Continental - summer tyres 2024 - market overview, tests, reviews

Compare Continental summer tyres made in your size:


In this comprehensive analysis, we have selected a handful of Continental summer tyres based on recent test results, focusing on their performance, safety, and value. While numerous options are available in the market, our reviews and test outcomes concentrate on a curated selection that showcases standout models in Continental's line-up.


**Continental PremiumContact 7**: This latest generation tyre has replaced its predecessors, the Continental PremiumContact 6 and ContiPremiumContact 5, and continues to impress across multiple tests. In 2024, it secured top positions in tests conducted by Vibilagare, ACE, Sportauto, and Automotorsport. The Sportauto test particularly highlighted its exceptional grip on both wet and dry roads, noting its excellent steering precision and high aquaplaning resistance. One test by Automotorsport commended its remarkable grip, precise handling, and reliable performance, although it noted a slightly higher rolling noise and resistance.


**Continental SportContact 7**: Building on the success of its predecessors—SportContact 6, 5, and 3—this model is perfect for ultra-high-performance (UHP) applications. It was declared a test winner by Autozeitung in 2023 and earned high praise from Autobild for its convincing performance and superb handling on both wet and dry surfaces. The tyre demonstrates excellent balance and short braking distances while maintaining good aquaplaning resistance. However, some tests noted mildly elevated noise levels. It emerged as a top contender in multiple evaluations, solidifying its place as a reliable choice for performance enthusiasts.


Both the PremiumContact 7 and SportContact 7 exemplify Continental's commitment to delivering high-quality tyres, achieving exceptional rankings in various independent tests, thereby ensuring enhanced safety and driving pleasure.
