Review
What this product is
Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.
A safe pick for drivers who want the most consistent test record and do not mind paying for it. ADAC rated it 2.3 in 225/45 R17 in 2025 (joint top with Goodyear) and 2.3 again in 185/65 R15 in 2026, where it was the only tyre to earn "gut". In Auto Bild's 2026 qualifying round in 225/45 R17 it was mid-field on braking: 44.1 m wet, 39.7 m dry, 83.8 m total. A 2026 auto motor und sport test in 195/55 R16 reportedly rated it "sehr gut" — seen second-hand only.
In 205/55 R16 91H the label shown by reifen.com is unremarkable: C for rolling resistance, B for wet grip, 70 dB (class B), EPREL 1230954. It carries both 3PMSF and M+S. Owner feedback is the best among tyres with a meaningful number of reviews: 4.79/5 from 117 at reifen.com.
What is missing: the Continental product page would not open for us, so we have no manufacturer claims to report, and we found no independent test in this exact size. At 95.98 EUR it costs more than the Goodyear that won ADAC's test in 205/55 R16.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is the Continental not first if it tests so well?
Its strong results come from 225/45 R17 and 185/65 R15, not from 205/55 R16, its label in this size is only C / B, and it is one of the dearest tyres in the list.
Is the 205/55 R16 version an XL tyre?
The version we priced is 91H, a standard-load tyre (615 kg, 210 km/h).
