Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

The community generally regards the SportContact 7 as an excellent ultra-high-performance tire, praised for exceptional dry and wet grip, direct steering, quick warm-up, and good rim protection. Many rank it at or above the Michelin PS4S and ahead of the PS5 and Goodyear Asymmetric 6 for outright performance. The main criticisms are fast tread wear (often about 10–15k miles), low starting tread depth, softer sidewalls, some tramlining and noise, and poor durability on track.
“From 19’s to 18’s experience. When the factory 19’s cracked in shitty aussie roads, it was the perfect excuse for new wheels and tyres. I went with Konig ampliform 18-8.5 ET43, and conti sport contact 7 245/40. The ride changed a lot, the car feels much lighter to throw around, it’s a lot of fun and at the same time potholes don’t feel like a shock through the spine anymore. Read more”
“Can’t look past the sport contact 7s for me, both in terms of price and performance. I prefer them to the PS4S. The ride is better, they aren’t as loud, they are cheaper and wet grip is noticeable better. I’ve only used them on fairly big RWD stuff so can’t comment on how they’d be on something lighter and FWD. They are awesome on the 5 series and M3”
“The oil and tires question (summer edition) So, I have an EU i30N with GPF (for now anyway) I’m looking for a good summer oil for daily + weekend hooning + a few track days. Ambient temps can reach ~37°C, so I’m considering 5W-30, 5W-40, or maybe 0W-40, over the stock 0W30. Since it's (momentarily) got a GPF, it can't be a full-SAPS oil. Does anyone have any specific recommendations? Next thing is the tires. It's currently on some kind of P Zeros, probably just a later set of the stock model (from the previous owner). I'm looking to put something else onto it (cause I'm fed up with cold understeer and hop), but there's too much choice for me 😅. I know that I probably don't want SC7's because they're reportedly really stiff (despite all of their other pros). The roads are kinda ass where I live and it's already on the limit of my tolerance with the PZs. Read more”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
