Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 for an all-season tyre that's consistently safe in the wet, resists aquaplaning, and delivers better efficiency and longer predicted life-ideal for most drivers and mixed climates. Consider the Milever All Season Versat MC545 only if you're on a strict budget, drive low annual mileage, and your priority is snow-biased performance while accepting notably weaker wet/dry safety and shorter tread life.
Where the AllSeasonContact 2 is stronger
- Strong wet safety: consistently shorter wet braking and better wet handling; large aquaplaning advantage (e.g., 88.2 vs 75.8 km/h straight aquaplaning in ADAC)
- Balanced all-season capability with no major weak surface; top overall in ADAC (1/16) and highly recommended/2nd in Tyre Reviews (2/11)
- High efficiency: lowest fuel consumption in ADAC (5.4 l/100 km) and best rolling resistance in Tyre Reviews (7.73 kg/t)
Where the All Season Versat mc545 is stronger
- Snow-leaning performance: wins snow braking in both tests and is competitive in snow handling
- Low noise levels in both tests (e.g., 70.2 dB ADAC; 70.3 dB Tyre Reviews)
- Acceptable efficiency for a budget tyre (fuel/rolling resistance not class-leading but not disastrous)

Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tyres; a tick marks the tyre ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 2 tests, 2025 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tyres ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tyres shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.
Scores beyond the shared tests
On the Tyre Reviews Score, which weighs every test and review we hold, the AllSeasonContact 2 scores 9.5 and the All Season Versat mc545 7.4 out of 10.

Owners rate the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 highly overall (81% average), most often praising its smooth, comfortable ride and low noise levels, alongside very strong wet grip that inspires confidence. Dry grip is also widely viewed as secure and predictable, and around one in five owners report it coping well in snow for an all-season. The main recurring drawback is steering feel: around one in four owners describe softer, less immediate response, and tread life feedback is mixed, with a noticeable minority reporting faster-than-expected wear.
- Noticeably smoother, more comfortable ride
- Low cabin noise and a refined drive
- Excellent wet grip and confidence in the rain
- Strong dry grip and traction under acceleration
- Steering feels soft or delayed, with a dead spot for some drivers
- Tread life reports are inconsistent, with some seeing faster wear
- Handling can feel less sharp than expected in the dry
Summarised by AI from 61 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.
All 70 AllSeasonContact 2 reviewsI chose XL-rated tires because I tend to drive a bit faster, and they provide better stability with less sidewall flex. I use them only during the winter, and they've been excellent. They are no noisier than winter tires, and in my experience they perform better in about 90% of winter conditions. The only exception is deep snow, where proper winter tires still have an advantage, although these tires handle it quite well too.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
This is a classic premium all-season vs budget all-season showdown: the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 (premium-touring) against the Milever All Season Versat MC545 (touring). Both appear in two independent tests (ADAC 2026 in 185/65 R15, and Tyre Reviews 2025/26 in 205/45 R17), which gives a useful cross-check across very different sizes and test methodologies.
Across both tests, the story is consistent: the Continental aims for a true “no weak link” all-round balance-especially in wet safety and efficiency-while the Milever leans much more winter-biased. That winter tilt helps it sneak a couple of snow discipline wins, but it comes with meaningful compromises in dry and (most importantly) wet braking and handling, plus a clear durability penalty in ADAC's wear prediction.
Conclusion
If you want one set of tyres to cover mixed conditions safely, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the clear pick. It beat the Milever decisively in wet safety in both tests-wet braking was shorter by 11.6% (32.8 m vs 37.1 m) in ADAC and 15.4% (31.9 m vs 37.7 m) in Tyre Reviews-and it also resisted aquaplaning far better (e.g., straight aquaplaning +16.4% in ADAC; curved aquaplaning advantages of ~37-43% across both tests). It then adds real ownership benefits: lower fuel use (5.4 vs 5.7 l/100 km in ADAC) / lower rolling resistance (7.73 vs 8.33 kg/t in Tyre Reviews), and much better predicted wear in ADAC (41,300 km vs 32,400 km).
The Milever's best argument is snow-biased performance: it won snow braking in both tests (by small margins: 0.85% in ADAC and 4.05% in Tyre Reviews) and was also slightly better in snow handling in the Tyre Reviews data. But those wins are outweighed by large wet and aquaplaning deficits and a notable tread-life disadvantage in ADAC-meaning you're trading away the most accident-relevant conditions (wet roads) and paying it back sooner in replacement cycles. Practical takeaway: unless your use case is unusually snow-dominant and you drive low annual mileage on a strict budget, the Continental is the safer, more complete “fit and forget” all-season.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tyres ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tyres can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
