No owner ratings of noise for SportContact 7. The owner half is the owners’ average (67): owners’ noise ratings barely follow the road tests, so the tests say nothing about how owners would rate it.

Tire B
Positive
Continental SportContact 7
Community members widely praise the Continental SportContact 7 for outstanding dry and wet grip, sharp steering precision, and strong value compared to key rivals like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. However, users frequently highlight faster tread wear, reduced initial tread depth, and occasional issues with road noise and comfort as main drawbacks.

“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.”

“My experience is as follows: SC7>PS4S's>ASY6>PS5>ASY5>PS4. I've not tried the ASY6 supersports and I think it's fair to say the PS5/4 grip better than ASY5/6, but you get a lot more feel through the goodyears. Sport contact 7 by far the best overall road tyre you can drive without going for a super aggressive tyre or semi slick.”

“and they don't have Bridgestone tyre model in both sizes I need. I guess it means I'm back to Camskill and consider either Turanza 6 Enliten or Conti Sport Contact 7. Both got good scores on TyreReviews.com. I could get whole set of Turanzas from Camskill, whereas with Continentals, I would need to buy rear ones elsewhere”

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.
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.
