and high comfort and noise scores. This tire is designed for those who spend a lot of time on the road and want a reliable, long-lasting option.

In the touring all-season category, treadlife and comfort are key priorities, and the PremiumContact 6 delivers on both fronts with a perfect treadlife score and matching comfort and noise ratings to the category benchmarks. However, its wet grip score of 5.5 is a notable weakness, falling below the category average of 6.9, which could affect performance in wet conditions.

Compared to its competitors, the PremiumContact 6 stands out for its dry grip and treadlife but lags behind the BFGoodrich Advantage Control in wet grip. The lack of a 3PMSF rating also means it's not the best choice for those needing light snow capability, unlike some other options in the market.

If wet weather performance is a priority, consider the BFGoodrich Advantage Control. But if your main concerns are longevity and comfort, the PremiumContact 6 remains a strong contender in its class.

Pros

  • Treadlife score of 10 with a 65,000-mile warranty — slightly above the category average of 64,578 miles.
  • Comfort and noise scores both at 8, matching the category benchmarks, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride.
  • Dry grip rating of 8.5 exceeds the category average of 7.8, providing confident handling in dry conditions.

Cons

  • Subpar wet grip performance may be a concern for those frequently driving in rainy conditions.
  • Wet grip score of 5.5 falls short of the category average of 6.9, which may be noticeable in heavy rain.
  • Lacks the 3PMSF certification, unlike some competitors, limiting its capability in light snow conditions.
  • The BFGoodrich Advantage Control offers a better wet grip rating, making it a stronger choice for rainy climates.
