Looking for a comparison of Continental PremiumContact 7 to tyres that are made in similar dimensions? Here you can find detailed information based on tests, reviews and manufacturer's data.
The Continental PremiumContact 7 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 represent two of the strongest premium summer tyres currently available — but they are built around different philosophies. The PremiumContact 7, the latest evolution of a line that includes the PremiumContact 6 and ContiPremiumContact 5, is a high-scoring touring tyre rated 97/100 on our scale and aimed squarely at drivers who want well-rounded, safe, and comfortable everyday performance. The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 — successor to the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 — is a UHP tyre rated 92/100, more focused on grip, dynamics, and driving feel, yet still impressively efficient.
Looking at their shared test results, the Goodyear holds a consistent edge across most mutual comparisons. In the Sportauto test (7 tyres), the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 finished 2nd while the PremiumContact 7 placed 4th. In a large-scale Autobild test of 50 tyres, the pattern repeated — Goodyear 2nd, Continental 5th. The Autozeitung test of 10 tyres saw the Goodyear take 1st place, with Continental following in 2nd. The ACE 2023 test mirrored this exactly — Goodyear 1st, Continental 2nd. The one notable exception is Aftonbladet, where the Continental took 2nd out of 10 while the Goodyear dropped to 8th — indicating the Continental may perform more consistently on colder or wetter Scandinavian-style roads.
In terms of character, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the sportier and more dynamic choice. Sportauto named it the sportiest tyre in the test, praising its highest cornering grip level with a very neutral vehicle balance, direct and precise steering, best rolling resistance among premium tyres (8.4 kg/t), and the quietest pass-by noise at 68.1 dB(A). Autobild in 2026 crowned it the eco champion with the highest predicted mileage, while also shining in all driving disciplines. Earlier testing confirmed excellent wet safety reserves, strong lateral guidance, and outstanding mileage — along with the best price-to-value ratio in its class. Its weaknesses include nervousness under load changes, a narrow safety margin at the limit, and minor lateral aquaplaning deficits.
The Continental PremiumContact 7 is the more composed, comfort-focused alternative. It's described across multiple tests as an all-round performer with exceptional wet handling, high comfort, and strong aquaplaning reserves — particularly in longitudinal aquaplaning, where it earns best-in-class marks in several tests. Autobild 2025 highlighted its very good aquaplaning reserves, short braking distances, dynamic handling, and convincing mileage. The ACE test praised its sportily dynamic handling, precise turn-in, and good economy. Its consistent weakness is price — the PremiumContact 7 is frequently noted as the most expensive candidate in the tests it enters.
Verdict: If dynamic performance, efficiency, and outstanding mileage are your priorities, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the stronger choice — it wins or finishes near the top in the majority of shared tests and brings genuine sportiness alongside impressive real-world economy. If you prefer a more refined, comfort-oriented tyre with excellent wet safety — particularly aquaplaning control — and a more predictable all-weather character, the Continental PremiumContact 7 is a highly capable premium option, albeit at a premium price. Both are excellent tyres, but the Goodyear edges ahead where it counts most.
