Also compare with
PremiumContact 7 leads on wet safety and EV readiness; PremiumContact 6 wins on size range, comfort and running costs.
Continental's premium summer range currently spans two generations of the same concept — and understanding why both remain on sale is the key to buying the right one. The Continental PremiumContact 7 is the current generation: a tyre that shot straight to the top of European test rankings and carries Continental's most advanced wet-weather technology. The Continental PremiumContact 6, its direct predecessor, hasn't been retired — it stays in the lineup because its vast size coverage, refined comfort and strong mileage performance serve drivers the newer model's more limited range cannot yet reach.

It's Continental's current benchmark in this class, and for EV drivers it's the only sensible option in this family. The Continental PremiumContact 6 remains an excellent tyre in its own right: its sheer size breadth, better comfort, lower rolling resistance and proven long-term mileage make it a compelling recommendation for drivers in unusual fitments, comfort-oriented motorway users, and those where fuel economy is a priority. As the PC7 range expands, the PC6 will gradually transition into a legacy option — but right now, it covers real-world fitments and real-world needs that the newer model still cannot.
