Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 for almost any driver who genuinely needs all-season capability-frequent rain, cold mornings, occasional snow, motorway use, or anyone prioritizing safety margins and predictable handling. The Roadhog RGAS02 is only defensible if the purchase price is the overriding constraint and you drive mostly in mild, dry conditions; even then, its wet/winter shortcomings make it a high-compromise option rather than a smart “value” buy.
Where the AllSeasonContact 2 is stronger
- Class-leading wet safety, with consistently shorter wet braking (e.g., 44.9 m vs 52.6 m) and stronger wet handling metrics
- Outstanding aquaplaning resistance (e.g., straight aqua 88.2 vs 74.7 km/h in ADAC; +54% curved aquaplaning acceleration in ADAC)
- Strong winter performance across snow and ice (better snow braking/traction and ice braking in shared tests)
Where the RGAS02 is stronger
- Stronger dry braking in all shared comparisons (e.g., 38.5 m vs 41.5 m; ~7% advantage)
- Lower upfront cost / stronger price-per-performance on purchase price metrics (e.g., value index 6.74 vs 9.66 in AutoBild)
- Dry performance described as 'reasonable'/respectable for the price point

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 3 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.

In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 36 m stop against 34.2 m is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 85%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 11 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

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

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.
Continental's AllSeasonContact 2 and the Roadhog RGAS02 sit at opposite ends of the all-season market: the Continental is a premium touring all-rounder designed to cover wet, dry and winter use with minimal compromise, while the Roadhog is a budget touring option that leans heavily on low upfront cost.
Across three shared professional comparisons (including ADAC 2026 in 185/65 R15 and AutoBild 2025 in 225/40 R18), the pattern is consistent: the Roadhog can produce a shorter dry braking number, but the Continental dominates the safety-critical wet and winter disciplines and backs it up with better aquaplaning resistance, refinement, and generally stronger efficiency/wear outcomes. The end result is reflected in overall rankings: Continental 1st/16 and 2nd/17 versus Roadhog 15th in both major tests.
Conclusion
If you're buying an all-season tyre for real year-round use, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the clear, evidence-backed choice. It repeatedly delivers large, meaningful advantages where they matter most: wet braking (e.g., 44.9 m vs 52.6 m in AutoBild, a ~14.6% gap), aquaplaning resistance (e.g., straight aquaplaning 88.2 vs 74.7 km/h in ADAC, and markedly stronger curved aquaplaning), and winter capability (snow traction 2549 N vs 2159 N in ADAC; similarly strong gaps in AutoBild). Those margins translate directly into shorter stopping distances, higher stability in standing water, and more dependable mobility and control in snow/ice.
The Roadhog RGAS02's headline upside is price and its recurring dry-braking win (e.g., 38.5 m vs 41.5 m in AutoBild). But that single strength doesn't compensate for its pronounced wet and winter deficits and its weak overall test placements (15th/16 and 15th/17). Even its value argument is undermined by poorer longevity indicators in the shared data (e.g., 35,000 km vs 41,300 km in ADAC; 43,050 km vs 48,650 km in AutoBild) and the safety compromises that define its test results.
Practical takeaway: for an all-season tyre, “good in the dry” isn't enough. The Continental behaves like a true four-season solution; the Roadhog behaves like a budget tyre that's acceptable only when conditions are easy-and that's exactly when you least need an all-season in the first place.

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.
