Performance Analysis

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 - Official Image

Across 21 independent tests the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 shows consistently front-running all-season performance (average overall position 2.8) with repeated podium finishes and multiple overall wins (e.g., 1st/12 Auto Bild Crossover SUV 2025, 1st/8 Sport Auto 2024, 1st/12 Auto Bild SUV 2024). The tyre's core strength is balanced, confidence-inspiring grip-particularly in wet handling/braking-often matching or pressuring the best in class, while also frequently delivering class-leading efficiency (rolling resistance) and strong comfort/low noise in several tests.

    • 1st place wet handling in 2024 Sport Auto All Season test (215/40 R18)
    • Consistent wet braking near the top in large-field Auto Bild tests: 2nd/30 wet braking (+2.3%) in 2025 Auto Bild braking shootout; 2nd/35 wet braking (+0.9%) in 2023 Auto Bild shootout; 3rd/18 wet braking (+5.8%) in 2023 Auto Bild full test

    • 1st place rolling resistance in 2025 Auto Bild Camper Van All Season test (245/45 R18) and 1st place rolling resistance in 2024 Motor SUV All Season test (235/60 R18)
    • Top-tier efficiency repeated in major group tests: 2nd/18 rolling resistance in 2023 Auto Bild All Season test; 3rd/17 rolling resistance (+2.0%) in 2024 Auto Bild All Season test (225/50 R17)
  • All-round balance / consistent multi-surface performance Strong
    • Overall wins/podiums in varied sizes/vehicles: 1st/12 (Auto Bild SUV 2024), 1st/8 (Sport Auto 2024), 1st/12 (Auto Bild Crossover SUV 2025), 2nd/17 (Auto Bild 2025 225/40 R18), 2nd/16 (ADAC 2025)
    • Testers explicitly highlighted consistency: 2025 Motor All Season test noted it was the 'most consistent tyre across all surfaces' and a safety benefit when conditions change
  • Snow traction (ability to pull away / longitudinal snow grip) Moderate
    • 1st place snow traction in 2025 Tyre Reviews All Season test (best of the all-season tyres)
    • 1st place snow traction in 2024 Tyre Reviews All Season test (205/55 R16)

Performance Weaknesses

    • Last in aquaplaning in 2026 Auto Bild Mini All Season test: 5/5 straight aquaplaning (+8.6%) and 5/5 curved aquaplaning (+17.2%)
    • Weak curved-aqua pattern in key Auto Bild tests: 12/17 curved aquaplaning (+17.8%) in 2025 Auto Bild All Season test; 13/17 (+18.1%) in 2024 Auto Bild All Season test; 14/18 (+17.6%) in 2023 Auto Bild All Season test

    • Underwhelming versus best summer tyres in mixed test context: 13/14 dry braking (+16.1%) in 2025 UTAC/Aftonbladet Summer & All Season test
    • Dry braking typically only mid-pack even when overall strong: 10/18 (+12.2%) in 2023 Auto Bild All Season test and 7/12 (+15.3%) in 2024 Auto Bild SUV All Season test

    • Wear can be good but not consistently class-leading across datasets: 3/16 wear in Auto Bild 2023 (58,923 km) vs mid-pack 8/15 in Auto Bild 2024 and 10/15 in Auto Bild 2025
  • Noise (inconsistency across tests) Minor
    • Worst-in-test external noise in 2025 Tyre Reviews All Season test: 11/11 noise (+4.2%)
    • While sometimes excellent (1/8 noise in Sport Auto 2024; 2/5 noise in Auto Bild Mini 2026), several tests show only mid-pack: 7/16 noise in ADAC 2025 and 7/11 in Auto Bild Camper Van 2025
