Drawn from 16 tests. Updated October 27, 2026.
Across 16 independent all-season tests, the Toyo Celsius AS2 most consistently stands out for safety reserves in standing water and for low cost of ownership. Aquaplaning performance is repeatedly near the top of its class (e.g. 1st of 8 for straight aquaplaning in the 2022 Sport Auto test; 2nd of 17 for curved aquaplaning in the 2022 Auto Bild test; 4th of 16 for curved aquaplaning in the 2024 ADAC test), aligning with tester comments such as “superior aquaplaning safety” and “good aquaplaning reserves”. It also regularly posts strong projected mileage and value metrics (e.g. wear 2nd of 15 in 2022 Auto Bild, 2024 Auto Bild and 2025 Auto Bild; “long projected tread life and low running costs” in 2026 Auto Bild), sometimes combined with very good rolling resistance (1st of 17 in 2024 Auto Bild; 2nd of 13 in 2022 Auto Bild SUV).

The Toyo Celsius AS2 shares twelfth place and is rated good. It is a wet-weather specialist with low running costs, but its snow results make it a poor fit for drivers who expect regular winter conditions.
The Toyo Celsius AS2 proves to be a kilometer-eater with low overall running costs. This Japanese tyre focuses on longevity and economy, delivering dependable if unremarkable performance. While it manages costs effectively through good wear rates, it shows slight weaknesses in snow performance that prevented a better overall ranking.
The Toyo Celsius AS2 tyre receives an overall adequate rating for driving safety. It shows significant weaknesses on dry roads at high temperatures and clearly misses good ratings on both wet and winter surfaces. On dry surfaces, the tyre offers barely adequate steering feedback and lacks precision. The driver must make frequent corrections due to delayed steering response and inconsistent cornering. The test vehicle tends to oversteer early in dynamic maneuvers, resulting in an adequate rating for limit behavior. Braking distance is rated as satisfactory. On wet roads, the Celsius AS2 performs satisfactorily overall. It receives good ratings for aquaplaning resistance but narrowly misses a good rating in braking. Its handling is rated as merely adequate, struggling to combine longitudinal and lateral forces effectively and showing early and pronounced under- or oversteer. In winter conditions, the Toyo achieves a satisfactory result. It scores well in snow and ice braking, but only satisfactory in traction and snow handling. The test vehicle offers satisfactory steering precision, but with a narrow and low performance limit. Environmentally, the Japanese-made Toyo Celsius AS2 receives a good rating. It scores well in both projected mileage and wear. The tyre also impresses with its efficiency, showing comparatively low weight and fuel consumption..
The Toyo Celsius AS2 lost out mostly in the wet and snow, and while it was ok in the dry, it didn't really jump out in any category.
