Tyres: Continental MaxContact MC6 Tyre Launched in Malaysia

Continental Tyre has launched the replacement of the very popular MaxContact MC5 tyre with the very logically named MaxContact MC6. According to Continental, the tyre is not just a successor of the MC5 but it is supposedly an even sportier tyre than before. The new MaxContact MC6 promises to deliver significant improvement in wet and dry handling, wet braking, and mileage performance. The MC6 rounds up the '6' series of tyres on sale here in Malaysia - the CC6, UC6, Sport Contact 6 and now the MC6.

Continental Tyre has just launched the MaxContact MC6 tyre here in Malaysia. It will be replacing the popular MaxContact MC5 and it is another installment in Continental's 6th generation tyre lineup. The tyre is designed and engineered with the Asia Pacific region in question and is actually locally produced in Malaysia (as well as in China for certain sizes and 20inches above over in Europe).

Our Cars: The W204 C180 needs and gets new tyres - Continental MC5

It seems so fast. It has already been two and a half years since I purchased the Mercedes Benz w204 C180. In mileage terms, I have done slightly over 40,000km in it and it now needs new tyres. The car came with expensive Continental CSC5 tyres (which recently came up tops in EVO's tyre of the year recently). That tyre was good in the dry, good in the wet and quite quiet on most road surfaces. It was consistent in its grip and its give. It was predictable too and you could give the C180 a shove out of junctions so that the tail would wag a little when turning left or right. I suppose that this is because it is a top dollar tyre. Top dollar prices too.
