The Continental PremiumContact 7 ranks 5th, combining precise steering, strong dry handling (5/10, 1st), and class-leading rolling resistance (417km, 2nd) for efficient performance. However, its weak aquaplaning resistance (81.6 km/h, 6th) and subpar comfort/noise scores (2/10 each) offset its strengths. While ideal for drivers prioritizing fuel efficiency and dry agility, it falls short in wet safety and refinement.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 ranks 4th, delivering strong dry braking (21.9m, 3rd) and reliable wet handling (39.33s, 2nd). While excelling in emergency maneuvers and stability, its sluggish steering response and elevated wet braking distance (26.18m, 6th) reduce engagement compared to sportier rivals.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 secures 3rd place with best-in-class dry and wet braking (36.6m/28.7m) and reliable wet handling. Its safety-focused design falters in aquaplaning resistance (6th straight, 4th lateral) and efficiency (7.9 kg/t rolling resistance), while moderate noise levels and abrupt traction transitions limit refinement.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 secures 2nd place with exemplary wet braking (1) and dynamic handling (1-), ideal for EV safety. While excelling in mileage (2) and offering competitive pricing (€620/set), its elevated rolling resistance (3+) and poor aquaplaning (2-) limit efficiency and wet stability.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 (225/45 R17 Y9) tied for second place, delivering best-in-test dry braking and precise wet handling with predictable steering feedback. Its superior grip and control in all conditions come with trade-offs: elevated road noise and higher rolling resistance impacting fuel efficiency.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 dominated wet testing with best-in-class braking and straight aquaplaning resistance, paired with reliable dry traction and balanced handling. Despite its safety-focused performance, it ranked as the noisiest tire (73.2 dB) and exhibited slight rear instability in wet cornering.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 achieved a "sehr gut" rating with a score of 1.4 by showcasing excellent aquaplaning reserves, short braking distances, dynamic handling, and convincing mileage. Its balanced performance across critical safety and efficiency criteria makes it an optimal choice for EV drivers.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 clinches the "Green Tire" title and earns the "Eco-Champion" designation by combining precise braking performance, outstanding mileage, and low tire wear with strict adherence to safety standards. Its innovative design reduces resource consumption and noise pollution, delivering an eco-friendly option without compromising aquaplaning or braking efficacy.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 delivered exceptional wet performance, securing the shortest wet braking distance (41.8m from 100 km/h) and matching Bridgestone’s legacy in wet discipline scoring. Its predictable behavior and superior rolling comfort set benchmarks, though Bridgestone edged ahead in sportier lateral stability.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 stands out in the Sportauto Summer Tire Test for R18 tires, securing the top position with outstanding performances across the board. It leads in dry braking and handling, showcasing exceptional control and stability. In wet conditions, it continues to excel, leading in braking, handling, and wet circle tests, illustrating its superior grip and safety. While it ranks fourth in straight hydroplaning, its performance is still commendable, and it tops the chart again in lateral hydroplaning, emphasizing its high protection against hydroplaning. The tire's noise level is low, though not the quietest, and its rolling resistance is efficient, contributing to overall vehicle efficiency.

The Continental PremiumContact 7, tying for the top spot in the AUTO BILD summer tire test with a grade of 1.4, showcases impressive versatility and high performance under both wet and dry conditions. Its adept handling makes it an excellent choice for various driving scenarios, from everyday commutes to more demanding camping trips. The tire's dynamic and sporty handling on dry roads, combined with precise steering and significant feedback, enhances driving pleasure and control. It also offers robust safety features, particularly in hydroplaning situations, and ensures short stopping distances regardless of the road being wet or dry. Additionally, its rolling resistance is optimized for fuel efficiency. However, these premium qualities come at a higher price point, reflecting its top-tier performance attributes.

The Continental PremiumContact 7, securing the top position in the test, demonstrates outstanding performance across various metrics. It excels in both dry and wet conditions, showcasing superior dry braking and handling capabilities. In wet conditions, it maintains a high level of performance, particularly in hydroplaning resistance and handling, ensuring driver safety and vehicle control. Despite its excellent handling and braking attributes, the tire's rolling resistance is notable, suggesting a slight compromise in fuel efficiency compared to some competitors.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 stands out in the ADAC Summer SUV Tire Test R17, securing the top position with exceptional performance in both dry and wet braking, showcasing its prowess in ensuring driving safety. It achieves the best scores in steering feedback and handling at limits, emphasizing its reliability in critical situations. However, the tire shows room for improvement in hydroplaning resistance, with average ratings in both straight and lateral scenarios. Its wear resistance and fuel consumption are commendable, indicating good longevity and moderate efficiency. The pricing and value metrics suggest a higher cost, which is something to consider against its performance benefits.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 demonstrated exceptional performance in the Auto Motor und Sport Summer SUV Tire Test R18, showcasing superior grip and control across various conditions. It achieved top rankings in dry braking, handling, and wet surface performance, including wet braking, handling, and circle tests. While its prowess in hydroplaning scenarios was commendable, it did not secure the leading position, indicating room for improvement in specific areas.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 is a dependable tire that performs consistently on both dry and wet surfaces, ensuring good control and handling in various driving situations. It responds quickly to steering, which enhances the overall driving experience. While it stands out for its performance in handling and braking, it's important to note that the tire's rolling resistance is on the higher side. This means that while it delivers in terms of safety and control, it might not be the best option for drivers who are particularly focused on maximizing their vehicle's fuel economy.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 excelled in the Autobild Tire Test. Its performance on both wet and dry roads was exemplary, highlighting a premium profile. Despite its strengths, there were areas such as hydroplaning resistance and noise levels where it did not lead the pack.
