Continental SportContact 6 vs Continental SportContact 7 — Compared

“CSC6 is excellent tire indeed and the wear is top notch, too. The only sight negatives I am aware of is poor rim protection, quite high noise and harsh ride.”

“Do not buy the 6's. I had a set on my '18 Macan Turbo. Bald in 9,000 miles. The Macan is heavier than the C63S. But still... The other thing I noticed was going into a tight corner, the tires gave the impression they were rolling off the tread and folding under the tire. Weird sensation. But the Extreme's. Da BOMB! I'm waiting for the Mich SS's to wear out. Continental has the Extreme's in the 19/20 setup. I ran these tires on a 2009 GT500 rated at 650HP and a set on an 09 BMW 650i coupe. I'd be running them on the Macan but unfortunately they do not have a set that fit my 20" wheels.”

“70k on SC6 ? Mine lasted 17k and now since I have the SC7 they overpassed the 6 without problems. They are better.”

“Hi, i'll give my take since i've made 15K kilometers with the front tyres changed to the SC7. They last longer on normal road use and they won't give you that typical LSD noise when maneuvering. BUT you'll feel right away that they are softer on the side in the first faster than normal curve. I did not find differences while raining. On the racetrack... maybe the side is too soft, but in general i found them worse than the stock pirelli. Also, on the track you almost have to be weary of the rim from how much the side squishes and wears. I think they could be used for everyday driving, but another set of rims with other tyres should be taken into consideration when doing track days.”

“Last week I fitted brand new tyres on my '03 Z4, replaced the worn GY asymmetric 6's with Conti SC7 and I'm not pleased at all. The car also has recently installed new KW V1's, already driven on the old GY's. Now it just feels chewy in the corners. The tires have a few 100km already. Anyone else disappointed with Conti SC7? Any suggestion on tyre pressures? They filled the tyres 2,5 bar all around, later I left out some air just on the front tyres, but still unhappy. I just don't trust the car in the corners.”

“Continental SportContact 7 vs Michelin Pilot Sport 4 I have a 2022 Mk 8.5 with the stock 18" wheels. The original Michelin PS4 need to be replaced. Unfortunately, I am not able to source new Michelins as they are not in stock anywhere convenient. I am able to get Conti SC7s in 205/40 R18. Never used a set. Always had Michelins on all my cars. Reviews tell me that they are at least as good and probably better than the Michelins (and perhaps better even than the Michelin PS4S I run on my other car), but has anyone tried them? My other options for decent tyres in the correct size are Bridgestone Potenza Sports. I can get Pirelli P Zeros but they are the previous generation and I don't like them (having had them on another car as OEM and replaced them with Michelins after 2000kms). I am in Australia so don't need all season tyres. Thanks in advance. Read more”
