Owners rate it 8 points lower than the instrumented road tests do — see the two score breakdowns below for where they disagree.

Two scoring systems, side by side

Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 589 owner reviews found online.

The Continental PremiumContact 7 generally receives highly positive user feedback, praised widely for its exceptional wet and dry grip, predictable handling, and sharp braking performance. While most drivers note substantial improvements in safety and confidence compared to previous tire sets, some users express concerns regarding elevated road noise on coarse asphalt and faster-than-expected tread wear.

Pros

Outstanding wet and dry grip with high aquaplaning resistance
Precise handling and sharp cornering confidence
Excellent braking performance in all weather conditions
Good ride comfort and bump absorption due to softer sidewalls

Cons

Higher road noise, particularly on rough or coarse surfaces
Faster or uneven tread wear reported by some spirited or heavy vehicle drivers
Soft sidewalls can occasionally result in initial flex during hard cornering
Prone to picking up and trapping small stones and pebbles

Worth knowing

Drivers of heavier and torquey vehicles (such as FWD EVs and diesel estate cars) noted that the tire manages torque well off the line, though some experienced accelerated tread wear on front axles.
Users transitioning from touring or all-season tires on hatchbacks and sedans highlighted a noticeable transformation in cornering stability and steering response.

“Kad sam vozio w124, Continental Premium Contact 6 Sad dok vozim Passat B6, Continental Premium Contact 7 Jedina stvar na koju me nije žao da dam para su gume, i nekoliko puta su me spasile pri kočenju jer se lepe za asfalt. Tako da, uvek ću birati sigurnost pre nego uštedu.”

“Continental PremiumContact 7, num modelo igual, com mais motor, e estão a funcionar bastante bem, principalmente na traseira que é um bocadinho para o solta. É pneu para custar entre 110/120€ com montagem etc etc Mas mudas os 4 por alguma necessidade específica? Já estão gastos?”

“Summer tire recommendations? Premiumcontact 7 vs Cinturato P7C2 Rims related Hi, I recently purchased a new set(very used) of 18'' rims for the summer and trying to decide on the tires. I've narrowed my search to between the Conti PC7 (flange reinforcement, 93Y 142€) and the Pirelli P7C2 (XL, 97Y 135€). Conti has the better wet grip and wear, but apparently they're loud as hell. The Pirellis have better noise, fuel efficiency, and they're slightly cheaper. Any recommendations? Is this all purely relative and they're still the same category compared to budget?”

“Are these 3 yo PremiumContact 7 really worn out? Hi! I'm wondering whether these 3 year old Continental summer tires are really worn out or are still good to drive. The mechanic at the shop said the front two tires are worn on the inside edges (right sides of the tires in the photos). I can see some more wear on the inside edges, but I have never worn out tires in such a short time and have driven Contis most of the time. These tires were used for 3 season, about 35000 km in total and the optics were done when they were first installed (in 2023) and then 2 year later. They were always run at recommended pressures. I have separate tires for the winter. I am puzzled as to why these tires have worn out quicker and supposed to be replaced (at least the front two). Read more”

“Mazda 6 2.5 NA Tyre choice Continental PremiumContact 7 Well if anybody is looking for tyre upgrade and considering various options I am currently running my 6 on PremiumContact 7 225/45/R19 XL 96Y. The ride is phenomenal, it is a drastic upgrade from the Turanza 005. Turn in is faster and in curves i actually feel more where the front is turning - better feedback. I lost no comfort honestly. They are a bit pricy but if you need new tyres - the continentals are a great buy.”

“Tried it out on 225/55R18 Very gripy, to a point steering on the spot feel more heavier steering compared than previous Tyres. Very good on dry, quick lane switch dun feel the Tyre wall lembeh. Dry brake is very good. Haven't test wet perf much yet. Noise, is abit on the noisy side but not unbearable. Comfort wise, is on the stiff side but might be a combo of my recent suspension change. FC wise, is worse than previous Tyre but not by much. Only thing I don't like it's it keeps spinning up stones on road, and I can hear spun up small stones hit undercarriage. I think is becos of Tyre thread pattern. Those who want a sporty ride, can consider this Tyre”
