Let's compare two premium tyres - the Bridgestone Turanza 6 and the Continental PremiumContact 7. Both are summer tyres offering excellent performance, but there are some differences that may sway your decision.

Starting with the Bridgestone Turanza 6, manufactured by Bridgestone, this tyre is rated at 87% on our website. The Turanza 6 performs exceptionally well in dry handling and rolling resistance. It consistently ranks in the top half in tyre tests, notably securing 4^th and 6^th positions at Automotorsport and ACE respectively. However, it falls a bit short when it comes to wet road performances.

On the other hand, we have the Continental PremiumContact 7 from Continental, which has scored a perfect 100% on our website. Replacing the Continental PremiumContact 6 and the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, this tyre is remarkable for its performances in both wet and dry conditions. The PremiumContact 7 outshone other tyres in numerous tests, clinching 1^st position at ACE, Automotorsport, and Autozeitung.

In head-to-head comparisons, the PremiumContact 7 often shines brighter. Superior in dry braking, wet braking, dry handling, and wet handling, this tyre also offers top-tier safety and comfort. Despite a slightly noisier rolling noise and increased rolling resistance, the Continental PremiumContact 7 proves to be a well-rounded choice.

The Turanza 6, though not at the same level as the PremiumContact 7, is still a sound choice for dry conditions. Its most significant strengths lie in its fuel-efficiency and performing well in dry handling. Nevertheless, the Turanza 6 shows limitations in wet traction and exhibits a bit of a rough ride over transverse joints.

In summary, if you're looking for absolute top performance and don't mind the slight noise and rolling resistance, the Continental PremiumContact 7 would be your tyre of choice.

But if you want a fuel-efficient tyre with excellent dry handling characteristics, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 could be a compelling option.

Always consider your driving conditions and preferences when choosing the right tyre for your vehicle.
