“Had the same dilemma, went for PremiumContact 7 in the end for my Cupra ST300 4drive. Both have great traction when wet and dry, SC7 is more for an overall aggresive driving, while PC7 are bit more comfy, for a mix of sport and city daily cruising. Both are very quiet on the highway.”

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score

Tire A

Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R

We haven't collected enough community discussion about this tire yet.

Tire B

Continental SportContact 7

Positive

Community opinion on the Continental SportContact 7 is overwhelmingly positive regarding its exceptional grip, direct steering response, and wet weather performance, often rivaling or beating the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. However, users frequently note trade-offs in tread life, reporting faster wear and lower initial tread depth compared to touring-oriented tires.

“Not a C7 but Continental SportContact 7, similar or better than PilotSport 4S in most aspect but a bit noisier, wears faster too”

“Michelin PS4S vs Continental SC7 Aloha! This is for all of you who are struggling to choose a tire and need some impression (not a recommendation since you need to make your own decision). I've been here often enough with the question for the best summer tires, gave some opinions here and there and told my side of things. Last time I was biased toward Contis but I'll come to that later. What you see here is a direct comparison: 1st pic on the left and 2nd and 3rd one are the Michelins, 2 years old, so two full seasons of pretty harsh driving tbh. 1st pic right and 4th and 5th one are the Contis, which I bought and mounted in mid April this year. I noticed that contis are fantastic in the first 1-2 months and then start to wear off really fast. Grip is getting worse by the week. Michelins feel a bit less grippy then contis at start but keep their level for longer and thread holds up longer. Do with this what you want but I will return to PS4S again when its time (in winter Michelin anyway) because I cant see myself paying 1/3 less for Contis to then have then last only half as long as Michelin. Oh yeah, both are 225/35/19 obviously and were brand new. Read more”

“Anyone tried the Continental Sport Contact 7 on a GT3 or similar? I'm looking to change my Cup 2 tyres. I will keep them for next summer but as I live in the UK and drive a lot in Europe I want something that is better in colder and wetter climates. I've had and liked the SC7 tyres before and whilst there isn't an N rated version they are available in the correct size, load and speed rating to match the fitted Cup 2s. Even PS4S is only available here in N rated rears and non N rated fronts. Then the remaining options are Goodyear, Pirelli and Bridgestone. It's slim pickings so on balance wanting something for colder and wetter driving it seems the SC7 is a good option despite not being N rated Anyone got experience of these tyres on a 911 and even better the GT cars? Context - street only. Spirited driving in Europe (mix of hot and cold/wet climates). I don't track the car Read more”

How do we compare tires?

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.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
