Continental’s SportContact 7 Ranks First in 2025 ADAC Summer Tire Test

Continental has once again raised the bar in tire technology with the SportContact 7, which claimed the top spot in the 2025 ADAC summer tire test. This prestigious evaluation, conducted in collaboration with Austria’s ÖAMTC and Switzerland’s TCS, assessed 18 tire models in the popular 225/40 R18 size using a VW Golf. The result? A clear winner that leads in safety, driving performance, and sustainability.

Best in Class Across the Board

The SportContact 7 received the best safety rating in the test with a 1.8 score from ADAC and ÖAMTC, and was “highly recommended” by TCS with a score of 74%. It was the only tire to consistently rank at the top in both safety and environmental criteria.

🚗 Braking & Handling That Inspire Confidence

  • Wet braking: Only 28.4 meters to stop from 80 km/h — the shortest of all tested tires.
  • Dry braking: Just 35.2 meters from 100 km/h.
  • Handling: Testers praised the tire’s precise steering, strong grip, and control, even at the limits.

These features make the SportContact 7 an ideal companion for drivers who expect responsive handling and maximum safety—rain or shine.
