2026 Auto Bild All Season Tyre Test P5 of 15

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 shares fifth place and is rated good. It is a comfortable, even all-rounder, but weaker aquaplaning, longer dry braking and high running costs leave it further back than its overall consistency suggests.

Rim Protection
Small

A modest lip. Enough for a slow scrape against a kerb, but it will not save a wheel from a real hit.

Assessed by eye on the tyres we tested, in the sizes listed. No manufacturer publishes rim protection as a specification, so treat this as a guide rather than a measurement.

Hi team, hi everyone. I live in Tuscany (Italy) in the high hills, about 700 meters above sea level. The climate is temperate, rainy, but very hot in summer. Show more Hi team, hi everyone.
I live in Tuscany (Italy) in the high hills, about 700 meters above sea level.
The climate is temperate, rainy, but very hot in summer. Snow is rarely seen nowadays (only 1 at most 2 times a year, so it is not a problem).
My driving style is calm and relatively cautious, and the roads I travel are mainly extra-urban and very smooth. My car is a Kia Carens(141 cv) Automatic gearbox, 225/45/17.
My question, essentially, concerns the preference between Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6, not so much on the quality of the products (widely enough for my needs on both sides), but on the mileage!
I am looking, at the end of the day, for the best tire of those two in terms of mileage.
Many thanks to anyone who wants to give me an advice and infinite thanks to Jonathan and the others for their brilliant job. Show less
June 10, 2025
If you look at this comparison you will see that the ASC2 holds a slight wear advantage over the Bridgestone.

Could you tell me how many kilometers you can do with a Continental All Season Contact 2 tyre?
May 27, 2025
There are a number of tests which have wear included, the ASC2 is one of the best performing tyres on the market, but mileage will vary a lot on driving style, vehicle and size. You can find all the test data on the site in the test section.

The biggest sidewall will always give you the most most comfort, and based on my experience the EU CrossClimate 2 will offer slightly better impact than the Conti.
What value is the treadwear of this tyre?
April 4, 2025
Treadwear can vary based on size. We don't keep any of the values in our database as it's not really a used metric in the EU but i'm sure if you contact Continental they will be able to advise.
Does the All season contact 2 have rimprotectors in size 225/40 R18 92Y?
January 21, 2025
I've not handled that size, I don't recall a meaningful rim protector on the 235/35 R19" version I tested, though it did sit wider on the wheel than some of its competitors which gives it an advantage against curbs.
Hi guys. Can someone tell me how can i find working temperatures for Continental Allseason contact2? Show more Hi guys. Can someone tell me how can i find working temperatures for Continental Allseason contact2? My city temperature will increase 40-45 degrees in summer( just 1month) . I wonder that will this thyre still working that temperature well. Am I have to change my tyres for this period or will it be still nice to use it even if that temperatures. Show less
November 10, 2024
It will be no problem to use the AllSeasonContact 2 in normal driving in those temperatures. It's certainly at the warmer end of the temperature range but you don't have to worry about the tyre failing.
For the tyre Continental AllSeasonContact you wrote that it is summer-bias all season tyre and I wonder if the same can be said for Continental AllSeasonContact 2… Show more For the tyre Continental AllSeasonContact you wrote that it is summer-bias all season tyre and I wonder if the same can be said for Continental AllSeasonContact 2 or there is a difference? Which tire of the two can be said to be more summer-bias all season tyre? Show less
November 29, 2023
The CrossClimate 1 was the original summar bias all season tyre, the ASC and ASC2 are a little more winter bias, but looking at the market as a whole they sit somewhere in the middle. The ASC2 is an evolution of the ASC1 so I expect it to have a similar balance of performance, just more grip.

What owners say summarised from 61 reviews

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.

Since I live in central Europe, for the last 7 years I always went with all season tyres. Previously on my VW T-Roc I had Michelin crossclimate2. When I changed a car, I decided to give a try to Continental, and boy was that a good move. Continental behaves more or less like Michelin in every aspect, except for the wet handling. With Continental I feel much more control on a steering wheel, especially on higher speed.

I 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.

Superb in all conditions. After 2000 miles tyres still look new. Just rotated front to back. Fronts at over 7mm years at 6mm. I run them at 38psi which works very well. Continental tyres are a premium product without question. I am a customer for life.

Replaced original runflat's for A/S Contact2 XL
Better in the wet and cold climate including snow. Not the quietest tyre though better than runflats in dealing with bumps and very noisy road surfaces.
Being XL they have improved the ability to deal with uneven road surfaces and jaring bumps and not destroyed the sporty ish ability of the car. Having adaptive suspension is great and the conti 2 xl works well.
Next time, I will look for an A/Season tyre with less noise if I can find some, as although improved, no way near perfect though this may be the cost of A/S tyres against the best summer tyre.

Softer than the summer performance tyres I used previously. These suit the car much better and don’t loose too much feeling when pushed to their limit, and can still be fun on a warm day. Would much rather know my tyres will get me somewhere on a bad day rather than be at optimum on warm day in a B road.

    First time i have placed anything other than premium summer sport tyres on this car, and i can tell immediately that they are more comfort orientated. There's a more noticeable delay to respond to sharper steering input, but i have no doubt in the tyre's ability to grip after the tyre wall slack is taken up.

    Car is more comfortable and i think a little less noisy with these tyres fitted. Appears to handle better than summer sport tyres on gravel tracks with less slip perceived on inclines.

    Doesn't seem to be well advertised but i'm impressed with the rim protectors as well, which are generous and should afford the rims a least a chance

I drive the tyre on 2 vehicles, on a Honda e as the only all-season tyre and on a BMW M240i G42 xDrive as a winter and touring tyre. On the Honda, the tyre understeers a bit, while on the BMW, the tyre behaves normally (Square Four setup), but during high power use at the corner exit, it then 'folds' at the back, or power is regulated down. The outstanding feature of the tyre is its comfort, without feeling mushy. Yesterday, I switched from Conti SC7 to AllSeasonContact 2 on the BMW because I want to embark on a Northern Italy tour with several passes over 2000 meters. Honestly, I like the ASC2 almost better than the SC7. It drives smoother/harmoniously, but doesn't provide the same high-speed stability at the rear as the SC7. I really like the ASC2.

I have used it in snowy mountain areas and on fast roads. I have driven on ice and snow. Even in torrential rain. In all situations, I have been surprised by the safety they project.

As previously stated, these tyres are far more comfortable than the previous Bridgestone summer tyres. However their softer sidewalls seem to have a major drawback! Over the past two years I have had to replace the nearside tyres four times because of delamination or sidewall punctures, due to pothole damage. I have never had this problem on previous tyres, and although I realise there are far more potholes around now I am not at all confident that they are suitable for British roads.

    I bought these tyres to replace the Bridgestone Dueler summer tyres fitted by Skoda as after 20,000 miles these had worn significantly on the outer edges of the tread.

    After a 1,000 miles, they seem to be more comfortable and quieter, but the extra tread depth seems to have the side effect of making the steering slightly less precise. I haven't detected any change to fuel consumption, or grip, but now the temperatures are dropping I expect them to have more grip on winter roads.

In the third season of use, they became very dangerous to use during icy conditions in the autumn-winter period. I had to switch to my old winter tyres Michelin Alpin 5, and the problems disappeared.

These Continentals replaced some truly dangerous Chinese Goodride tyres fitted by a previous owner (which wandered so badly at speed and on the wet I thought I had serious suspension problems) and they were a revelation. Just so comfortable and accurate, their only flaws so far seem to be slightly higher wear than I was expecting, and thin sidewalks like much of the competition that make them susceptible to pothole damage like most brands. I would rate the Michelin CrossClimate 2 higher for performance, but those are much stiffer and less comfortable.

It’s been almost two years since my 4 tyres were fitted. 28,000 miles driven. All 4 tyres have 5mm tread depth remaining, or approximately 47% worn. Tyres are wearing evenly. I am very happy with these tyres as all-rounders for varied road and weather types. I’m not a boy racer but occasionally like to get as spirited as the car will let me. I’ve never been let down by the tyres, but I also know I am driving within their capacity. The wear rate seems really good for me. I’m also using the run-flats so comfort is a little stiffer but I also like it that way anyway. Took the car to Europe last winter and was not let down in snowy and icy conditions over there. In summary, super happy, suit me well and will replace with the same when the time comes. Cheers.
