This tyre scored a good overall rating of 56%, with its top feature being its cross Aquaplaning performance. However, it stood 8th in both the Autozeitung and Autobild tests, which counted a total of 9 and 55 tyres respectively.

This touring tyre made in France, Slovakia, Germany, and the Czech Republic is the latest in a line of previous models - PremiumContact 6 and ContiPremiumContact 5. It received a stellar overall rating of 97%, proving its worth in test performance.


The PremiumContact 7 stood first in both the Autozeitung and Autobild tests affirming its high performing characteristics. Its strengths encompass a wide range of aspects, such as wet safety, wet handling, dry braking, dry handling and excellent wet and dry cornering stability. The tyre test data does not explicitly mention any weaknesses for this model. Evidently, the Continental PremiumContact 7 boasts top-notch performance in terms of safety, braking, and handling on both wet and dry roads.


In summary, both tyres have notable features, but the Continental PremiumContact 7 clearly outshines the Maxxis Premitra HP5 in performance and ratings.
