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.

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.
