Ranked #1 of 9
Clinching the top position out of nine contenders, the Continental PremiumContact 7 emerged as the undisputed test winner. Demonstrating a supreme performance under all conditions, this tyre was praised for its ability to handle both wet and dry surfaces with remarkable prowess. On wet surfaces, it showcased exceptional grip, superior aquaplaning resistance, and leading performances across various measures, establishing itself as the top choice for wet conditions. Despite competing brands focusing on energy efficiency, the Continental PremiumContact 7 prioritized overall performance. It boasted the shortest braking distance, the fastest lap times, and the most stable driving experience on dry surfaces, marking it as the winner of the test. However, it's worth noting that for those prioritizing energy savings, this might not be the optimal choice. The tyre excelled in disciplines such as Dry braking, Dry handling, Safety, Wet braking, Wet circle cornering, Wet handling, and Wet safety, showcasing no weak points in its performance.

Securing the second spot out of ten contenders, the Continental PremiumContact 7 made a notable impression with a final rating denoting it as 'Exemplary'. This tire distinguished itself as a top performer with a well-balanced high-performance potential, showcasing dynamic and sporty handling on dry surfaces coupled with precise steering response and excellent feedback. It also demonstrated very good safety margins against aquaplaning, boasting short braking distances on both wet and dry roads, and the benefit of fuel-saving rolling resistance. A notable downside, however, is its high price level. Its supremacy was particularly evident in several key areas, including its unmatched performance in aquaplaning - longitudinal, dry handling, rolling resistance, wet braking, and wet circle cornering, underlining its exceptional capabilities across a broad range of critical performance metrics.
