In summary, the Continental PremiumContact 6 ranks consistently higher than its competitor in all the tests. Its strengths lie mainly in the Dry and Wet Handling, Dry Lane Changing, Mileage, and Price/Value aspects. The Toyo Proxes T1 Sport, although faltering in comparative position, is appreciated for Exterior Noise and Dry Steering Response. Therefore, considering the overall strengths and weaknesses, the Continental PremiumContact 6 appears to be the superior choice between the two.
