Comparison: Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 vs. Continental PremiumContact 6 vs. Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127

We are comparing two summer tyres in this review: the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 and the Continental PremiumContact 6.

The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 is an Ultra Ultra High-Performance tyre that doesn't have a newer model in line. We rate this tyre 79% for its strong performance in various tests. This tyre showcases its strength in aquaplaning resistance and rolling resistance, earning itself top test positions in Autozeitung and Gute-Fahrt tests. However, it hasn't been able to come first in any of the tests. For detailed information, visit Dunlop's official page here.

On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 6, a touring tyre made in Slovakia, Germany, and Czech Republic, outstandingly performs in both dry and wet conditions. This tyre, which is the successor of the ContiPremiumContact 5, impresses with its wet circle cornering and wet handling, as highlighted in the ADAC test. It even led other tyres in both the Autobild and Gute-Fahrt tests. The Continental PremiumContact 6 is rated 87% by us. Noteworthily, it has also been upgraded to a newer model: Continental PremiumContact 7. For detailed manufacturer information, visit Continental's official page here.

To summarise, if aquaplaning resistance is what you're after, then the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 is a good choice. However, the Continental PremiumContact 6 excels in overall performance tests and exhibits solid capability in both dry and wet conditions, making it a superior choice. Additionally, Continental's PremiumContact series continually evolves, with the PremiumContact 7 offering further improvements and enhancements.

Still, individual driving needs and conditions should always dictate the final tyre choice.
