Comparison: Continental PremiumContact 7 vs. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2

This head-to-head compares the Continental PremiumContact 7 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 across published tyre tests and our in-house ratings. Both are modern summer tyres but target slightly different priorities: the PremiumContact 7 is a touring-focused, efficiency-oriented tyre, while the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is positioned as an ultra-high-performance (UHP) contender with strong wear and value results.


Quick status: neither model has been officially replaced yet. Manufacturer pages: Continental and Goodyear.


Overall scores and test positions: Our aggregated rating puts the PremiumContact 7 at 97% and the Asymmetric 6 at 91%. Independent magazine results are mixed: Goodyear often finishes ahead in comparative tests (Autozeitung: Goodyear 1 vs Continental 2; Autobild and ACE also favour Goodyear with top positions), while some outlets (Aftonbladet) placed Continental higher. Across multiple test houses, Goodyear frequently wins or sits on the podium for dry performance, cost/value and mileage, whereas Continental regularly tops wet braking, aquaplaning and rolling resistance categories.


Continental PremiumContact 7 — strengths


  • Wet braking & aquaplaning: Repeatedly rated among the best in wet braking and aquaplaning tests (AutoBild, TyreReviews, ACE).

  • Low rolling resistance: One of the most efficient tyres on test, contributing to lower fuel consumption.

  • Comfort & noise: Good comfort and controlled exterior noise in real-world and review tests.

  • Balanced dynamism: Sporty handling for a touring tyre while remaining predictable.


Weaknesses: higher price vs some rivals; some testers report the PremiumContact 7 loses more performance as it wears compared with competitors, and it trades a little sporting feel for safety and economy.


Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 — strengths


  • Dry handling & braking: Frequently nominated best-in-class for dry grip, steering precision and track-like predictability (Autobild, TyreReviews).

  • Wear & mileage: Outstanding longevity — several tests highlight exceptional mileage and low wear, plus a strong cost/value ranking.

  • Comfort & noise: Excellent ride comfort and low exterior noise in multiple tests.

  • All-rounder results: Very balanced: strong wet performance when worn (notably best worn wet braking in TyreReviews).


Weaknesses: minor criticism around heat resistance on track compared with some predecessors (Asymmetric 5); otherwise few practical negatives.


Head-to-head verdict: If you prioritise wet-weather safety, low rolling resistance and the highest combined score in our rating, the PremiumContact 7 is the superior all-round choice. If your priority is dry performance, long mileage, the best price/value and frequent independent test wins, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the better pick. In summary: Continental wins on wet safety and efficiency; Goodyear generally wins comparative tests for dry dynamics, wear and economics.


Choose Continental for maximum wet confidence and efficiency; choose Goodyear for sportier dry handling, lower running costs and top-ranked value in many test comparisons.
