Comparison: Firestone Roadhawk vs. Continental PremiumContact 7 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Firestone Roadhawk 2

When discussing tyres, it's important to compare top brands like the Firestone Roadhawk and the Continental PremiumContact 7. Both are excellent summer tyres with differing strengths and weaknesses.


The Firestone Roadhawk is rated at 57%, and has been replaced by a newer model, the Firestone Roadhawk 2. Autobild placed the Roadhawk 31st out of 50 in a recent test. However, it is praised for its dynamic handling, short dry braking distances, and good price-performance ratio. Despite these strengths, it has been noted for its increased rolling noise, which could be a disadvantage for some drivers.


On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 7, replacing models such as the Continental PremiumContact 6 and Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, scores a noteworthy 97% in our rating. It was placed 5th out of 50 in the Autobild test and obtained the top rank in the Autoklub test. This tyre stands out for its exemplary performance on both wet and dry surfaces, featuring the shortest wet and dry braking distances. Other top features include wet handling, comfort, and earlier models' sporty dynamic handling. The PremiumContact 7 however, is criticized for its higher price, which might not suit all budgets.


Overall, if you're looking for a tyre with excellent performance and don't mind paying a premium for it, the Continental PremiumContact 7 by Continental is a perfect choice. However, if you're after a sporty handling and a good price-performance ratio, consider the Firestone Roadhawk from Firestone, keeping in mind its newer variant may offer improvements. As always, the 'best' tyre depends significantly on individual needs and preferences.
