Comparison: Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 vs. Continental PremiumContact 7 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Goodyear Efficientgrip 2 SUV vs. Falken e.Ziex

The Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 and Continental PremiumContact 7 are two well-rated summer tyres, but they cater to different market segments and come with their own strengths and weaknesses.


The Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 is an ultra-high-performance (UUHP) tyre with an overall rating of 85%. In tests, this tyre performs exceptionally well in dry handling, wet braking, and wet circle cornering, while also delivering solid wet handling. However, these qualities are somewhat offset by the Pirelli's limited mileage and premium price, which could affect its overall value proposition over time.


On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 7 is a touring tyre with a stellar rating of 99%. Manufactured across various countries such as France, Slovakia, Germany, and the Czech Republic, this tyre stands out for its excellent aquaplaning resistance, rolling resistance and wet and dry braking performance. Furthermore, tests reveal reserves in aquaplaning situations, short braking distances, dynamic handling, impressive mileage, and very good cost-performance. However, like the Pirelli, the Continental PremiumContact 7 comes with a higher price tag - a factor that could affect its consideration in a highly competitive market segment.


Mutual test results place the Continental PremiumContact 7 consistently ahead of the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4. For instance, in the Autozeitung and ACE tests, the Continental ranked 2nd while the Pirelli occupied the 5th spot. The Autobild 2025 also revealed dynamic handling and impressive mileage for the Continental, whereas the Pirelli fell short in terms of mileage.


In the end, choosing between these two depends on what you value most in a tyre. If your needs lean more towards performance, the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 would be a suitable option. However, for longevity and cost-effectiveness, the Continental PremiumContact 7 would be the preferred choice.
