Continental will fit the new Audi A6 with its summer tyres as standard. The Ingolstadt-based car manufacturer has approved two options for its premium mid-size model: the high-performance SportContact 7 and the efficiency-focused EcoContact 6 Q.
The SportContact 7 is a high-performance tyre designed for particularly sporty, precise handling. Its rubber compound and tread pattern are optimised for excellent grip and short braking distances on both dry and wet roads. Even at high speeds, the tyre offers maximum stability and reliability. In independent tests, the SportContact 7 consistently earns top marks, particularly in safety-critical areas such as braking and handling. In the 2025 ADAC summer tyre test, the SportContact 7 in size 255/40 R18 underwent rigorous evaluation and received a rating of “good” as the test winner. Testers praised its high stability and balanced performance during sporty driving.
Continental developed the EcoContact 6 Q for drivers who prioritise efficiency, durability and comfort. A special rubber compound and optimised tread pattern significantly reduce rolling resistance and noise. This not only lowers energy consumption and extends range but also enhances ride comfort – without compromising safety.
