Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Continental PremiumContact 7 for a fast road car that sees real weather-especially if you value wet safety, lower energy use, comfort refinement, and long tread life. Choose the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 if your priority is dry-road sharpness and braking with a more playful, track-day-friendly feel, and you're willing to trade away wet-stop performance and efficiency.
Where the PremiumContact 7 is stronger
- Wet safety advantage: wins wet braking in every shared test, often by large margins (e.g., 42.7 m vs 47.9 m; 27.3 m vs 30.6 m)
- More consistent wet handling and aquaplaning balance (frequent wins in wet handling, wet circle, and curved aquaplaning metrics)
- Lower rolling resistance / better efficiency (e.g., 7.83 vs 10.1 kg/t), supporting lower fuel/energy consumption
Where the Advan Sport V107 is stronger
- Very strong dry braking performance across the dataset (wins most dry-braking results, often by small but repeatable margins)
- Sportier dry dynamics and higher subjective “fun”/feedback in enthusiast testing (track-day-leaning character noted in 2023 performance test)
- Competitive dry handling pace in some tests (e.g., higher dry-handling speed in AutoBild 2026)
The bullet points are analysis of the shared tests and of owner reviews; the measured wins in each discipline are in the tables below. Where the two disagree, the figures are right.

Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tyres; a tick marks the tyre ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 7 tests, 2023 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tyres ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tyres shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.
Scores beyond the shared tests

Continental PremiumContact 7
- 82%from 71 reviews
- 74%would buy again
- 704,882 milesdriven by reviewers
Owners are largely impressed with the Continental PremiumContact 7, rating it 82.9% on average with no outright negative reviews, and the standout theme is strong, confidence-inspiring grip in both dry and wet conditions. Nearly half of owners mention excellent dry and wet grip, often backed up by praise for secure handling and stability. The main drawback is refinement: around a quarter to a third of owners report notable road noise, and a similar share are disappointed by tread life, with wear sometimes described as quicker than expected. Comfort is generally viewed positively overall, though opinions vary, and steering feel is more mixed than the outright grip levels suggest.
- Strong dry grip and traction
- Very confident wet grip
- Secure, planted handling in the dry
- Comfortable ride over bumps and on longer runs
- Noticeable road noise, especially on coarse surfaces
- Tread life can be disappointing for a premium tyre
- Steering feel/precision can be inconsistent (some find it vague)
Summarised by AI from 58 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.
All 71 PremiumContact 7 reviewsThe PremiumContact 7 offers a great balance of touring longevity, comfort, and sufficiently precise handling to keep you safe at higher speeds and in unexpected situations. These tires provide near-perfect grip across various conditions, performing exceptionally well on both dry and wet roads. On the other hand, they can get a bit noisy on rough surfaces.
Yokohama Advan Sport V107
- 73%from 25 reviews
- 54%would buy again
- 140,521 milesdriven by reviewers
Owners most consistently praise the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 for strong dry performance, with around three in five highlighting excellent dry grip and many also noting sharp steering and confident dry handling. Wet grip is generally rated as decent, though opinions are more mixed, with a small but notable group (around one in seven) finding it weaker, particularly in colder conditions. The biggest drawback is longevity: around two in five owners complain of very fast wear. Noise is another frequent issue, with around one in three reporting higher road roar, especially on rougher surfaces.
- Outstanding dry grip and confidence under power
- Very capable dry handling with strong feedback
- Direct, responsive steering feel
- Stiff, sporty sidewalls that support hard driving
- Very short tread life and rapid wear
- Noticeable road noise/roar, especially on coarse surfaces
- Needs heat or a bedding-in period to feel at its best

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
Continental's PremiumContact 7 and Yokohama's Advan Sport V107 sit in slightly different corners of the summer-tyre world: the PC7 is a premium-touring road tyre engineered to be easy to live with every day, while the V107 is a more overt ultra-high-performance option that aims to feel sharper and more “sporty” near the limit. That difference in mission shows up clearly across the seven shared professional tests you provided (spanning 18" and 19" fitments, and both performance-tyre and broader market comparisons).
Across these tests, the headline pattern is consistent: the Yokohama repeatedly nicks the dry-braking measurement (and can feel very engaging on a dry circuit), but the Continental builds its advantage where it matters most for road safety and ownership costs-wet braking/handling, aquaplaning balance, rolling resistance, noise/comfort, and especially wear. The result is a frequent divergence between “dry-lap feel” and “real-world all-rounder” scoring, reflected in overall ranks such as 6/20 vs 13/20 (AutoBild 2026) and 4/21 vs 19/21 (AutoBild 2025).
Conclusion
On raw dry stopping distance, the Advan Sport V107 is the more consistent winner: in 6 of the shared dry-braking results it edges the PremiumContact 7, but the margin is typically small (often around half a percent to a couple of percent, e.g., 34.1 m vs 34.3 m in 245/45 R19). It also posts strong dry-handling speed in places (e.g., 100.8 vs 99.5 km/h in AutoBild 2026) and test feedback highlights quick steering and higher “fun” at the limit-traits that can appeal to enthusiastic drivers and occasional track-day users.
However, the PC7's advantage is both broader and more consequential for everyday driving. It wins wet braking in all 7 shared comparisons, often by a meaningful safety margin (for example 42.7 m vs 47.9 m in AutoBild 2026; 44.2 m vs 49.6 m in AutoBild 2025; and 27.3 m vs 30.6 m in the 2026 braking mega-test). It also tends to be more stable in wet handling and aquaplaning (frequently leading curved aquaplaning and wet-circle metrics), while also delivering clearly better wear and efficiency: the Continental's rolling resistance is repeatedly much lower (e.g., 7.83 vs 10.1 kg/t in AutoBild 2026), and its projected mileage is substantially higher (e.g., 56,350 km vs 45,630 km; 51,600 km vs 33,600 km), which helps explain why it typically finishes far higher overall despite sometimes losing the dry-braking line item.
Value is the only area that swings depending on how the test weights purchase price versus running costs. Some tests note the PC7's high purchase price, while others show its strong cost-per-1,000 km thanks to long wear. Practical takeaway: if you want the safer, quieter, more efficient tyre that remains strong when conditions turn wet, the PremiumContact 7 is the clear better all-round choice; the V107 mainly makes sense if you prioritize dry-road sharpness/feel and can accept higher energy use and weaker wet performance.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tyres ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tyres can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
