Continental PremiumContact 7 vs Yokohama Advan Sport V107
Expect a contrast between rounded everyday excellence and focused sportiness. The Yokohama repeatedly stops shortest in the dry and offers quick steering and high feedback, but it gives up meaningful ground in wet grip, rolling resistance, comfort, and wear. The Continental, by comparison, delivers balanced high performance with standout wet safety, lower energy use, and far better longevity and value.

While it might look like the Continental PremiumContact 7 is better than the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.
Key Strengths
- Class-leading wet braking and aquaplaning reserves (e.g., 44.2 m vs 49.6 m wet brake; +2-5% aqua margins)
- Low rolling resistance (often ~18-21% lower), aiding efficiency
- High mileage and better value per 1,000 km (e.g., ~25-50% longer wear)
- Refined comfort and lower noise with stable, predictable handling
- Outstanding dry braking (often ~2-4% shorter stop)
- Sporty, quick steering with strong feedback; engaging at the limit
- Solid dry dynamics and subjective 'fun' scores
- Competitive purchase price in some sizes

Real World Driver Reviews
Continental PremiumContact 7 Driver Reviews
Drivers of the Continental PremiumContact 7 overwhelmingly praise its outstanding wet and dry grip, strong braking, and confidence-inspiring handling, often noting clear improvements over the PC6. Many also report solid comfort and better aquaplaning resistance, though experiences vary by car. The most frequent drawbacks are higher road noise on coarse asphalt and, for a subset of users, faster tread wear; a few enthusiasts note soft sidewalls that reduce steering precision. Overall sentiment is strongly positive given the high number of top-scoring reviews.

Yokohama Advan Sport V107 Driver Reviews
Drivers report the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 delivers strong dry grip, sharp handling, and confident wet performance when warm, with several high-scoring reviews praising its sporty feel and feedback (including on EVs). However, many note high road noise on coarse surfaces and notably fast tread wear, making it less ideal for daily comfort or longevity-focused use.
Based on 18 reviews with an average rating of 73%
Conclusion
The Advan Sport V107 counters with excellent dry braking (regularly ~2-4% shorter) and a more playful, communicative steering feel that enthusiasts appreciate, particularly in hot, aggressive driving. However, its wet-grip deficit, high rolling resistance, and shorter mileage push it down overall rankings and increase running costs. If you prioritize daily safety, efficiency, and durability, choose the Continental; if you want maximum dry bite and steering feel for spirited drives or occasional track use and can accept compromises elsewhere, the Yokohama fits the brief.
Key Differences
- Wet safety: Continental consistently superior in wet braking/handling (often 8-11% shorter braking).
- Dry bias: Yokohama repeatedly wins dry braking by ~2-4% and feels more playful.
- Aquaplaning: Continental leads in straight and curved tests across studies.
- Efficiency: Continental's rolling resistance lower by ~18-21%, reducing fuel/EV energy use.
- Durability/value: Continental wear life typically 25-50% longer with better €/1,000 km.
- Comfort/refinement: Continental rides quieter and smoother; Yokohama is firmer and louder.

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
