If you like to take a look at the full test it can dowloaded here in finnish:

Overall winner of that test was continental contipremiuncontact 2. |
thank you for the info and the link, but unfortunately most all those tires are not available here in the states under those specific model names, and the tires that we have available readily are not tested in that report.
the odder thing yet, is that the premiumcontact2 in the USA is not even rated as a LRR tire.
