Securing the second spot out of ten contenders, the Continental PremiumContact 7 made a notable impression with a final rating denoting it as 'Exemplary'. This tire distinguished itself as a top performer with a well-balanced high-performance potential, showcasing dynamic and sporty handling on dry surfaces coupled with precise steering response and excellent feedback. It also demonstrated very good safety margins against aquaplaning, boasting short braking distances on both wet and dry roads, and the benefit of fuel-saving rolling resistance. A notable downside, however, is its high price level. Its supremacy was particularly evident in several key areas, including its unmatched performance in aquaplaning - longitudinal, dry handling, rolling resistance, wet braking, and wet circle cornering, underlining its exceptional capabilities across a broad range of critical performance metrics.
