Comparison: Continental PremiumContact 7 vs. Pirelli Cinturato P7 vs. Hankook ION Evo

Today, we're comparing the Continital PremiumContact 7 and the Pirelli Cinturato P7, products from two giants in the tyre industry - Continental and Pirelli.


The Continental PremiumContact 7, sporting a 99% rating from us, is a successor to the popular models Continental PremiumContact 6 and Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. Made in multiple countries including France, Slovakia, Germany, and Czech Republic, this summer tyre represents the touring subType and, to date, has not been replaced by a newer model.


On the flip side, the Pirelli Cinturato P7, a summer tyre with a 75% rating from us, has origins in Italy and Romania. Unlike its Continental counterpart, it's not classified under any subType and has no previous models referenced.


When put to the test, the Continental PremiumContact 7 stood out, placing 1st in both ACE and Autobild tests out of 10 and 55 tyres respectively. The tyre exhibited stellar performance in wet and dry conditions, showcasing its proficiency in braking and handling. This tyre particularly excelled in 'Wet Braking' and 'Dry Braking' among other areas.


With a commendable performance in the Autobild test where it finished 9th and ACE test where it placed 4th, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 held its own. Most impressive was its 'Dry Handling', living up to Pirelli's high standards.


In an autobild 2024 comparison, the Continental PremiumContact 7 was praised for its premium profile, excellent performances on both wet and dry tracks, shortest wet and dry braking distances, and good mileage. Conversely, while the Pirelli Cinturato P7 was recognized for its dynamic steering and handling behavior, it was noted as having satisfactory lifespan and efficiency with a high price level.


To conclude, while both tyres exhibit remarkable performances, it's clear that the Continental PremiumContact 7 commands a slight edge over its Pirelli counterpart, especially when considering overall test positions and performances in different conditions.
