On our quest to get you the best tyres suitable for your vehicle, we're going to delve into a comparison of two highly rated ones: Continental PremiumContact 7 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6.
The Continental PremiumContact 7 is a summer touring tyre designed for passenger cars. Made in several locations, including France, Slovakia, Germany and the Czech Republic, this tyre has an overall rating of 100%, showcasing its high-quality performance in testing. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, made in Germany, also receives a 100% rating, and is a top-tier choice for summer, considered a Ultra High Performance (UHP) tyre.
The Continental PremiumContact 7 offers impressive performance, especially during wet conditions. It's energy efficient with best wet braking capabilities and less sensitive to load changes, outperforming its predecessor and yielding the lowest rolling resistance in tests. However, a flaw in this model can be seen when the tyre is worn, as it tends to drop off more than the competition. Furthermore, though it showcases improved maturity over its predecessor, sporty car enthusiasts may find it slightly less engaging for spirited drives.
In the Goodyear corner, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 shows its prowess as an all-round performer. It merges the safe understeer balance with sporty handling, putting up a formidable competition, especially for the Golf GTI. A notable advantage of this tyre is its excellent performance at worn state during wet braking tests. Additionally, it offers great comfort and low wear. The only slight downside of this tyre is its seeming lack of heat resistance compared to its predecessor, the Asymmetric 5.
Looking at mutual positions in tests, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 came first at the ACE tests, while the Continental PremiumContact 7 came in second. Over at Autobild, of the total 50 tyres tested, the Asymmetric 6 secured 2nd position, and the PremiumContact 7 secured the 5th position.
All considered, it seems that Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 edges out Continental PremiumContact 7 slightly in overall performance and tests. Yet, both tyres showcase strong performances in vital areas, marking them as excellent choices. Please visit Continental and Goodyear to learn more about these tyres.
In conclusion, the perfect tyre depends on your specific driving conditions and requirements. Both these tyres offer unique strengths and few weaknesses, making either a good choice depending on your needs and preferences.
