Positive: Balanced handling and short braking distances on wet roads. High level of grip when braking and cornering on dry pavement.
Negative: Grip in corners on wet roads, increased noise.

Positive: The new SportContact 7 performed well in the first test: dynamic cornering, stability and precise steering with very good feedback, short braking distances on wet and dry road.
Negative: Poor lateral hydroplaning performance.

The new tire from Continental features good hydroplaning resistance and good cornering grip. In addition, together with Bridgestone wins the braking test. High dynamic performance with a tendency to understeer. Excellent performance: shortest braking distances, very high driving safety and low rolling resistance.

A really impressive tire, particularly in terms of wet grip. Even its rolling resistance is low enough; there are only slight issues with hydroplaning resistance in corners.

One of the strongest sides of this Continental model is a very short braking distance on both wet and dry pavement. In addition, the tire ensures an excellent dry handling response. At the same time, this Continental model is inferior to some of its rivals in terms of steering feedback and ride comfort.

Short braking distance and excellent handling response on dry and wet pavement. The new Continental model obviously outperforms its rivals, particularly in terms of wet grip. Increased rolling resistance. Reduced lateral hydroplaning resistance.

Excellent handling performance on dry pavement. Excellent hydroplaning resistance. Excellent braking performance. Great handling response in the wet. Moderate ride comfort. Exemplary.

Excellently balanced performance. Outstanding dry and wet braking capabilities. Relatively low lateral aquaplaning resistance. Low riding comfort. Exemplary.

Excellent handling response and short braking distance in any conditions. Low aquaplaning resistance. Increased rolling resistance. Highly recommended.
