Ranked #1 of 11
Securing the top position among 11 competitors, the Continental SportContact 7 showcased an outstanding performance, ultimately earning a final rating of "Outstanding." Testers praised the tyre for its highly balanced handling and short braking distances on wet surfaces, alongside a very high grip level during braking and cornering on dry roads, complemented by very stable, quick handling. However, they noted a slight drawback in terms of cornering grip on wet surfaces not being at the very top level and an increased pass-by noise. The tyre stood out in several disciplines, achieving the best results in dry braking, dry handling, objective dry handling, dry lane changing, wet braking, and wet handling, thereby affirming its superior performance across a broad range of critical areas.
