Hi Guys,
I am looking for new tire, went to the tyre shop and they recommended the new continental ultracontact 6, the thread looks beautiful. The sales person claims that this new tyre is excellent in both wet and dry road condition, grip is good, and very quiet but no mention about handling i am afraid it will be too soft.
my tyre size is 225/55/R17, mitsubishi ASX. They quote me RM428/pcs, is the price ok?
So all sifu-sifu here, anyone of you have ever tried this tyre? how is the performance? wet/dry grip, handling and noise level ok or not?
also, anyone can share what is the threadwear of this tyre?
I am currently using Toyo T1sport, but the performance was so-so only did not suprise me in anyway. Not very quiet or comfort and not very sporty. Previous used bridgestone re002 and gr100, t1sport's performance is somewhere in between these 2 model but the price is way above them.

UC6 is the 2nd lowest performance level tire from Continental, just above their lowest/basic model the CC6. So forget about performance if you choose this tire, it's not meant for that! At best the performance should maybe only match the BS GR100 that you've used before, nowhere near the RE002 or the T1 Sport. If you want performance from Continental then must choose Conti Sport Contact 5 (CSC5) and that is a damn fantastic tire, surely better than T1 Sport or even the newer RE003, but also expensive. I'm using that one now and no regret whatsoever, the best tire I've ever used.
