Comparison: Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 vs. Firestone Roadhawk vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4

In the realm of summer tyres, two notable models stand out: the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 and the Firestone Roadhawk. Both tires have distinctive strengths and weaknesses which we will examine based on comprehensive test data.


First, let's take a look at the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. Made in the Czech Republic, this model boasts impressive performance in several areas. Strong points include significant resistance to aquaplaning and lower interior noise. In the ADAC test, it ranked 3rd out of 16 total tyres, and in the Autobild test, it had a respectable 5th place out of 51 tyres. However, it's important to note that the ContiPremiumContact 5 has since been replaced by the Continental PremiumContact 6.


Next, we look at the Firestone Roadhawk. From the data we have, it seems to excel in dry driving behavior, safety, and wet braking, positioning it firmly in 4th place in the ADAC test and earning it an impressive 3rd place in the Autobild test. It holds an overall rating of 59%. There is currently no newer tyre that replaced this model, making it a viable choice for those consider, Firestone's summer tyre range.


In terms of test rankings, both tyres perform commendably with the Firestone Roadhawk having a slight edge in the Autobild test. While the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 and Firestone Roadhawk have their respective strengths, it appears that the Roadhawk has a broader range of strong points, namely: dry driving behavior, safety, and wet braking, which are crucial for summer road conditions.


Ultimately, the choice between the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 and the Firestone Roadhawk comes down to individual driving preferences, conditions, and requirements. While the Continental tyre shines for its resistance to aquaplaning and hushed interior noise, the Firestone tyre stands out for its safety attributes and balanced behavior in both wet and dry conditions.
