Let's compare two summer tyres: the Uniroyal RainSport 5 and the Continental PremiumContact 6, manufactured by Uniroyal and Continental respectively.
The Uniroyal RainSport 5, classified as a UHP (Ultra High Performance) tyre, scores a notable 72% in our rating. This tyre demonstrates excellent performance in Aquaplaning scenarios, both cross and longitudal, and stands out due to its lower noise levels. However, it is found lacking in dry conditions, showing a significant decrease in performance. Furthermore, this tyre is criticized for its environmental impact and sustainability issues, including a shorter lifespan and higher fuel consumption.
Contrarily, the Continental PremiumContact 6, coming in with a superior rating of 87% and classed as a Touring tyre, boasts impressive Wet braking and handling capabilities. It's deemed to be highly balanced, providing increased driving safety - a feature highlighted in the ADAC 2020 tests. Additionally, it showcases an extended lifespan compared to the RainSport 5. The PremiumContact 6, however, falls short in terms of efficiency, according to the test reviews.
When comparing the positions in the ADAC tests, the Continental PremiumContact 6 holds the 1st position out of 15, significantly outperforming RainSport 5's 13th position. The same trend is observed in the AutoBild tests, with the Continental tyre taking the 4th place out of 53, and the Uniroyal coming in at the 19th position.
Overall, the Continental PremiumContact 6 comes out on top when compared to the Uniroyal RainSport 5, firmly placing itself as the superior tyre in both reviews and tests.
Notably, the PremiumContact 6 has since been replaced by a newer model, the Continental PremiumContact 7.
In conclusion, the exceptional performance of the Continental PremiumContact 6 in both wet and dry conditions, its improved lifespan, and superior rankings in tests make it a more reliable and efficient choice over the Uniroyal RainSport 5. However, drivers requiring excellence in Aquaplaning resistance may still find satisfaction with the RainSport 5.
