In a side-by-side comparison of the Continental PremiumContact 6 and the Avon ZV7, there are significant differences to consider when choosing between these two tyres. Both are summer tyres but their performance differs greatly in various tests.


The Continental PremiumContact 6 is a high-performance tyre known for its balanced capabilities, high driving safety, and good performance on both dry and wet roads. It holds a position of 2 out of 50 in the ADAC test, and comes first in the Autobild test, winning recognition for its exceptional wet braking feature. However, it has been pointed out for some weaknesses in efficiency. On the plus side, the continental tyre boasts of high mileage which is a plus for those seeking durability. The Continental PremiumContact 6 is made in Slovakia, Germany, and Czechia and has inherited its outstanding features from the previous model, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. However, this model has been replaced by a newer model: the Continental PremiumContact 7.


The Avon ZV7, on the other hand, stands at a position of 42 out of 50 in the ADAC test and 17 out of 52 in the Autobild test. It has been criticized for being unbalanced and weak on dry roads. Moreover, it possesses a poor environmental balance, very low mileage, high wear, and sustainability weaknesses which might be crucial points for potential buyers. On the positive side, it is relatively economical. Nevertheless, the Avon ZV7 tyre has not been replaced by a newer model and the manufacturer details for Avon tyres can be found here.


In individual strengths and weaknesses, the Continental tyre scores with its high overall driving safety and top-notch performance in both wet and dry conditions, while the Avon tyre is highlighted for its economic efficiency. However, Avon falls short in terms of overall balanced performance, sustainability, and road performance, especially on dry surfaces.


In conclusion, when considering overall test results, the Continental PremiumContact 6 comes off superior to the Avon ZV7 offering a more balanced, safe, and efficient driving experience. Therefore, continuing the legacy of the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, the Continental PremiumContact 6 delivers an overall better performance in the mutual comparison tests.
