Comment:
Chosen this tyre as replacement to OEM Bridgestone RE88 predominantly seeking a quiet tyre. The RE88 was very noisy. The Conti PremiumContact 2 is much quiter tyre, but I am bit concerned with its much faster wear. At 4000Km lost about quarter of its life, so I anticipate that at 16000-20000Km I may need new tyres. On the contrary the RE88 lasted for 75000Km (!). Will also try the Bridgestone Turanza ER300.
