Continental has once again confirmed its leading position in independent tyre tests for the 2025 summer season. Of the comparative tests published thus far, the premium brand’s summer tires have taken first place ten times and second place four times. Continental is thus continuing its successful streak of recent years.
The SportContact 7 has been in the spotlight often, winning seven out of eight tests, including those conducted by ADAC and the trade magazines sport auto and AUTO BILD sportscars. The SportContact 7 was developed for sporty and powerful vehicles, whether they have a combustion or electric engine. Tyre experts particularly praise its successful combination of driving dynamics, control, and safety.
The PremiumContact 7 also performed well this season. The British magazine Tyre Reviews named it the winner of its summer tyre test. AUTO BILD was doubly impressed by the tyre: second place in the test for electric vehicles and the “VorBILDlich” rating in the large summer tyre test. It also placed second in the Swedish magazine Aftonbladet. Designed as a balanced all-rounder, the PremiumContact 7 is aimed at drivers who value safety and comfort. Its strengths include excellent wet grip, low rolling resistance, and high mileage.
The UltraContact NXT, Continental’s most sustainable volume car tyre had a strong debut in testing. In tests conducted by the Polish magazine Motor and the German magazine Auto, Motor und Sport, the UltraContact NXT impressed with its high safety reserves while focusing on sustainability. The UltraContact NXT has a share of up to 65 percent renewable, recycled, or mass balance-certified materials, and it received the top “A” rating on the EU tire label for rolling resistance, wet braking, and exterior noise in all 19 dimensions.
