Best In Class: Continental SportContact 7

The Continental SportContact 7 emerges as a prominent contender in the ultra-ultra high-performance (UUHP) tire category, designed for supercars and high-end sports vehicles with a focus on superior grip, cornering ability, and stability at high speeds. Outshining in press tests, it won 7 out of 9 competitions, showcasing its dominance, particularly in wet and dry conditions.

Here are the tests where SportContact 7 emerged as the winner:

  1. AUTO Straßenverkehr 2023: Summer Tire Test R18 – Recognized for its balanced handling, especially on wet roads, and its high grip during both braking and cornering on dry surfaces.
  2. Auto Bild Sportscars 2023: Summer Tire Test R18 – The tire demonstrated dynamic cornering, stability, precise steering, and short braking distances in varied conditions.
  3. Auto Zeitung: UHP Summer Tire Test R19 – The tire excelled in multiple areas, particularly in cornering grip, and braking performance.
  4. Gute Fahrt: Summer Tire Test R19 – SportContact 7 impressed with its wet grip
  5. Auto Express: UUHP Summer Tire Test R19 – Noted for its short braking distance and excellent handling response, the tire outperformed many of its competitors.
  6. Sportauto: Summer Tire Test R19 – The tire’s balanced performance in both dry and wet conditions, combined with its exceptional braking capabilities, set it apart.
  7. Tyre Reviews: UHP Summer Tire Test R19 – Earning high praise for its handling response and braking distances in various conditions.

When compared with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, the SportContact 7 excels in dry and wet performance but falls short in aquaplaning resistance and rolling resistance. User reviews praise its exceptional wet and dry capabilities, though note limitations in aquaplaning and fuel efficiency. Despite its few shortcomings, the SportContact 7 is acclaimed for its remarkable performance, setting high standards in the UUHP tire segment.
