Will wait for the newer cpc5 to give it a try

Absolutely agree!

As I've mentioned previously, this tire is just the 2nd lowest level of Continental models, hence no surprise it's lousy!    It's only designed for comfort & silence and not much else. Continental naming convention is always aimed at fooling the customers like this Ultra Contact and Max Contact which mislead customers to thinking that they're very high performance with superb grip while in fact those models are just low end to mid range with mediocre grip performance.

Yup of course, CPC series is higher than UC. UC is just slightly better than CC series so only 2nd lowest model, while CPC is mid range borderline to UHP category. I'd even say CPC is also better than MC5!

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.
