Below are all the data points for the 2012 ACE Touring Summer Tyre Test, displaying how each tyre performed across all test categories. The spider chart below provides a complete overview of performance, where one hundred percent represents the best performance in each category. The larger the area covered by each tyre's plot, the better its overall performance.
How to read these charts:
For each test category, data is presented relative to the best performing tire. The direction indicates whether lower or higher values are better - pay close attention to this when interpreting results.
Spider chart cannot be displayed because there are no test categories common to all tires.

According to this test, the Contis, however the Dunlop has just been replaced so the new version might be the better tyre:

P7 done for rolling resistance but officially gets a "C" score on the tyre label (which is unusually good - Efficientgrip officially an F)....??
I would like to understand why cinturato P7 both wins on several tests and then are put near the budget tires on this one..
Efficient Grip scores 131 which should position it as no4 not no7?
The results were weighted in favour of safety related scores which our automatic totalling sadly doesn't reflect. The overall order is as the magazine printed!
Efficient Grip better than Sportrac 3? I don't think so...!
Interesting comment, have you driven on both? Tyre performance can vary from size to size, so you might find in a different size the scoring is slightly different.
No, I driven only Efficient Grip, but I was thinking of trying the Sportrac 3 next spring. I said "I don't think so" because I
had two of them on the front axle of my Grande Punto, mounted at the end of
October before putting the winter tyres, instead of 2 Bridgestone Turanza
ER300 "eat" on the inside due to incorrect convergence of my car. After
about 1.500/2.000 kilometers traveled, I decided to give it back (fortunately the tire dealer has deducted the cost of them from my winter tyres) because it didn't fit
my driving style too soft for my taste... Don't get me wrong, on normal
road tyres it were great, potholes didn't feel close to it, but going on
the highway (and I go there every day) I had to make numerous
micro-corrections, even on straight road, but the "problem", if you can
call that,
was when it faced the high speed corners, instead of rigid feel, you felt the rubber deformed like a jelly... Oh
well, I have overdone it a bit, but this is to give you an idea of
the feelings I felt when I was driving... So, in my humble opinion the Efficient Grip are much recommended for those with a normal drive, but for those
like me who has a guide which is positioned midway between touring and
sport, are not very marked.As winter tyres, I put the Goodyear Ultragrip 8 and I found that Efficient Grip were even more soft of the first!
The Guildford Tyre Co. Fitted P C 5s to my 407 Sport xs 235x45x18 in the spring last year , I have run Conti for years and these are the best yet !
Premium Contact 5's aren't on the market yet! The Sport Contact and Eco Contact 5 were both released last year.
I stand corrected, Sport contact 5 they were , like driving on rails !
Not going to argue with that - they're very good tyres!
