Ranked #1 of 8
Securing the top position among eight competitors, the Continental PremiumContact 7 emerged as the undeniable test winner, a testament to its outstanding performance. Testers lavished praise on the tyre for its exceptional grip on wet surfaces and its capability to prevent aquaplaning reliably. Its strong adherence and precision on dry curves further cemented its reputation, alongside notable ride comfort. However, it wasn't without its drawbacks; a slightly louder rolling noise and increased rolling resistance, which could impact fuel efficiency, were noted. What set this tyre apart in the competition were its unparalleled achievements across various disciplines. It excelled in Comfort, Dry Braking, Dry Handling (both subjective and objective assessments), Dry Lane Changing, Dry Steering Response, Wet Braking, Wet Handling (again, both subjective and objective assessments), and Wet Side Guide, demonstrating a wide-ranging proficiency that left no aspect of performance wanting.
