Just installed Continental CC6 last Sunday. Wanted to change it at [A]aronLJW’s place because it was near my house. Unfortunately they don’t open on Sundays so had to do it at Jooi Seng in Klang instead.

I was using Yokohama C-Drive 2 for the past 2-3 years. The Yokohama’s tire compound is really hard and it’s probably designed for a more sporty drive, and not a comfortable one.

Initial impressions of the Continental CC6 are positive:
- The ride quality has improved significantly.
- Road noise is considerably less.
- Glides over bumps a lot better. Those yellow strips in front of tolls and speed bumps used to jolt and judder my car with the C-Drive 2. Now the sensation is a lot more muted.
- Slightly more body roll. Less feedback when going through corners.
- It’s a lot less fatiguing after my commute to and from work.

Overall, I would rate these tires as a 9/10 if you are looking for comfortable tires. No doubt there is less feedback when taking corners but I feel it is a worthy tradeoff just for the extra comfort.

Best of all, these new tires didn’t burn a hole in my pocket. Do give them a try if you are looking for a more comfortable ride.

Great review! But the cornering really cannot make it ah?

CC6 is really designed for comfort, quietness and straight roads only. On straights, my car was more stable at 150 km/h whereas with my previous tires, I was only comfortable going up to 140 km/h. When taking corners, I really have to slow down a lot because can feel the car body rolling over. So it depends on your driving style: leisurely, can go fast on straights and don't mind slowing down in all the corners, then this tires will suit you.
