Saw news that continental has completed a new tyre plant in thailand, so possible that higher end products can be marketed in this region with more favourable pricing, just like the ps4.

I guess i should rephrase my comments earlier, as the news states that some major machinery are on site, not the actual official running of the plant tongue.gif

But now doubt, this new plant will likely be online within this year biggrin.gif

I have been using UC6 for the past 3 months or so.  Grip is ok on dry road but wet road still bearable for the price range.  However the sidewall of this tire is EXTREMELY weak.  I don't think UC stand for UltraContact, to be its more UselessContact.  This will be my last time using this tire.  Spoke to people at Conti, they agree that this tire compound is way too soft.  He said to increase tire pressure, go above car manufacturer's tire pressure recommendation.

Previously which tyre you are using and what is the thread wear rating for UC6?
