Performance Analysis

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 - Official Image

Continental's AllSeasonContact 2 is a top-tier, well-balanced all-season tyre with outstanding wet grip and efficiency, consistently finishing near the top across varied tests (average overall position 2.8; multiple test wins/podiums; 2x Highly Recommended). It repeatedly leads or challenges for best-in-class in wet braking/handling and rolling resistance, while offering strong snow traction/handling for an all-season and competitive wear. Its main compromises are average-to-below-average dry braking and aquaplaning resistance, plus occasional elevated noise in certain sizes/tests, though subjective comfort is often praised.
