Continental PremiumContact 7 vs Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2

If safety margins and dynamic capability are your top priorities, the Continental PremiumContact 7 is the clear winner. It swept all six shared tests overall, dominated dry and wet braking (often by 6-14%), and provided sharper steering with higher wet grip. Its minor trade-offs-average aquaplaning resistance in some tests, higher noise, and higher price-don't outweigh its consistently superior control in both everyday and emergency maneuvers.

If you drive high annual mileage, value comfort and efficiency, or want stronger value over the ownership cycle, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 makes a compelling case. It's quieter, rolls easier, and routinely posts 14-47% higher projected mileage with better abrasion results and lower fuel consumption. For calm driving and budget-conscious buyers, it's a smart, well-balanced choice. Bottom line: Continental for maximum safety and performance; Goodyear for long-haul value and refinement.

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.
