You can buy continental premium contacts in Europe but not an exact version of the stock tyre, that is the point Im making the ones that came with the car were specific to the Chinese market with a Chinese specific rubber compound.

There are numerous threads on how crap the stock tyres are.

We are however going round in circles, at the end of the day the tyres are shite

I'm not entirely sure I'm getting what you're trying to say, especially because you refer to "Continental PremiumContact" in general.

As far as I know, there are at least two versions of the PremiumContact: the numbered ones ("5", "6", etc.) and then there's the "C". I can buy both the numbered ones and the "C" versions in Europe.

Are you saying that the "PremiumContact C" version we have access to here in Europe is different than the "PremiumContact C" version that comes installed in the car?

Genuinely just trying to understand, that's all.

Yes, if you search the forum on the stock tyres subject you will read all about the issues and how the stock tyres are a Chinese market only specific tyre.
