In the world of summer tyres, two have caught the eye of many car enthusiasts: the Continental PremiumContact 7 and the Maxxis Premitra HP5. Both these tyres have their strengths and weaknesses, but when compared head to head, certain qualities begin to stand out.


The Continental PremiumContact 7, in particular, has asserted itself as one of the top performers on the market and is the latest model in a highly successful line of summer tyres, following the Continental PremiumContact 6 and Continental ContiPremiumContact 5.

In tests conducted by Autozeitung and Autobild, the Continental PremiumContact 7 has consistently taken top positions, ranking first among the tyres evaluated.


On the other side, we have the Maxxis Premitra HP5. While this tyre hasn't been favored as consistently as its competitor, it still presents a few notable features. Rated at 56% by our tests, its considerable strength lies in its resistance to aquaplaning - cross. However, in the mutual tests carried out by Autozeitung and Autobild, it didn't fare as well as Continental PremiumContact 7, securing the 8th position.

The Maxxis Premitra HP5, while still a good tyre in its own right, falls a bit short when compared to its competitor.
