Continental’s PremiumContact 7 has claimed the top spot in the recent What Car? tyre test, showcasing its exceptional performance and reinforcing its status as one of the safest and most reliable tyres on the market. The test, which aims to highlight the crucial role tyres play in road safety, saw the PremiumContact 7 outperform competitors across a range of key metrics.
The PremiumContact 7 proved its superiority by leading the pack in both wet and dry braking tests. With tyres being the only point of contact between a vehicle and the road, the ability to stop quickly and safely in various conditions is vital. What Car? praised the tyre for its performance, stating:
"The Continental PremiumContact 7 does a great job of dealing with wet and dry conditions, and standing water. It stopped our test car swiftly and offered an abundance of grip in all situations. When it did falter, it did so without drama so the driver could back off the power and regain control."
One of the standout features of the PremiumContact 7 is its adaptability across a wide range of vehicle types. Whether fitted to a lightweight passenger car or a heavier vehicle, the tyre’s performance remains consistent. To accommodate varying vehicle weights, sizes, and drive types, the PremiumContact 7 is available in sizes ranging from 16 to 21 inches.
The PremiumContact 7's adaptable tread design contributes to its excellent handling in both wet and dry conditions, while also enhancing stability and ride comfort. Continental’s innovative RedChili compound allows the tyre to perform optimally across a broad temperature range, ensuring safety and efficiency whether you're driving in hot summer conditions or on cold winter roads.
The PremiumContact 7’s win in the What Car? tyre test adds to a growing list of accolades for this tyre across Europe. Peter Robb, Marketing Director at Continental UK and Ireland, expressed his pride in the achievement:
"We are pleased to see the PremiumContact 7 come out on top in the What Car? tyre test. This win adds to the many accolades the tyre has received across Europe since its launch, and it is great to see our tyres recognised for their performance and safety."
With this win, Continental continues to highlight the importance of making the right tyre choice for safety and performance. Tyres are not just components; they are critical to a vehicle's braking, handling, and overall stability. As the PremiumContact 7 demonstrates, selecting high-quality tyres can make all the difference in real-world driving situations.
