The Continental PremiumContact 7 and the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 are two touring summer tyres with high ratings in several tests.


The Continental PremiumContact 7, successor to the Continental PremiumContact 6 and Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, shines with a top rating of 100%. Manufactured in France, Slovakia, Germany, and the Czech Republic, this Continental model excels in various areas. In the Autobild test, it ranks second out of 10 tyres and shows its strength particularly in Aquaplaning - longitudinal, Dry handling, Rolling resistance, Wet braking, and Wet circle cornering. Autozeitung ranked it first out of 9 tyres due to its superb performance in Dry braking, Dry handling, Safety, and Wet conditions. It stands out as well in the Autoklub ČR test coming first out of 19 tyres. For TyreReviews.com, this Continental model shows its proficiency in Dry and Wet conditions.


Despite its strengths, the Continental PremiumContact 7 is marked down for Average rolling resistance, increased external noise, and high price level. However, it compensates for these with its excellent performance in both Wet and Dry conditions.


On the other hand, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2, successor to the Pirelli P7 Cinturato, also presents strong competition. With a rating of 92%, this Pirelli model delivers strong performance. In the same Autobild test, it ranked 6th with best features particularly in Aquaplaning - longitudinal, Comfort, and Rolling resistance. In the Autozeitung test, it secured the second position, showing its strength in Dry braking. It also gained a respectable fourth position in the Autoklub ČR test.


Whilst the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 has strengths in Dry and Wet handling, and low noise levels, its weaknesses lie in average aquaplaning resistance and slightly prolonged dry braking distances. Despite its high price, it remains a well-balanced tyre with optimal performance in both Dry and Wet conditions.


In conclusion, both the Continental PremiumContact 7 and the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 present strong performances in numerous tests. If you prioritize Wet and Dry handling and overall superior performance, the Continental PremiumContact 7 may be more suited for you. However, if Comfort, minimal noise and balanced performance in both Wet and Dry conditions are your preferences, then the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 could be your better choice.
