QUOTE(ahsam1212 @ Dec 13 2017, 10:46 AM) QUOTE(zeng @ Dec 13 2017, 12:48 PM) Those eco tires do last long as durability is one of their main focus (targeting those who do not want to spend much on tires) but to last that long probably also because of relatively lighter weight cars and not driving & cornering fast at all. Like the previous tires on my wife's car (the crappy Continental CC series), they also show very little wear rate coz she drives slow. Most of the wear was done when I was still driving it in the first 1 year of 20k km mileage, so I worn off the tires more in 20k km compared to her in the next 45k km! |

It's Continental's lowest range tire la, of course the grip is the shittiest too! Corner just a bit faster already making all kinds of squeaking noises and loosing grip in the process, very bad grip performance no matter dry or wet, but again typical of this kind of low end range tires, only cares about softness and low noise while no good for anything else which are more important.i had a skid when i was driving in a carpark while making a turn. |

Yes, its really comfortable and quiet as compared to my previous kumho. no choice then, slowly drive loh |

Or there are other newer products being released already? Because so far I only heard people talking about CC6 or UC6, but those are out in the market one year ago liao, if got newer ones maybe I will try try and see see. To the contrary, CC6 & UC6 are the lowest, shittiest range from Continental! Want good Continental tires then go with CSC5/6, or at the very least the new CPC6, and maybe the MC6 (but not MC5).QUOTE(CallMeBen @ Dec 18 2017, 02:16 PM) So far the latest tyres for Continential in Malaysia is still the same CC6 and UC6 since we don't use any of the WinterContact types over here. You can give them a try if you want where the difference between CC6 and UC6 is that UC6 has better grip in wet condition but then the price is almost double of CC6. Newest/latest doesn't necessarily mean better, you need to look at the product range position if they're low range econo models like these 2 or mid range, or high performance range. Read my comment above. Btw their newest is no more CC6/UC6 but MC6 & Extreme Contact. |

However its FB seems quite active though, promoting all the newer line ups. |

In my opinion, their marketing department seems to put the priorities wrong, official website should always be the most update to date. |

Coz that is where all the spec and size information should be and where people would search for sizes availability.In my opinion, their marketing department seems to put the priorities wrong, official website should always be the most update to date. |

You can consider CC series ONLY if you don't have other better tires available for your size. Otherwise just forget it coz it's crap!the quality still above those budget tyre. but agree with u if got more budget should try MC6. |

QUOTE(SilentStorm @ Dec 21 2017, 09:37 AM) To be honest the aquaplaning part of UC6 wasn't even that good to begin with as after awhile you will notice that the tyres are unable to stop down fully within a short time even if you step hard on the brake already. It can be quite dangerous if you are already used to slowly down only when the distance is near as you might overestimate the capability of your tyres. That is also because the rubber compound is not having good wet traction. It's a hard compound made for longer lasting but no good for anything else!QUOTE(SilentStorm @ Dec 21 2017, 09:40 AM) The CC series is like the really budget type ones, made for those who don't want to spend so much but still prefer to get an original tyre. As the price is cheaper then don't expect it to be as durable as the other type of brands such as Dunlop, usually after one year need to change already. So I would prefer to get a more expensive one that can last longer. To the contrary, as per my comments above, the CC series actually is a very durable tire that will last very long coz it's using harder compound BUT the grip either dry or wet is very poor! Good performance tires always use relatively softer compounds (tread wear rating 320 or below), that's why the rubber can grip the road surface much better, but they would not last as long. Harder rubber on the other hand would not grip as good, as evident also when tires are getting older and the rubber gets even hardened, the grip level keeps deteriorating. Dunlop like any other tire brands also makes all ranges of tires, from shit level ones similar to the Continental CC series to the high performance ones (Dunlop Sportmaxx series), so you cannot just generalize that Dunlop is better. You need see what product range and compare apple-to-apple. |

This is not helping lol, i'm not too familiar with tires. Ive only been reading about the hype on the CC6. so for the price range of the CC6, if you were given a choice what tyre would you go for? (budget)
