Detailed head-to-head comparison based on actual test results
When comparing the Bridgestone Turanza 6 and the Continental PremiumContact 7, both summer types, it's clear to see that they have their strengths and weaknesses. These two famed models are from brands recognized globally for their commitment to quality, Bridgestone and Continental, respectively.
The Turanza 6 is an improvement on its predecessor, the Bridgestone Turanza T005, and has been well-received in tests. However, it doesn't quite live up to the counterpart, the Continental PremiumContact 7 with an overall rating of 83% compared to PremiumContact 7's stellar 99% on our site.
Looking closely at the test results, the Continental PremiumContact 7 quite consistently outperformed the Bridgestone Turanza 6, securing first place in the ACE, Automotorsport and Autozeitung tests, while the Turanza 6 only managed fourth, ninth and sixteenth positions respectively. The Turanza 6 was praised for its dry handling and rolling resistance, whereas the PremiumContact 7 shone in wet and dry braking and handling scenarios.
Pros for the Turanza 6 include 'gute Aquaplaningvorsorge and 'ordentliche Nassbremseigenschaften' as per Automotorsport 2024's summary, whilst its limitations lied in wet traction and cornering grip. On the other hand, the PremiumContact 7 piqued with its 'uberragende Haftung' on wet roads, also noted for having good comfort. Still, it was shown to be slightly louder with a higher rolling resistance.
A significant feature to note about both tyres is the differences in their construction. While both offer great handling and performance features, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 is made in Spain, whereas Continental PremiumContact 7 is manufactured in multiple locations including France, Slovakia, Germany, and Czechia.
In conclusion, both the Bridgestone Turanza 6 and the Continental PremiumContact 7 exhibit strengths and weaknesses. However, the PremiumContact 7's extensive features and results in tests clearly give Continental an advantage. Its excellent dry and wet braking and handling capabilities, combined with its high level of comfort, give it an edge that outweighs the Turanza 6's superior rolling resistance.
