Tyre Reviews''Once again Continental have dropped a new tyre to the market, and seriously moved the game on, most noticeably in the wet. Last year it was the SportContact 7, this year it's the PremiumContact 7.
This tyre had a huge lead in wet braking, was joint fastest around wet handling, and had the fastest wet circle lap. Thankfully, it also kept most of the dry handling character I loved of the PremiumContact 6 and was excellent on the brakes. It wasn't a flawless run, it was pretty average in aquaplaning resistance, external noise and rolling resistance, but the lead it had in the grip categories led it to a dominating win. Yes, it is the newest tyre, and yes, based on this test, its also the best.''
The Premium Contact 7 can be used on vehicles of all types, including heavy and light electric vehicles, providing customisable sizes. What makes the composite so unique? Made of rubber and synthetic ingredients, the composite, called “Red Chili,” allows for better performance on wet and dry roads at any temperature, circumventing the typical tyre warm-up period. Also, the tread pattern is superior as it provides excellent steadiness and a better ride in daily traffic. This is due to the fact, especially when it is raining, that the tyre tread’s wide openings provide exceptional water flushing when driving straight and going around tight corners.
Tested on roads all across Europe over a distance of 150,000 kilometres and in labs, these optimal technologies have been proven to perform well in the harshest of conditions. The Premium Contact 7 has an improved mileage life of over ten percent over the previous Premium Contact 6 model. Also, handling in wet conditions is upgraded by about five percent, braking in the rain improved by about seven percent, and hydroplaning performance by about two percent. Performance in dry conditions also improved. Dry braking and handling are about 3 percent better than the Premium Contact 6.
