Continental PremiumContact 7 vs Yokohama Advan Sport V107
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).
Test Results
Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been seven tests which compare both tires directly!
| Tire | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Continental PremiumContact 7 | six | |
| Yokohama Advan Sport V107 | one |
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, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.
Key Strengths
- 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
- Significantly longer wear life in multiple tests (e.g., 51,600 km vs 33,600 km; 56,350 km vs 45,630 km), improving total cost of ownership
- 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)
- Can offer attractive upfront value in some scenarios/tests (e.g., better value score in AutoBild 2026), depending on local pricing

Real World Driver Reviews
Continental PremiumContact 7 Driver Reviews
Drivers generally rate the Continental PremiumContact 7 very highly for strong dry and especially wet grip, confident braking, and stable, planted handling that makes the car feel secure at speed. The most consistent drawbacks are higher-than-expected road noise (particularly on rough asphalt) and a softer sidewall feel that can reduce steering precision for some drivers. A meaningful minority also report faster wear than expected or a noticeable performance drop (especially in the wet) once tread depth gets lower, suggesting it prioritizes grip over ultimate longevity.
Based on 50 reviews with an average rating of 83%
Yokohama Advan Sport V107 Driver Reviews
Drivers generally describe the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 as a very sporty max-performance summer tire with strong dry grip, sharp steering, and confident handling/feedback that can hold up surprisingly well for occasional track use. Many also report good wet traction, though several note reduced confidence in colder conditions and some aquaplaning as the tire wears. The most consistent drawbacks are short tread life for a “premium” tire and higher road noise/roar on coarse pavement, especially at highway speeds.

Conclusion
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 tire 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.
Key Differences
- Wet braking is the decisive separator: Continental leads 7/7 wet-braking results, with gaps that can be several metres-large enough to matter in real emergency stops
- Dry braking typically favors Yokohama (wins 6/7), but margins are usually small compared with the wet-braking deficits it carries
- Efficiency/running costs strongly favor Continental: rolling resistance is consistently much lower for PC7 (often ~18-22% better), while V107 is repeatedly cited as among the highest in class
- Longevity strongly favors Continental: PC7 repeatedly delivers materially higher projected mileage (e.g., +24% to +54% in the provided tests), which can outweigh a higher purchase price
- Overall test outcomes favor Continental in most head-to-heads (e.g., 6/20 vs 13/20; 4/21 vs 19/21; 3/21 vs 15/21), reflecting its broader balance beyond dry grip
- Character difference: V107 is more engaging at the limit (subjective 'fun'/sportiness), while PC7 is the calmer, more refined road tire (comfort/noise and wet confidence advantages)

Footnote
This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.
Why is this important? Tire 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 tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tire 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 tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
