Moreover, in tests carried out by autobild 2024, both tyres demonstrated their strengths but faltered in certain areas. The Continental tyre excelled in snow and ice performance and grip, but had average aquaplaning reserves, while the Pirelli tyre had excellent performance and braking on wet and dry roads and had significant safety reserves in aquaplaning but had a satisfactory mileage.
