Ranked #1 of 6
The Continental UltraContact NXT secured the top position out of six competitors, earning an 'Outstanding' rating in the evaluation. It impressed the testers with its particularly balanced overall performance, featuring the shortest braking distances and secure, well-balanced handling on wet surfaces. On dry asphalt, the tire displayed pronounced understeering with high cornering stability and offered low rolling resistance. It excelled notably in disciplines like dry handling, objective dry handling, dry lane changing, and wet braking. A minor shortcoming was noted in braking on dry surfaces, but overall, the tire demonstrated an exemplary performance.
