For the second consecutive year, the ContiPremiumContact 2 has received a commendation from leading consumer publication, Auto Express, as part of its Product Honours 2008 feature. Auto Express said: “The PremiumContact 2 is a great all rounder that delivers top performance across all types of driving and was an easy choice for our commendation.”

The magazine tested the UK’s top brands to assess their handling and braking capabilities on both wet and dry roads. Auto Express also considered aquaplaning resistance, cabin noise, fuel economy and price.

Peter Robb, product manager at Continental said: “We are delighted to have been commended by Auto Express. The ContiPremiumContact 2 is a popular choice with car manufacturers as an original equipment fitting to their latest generation cars. This test result is proof of its outstanding performance.”
