Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the strongest performer on dry roads in this test, taking the top spot in dry handling with a sporty character. It also has the second-lowest rolling resistance, which helps fuel consumption. On wet roads it is competitive without leading, finishing third in wet braking and second in wet handling. Snow performance is solid but not class-leading, with mid-pack results across snow braking, handling and slalom, and the lowest snow traction figure of the group. Its weakest area is aquaplaning resistance, where it has the lowest floating speed and the lowest lateral grip in the curved aquaplaning test.

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 produced the shortest wet braking distance of the test and was within a few percent of the leader in dry braking, cornering and subjective handling. Its wet-weather safety margin is the standout.
The Continental's coasting distance was the shortest of the four tyres, and its ride had some additional low-speed vertical motion that may not suit every driver. It is also the second-most expensive option.
The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 took second place with 94 points. Its main strength is wet braking, where it beat the rest of the group by more than a metre, and it was within a small margin of the Michelin in almost every other test. A balanced, safe choice in poor conditions.

Questions and Answers for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2

Ask a question
November 29, 2023

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?

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.

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.

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.
January 21, 2025

Does the All season contact 2 have rimprotectors in size 225/40 R18 92Y?

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.
April 4, 2025

What value is the treadwear of this tyre?

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.

On my Rav4 plug-in I have Rotalla Allseason Tires 235/55/19 105w. They were on It when I bought it. Hier is pretty harsh Drive. No comfort at all . Which is my best choice to get more comfort while drive over bumps and bad road. Michellin Crossclimate 2. Size 235/55/19 101T Continental Allseasoncontact 2 235/55/19 101T Or 18” Rims with the above but then -size 235/60/18 103T Or -size 225/60/18 100H Or Kleber Quadrax Suv 225/60/18 100H

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.
May 27, 2025

Could you tell me how many kilometers you can do with a Continental All Season Contact 2 tyre?

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.

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.

If you look at <a href="/Compare/Turanza-All-Season-6-VS-AllSeasonContact-2.htm">this comparison</a> you will see that the ASC2 holds a slight wear advantage over the Bridgestone.

Review Summary

Based on 46 user reviews

Drivers generally describe the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 as a strong all-rounder with particularly confidence-inspiring wet grip and braking, good dry performance for an all-season, and reassuring capability in light snow. Comfort and cabin refinement are frequently praised, with many reporting low noise and a supple ride, and several high-scoring reviews noting very slow, even wear. The main recurring criticism is steering feel: a noticeable on-centre dead spot or soft sidewall/response delay that reduces precision (especially when pushed or at higher speeds), with wear rate mentioned as a smaller, mixed minority concern.

Strengths
  • Strong wet grip and braking; stable in heavy rain
  • Good all-round traction/handling across changing temperatures
  • Comfortable ride quality and good bump absorption
  • Generally low road noise (often quieter than prior tyres)
  • Capable winter performance for an all-season (snow/slush/ice handled predictably)
Areas for Improvement
  • Vague steering feel/slow response (soft sidewalls
  • On-centre dead spot
  • Less precision especially when pushed or at speed)

Top 3 Continental AllSeasonContact 2 Reviews

Given 77% while driving a Volkswagen Caddy (205/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 18,542 easy going miles
First time I tried all season tires, I got these tires because were I live we have a more moderate weather in spring,summer and autumn.
But I wanted to be secure into autumn before winter, the temperature can drop too 0 degree (celius) in the night to mornings. (Don't worry, we always get nordic winter tires in the winter).

They aren't for sporty tires, feel secure in dry and wet weather.
Low noise, good comfort.

We had some torrential rain, were you could barley see the road more then 200-500 meters infront of you, full of water on the road.

The tires felt steardy, car stable. Something else I've notice as well, might have done with that I am not used too premium tires, but when it hasen't rained for a long time, and it does rain, the roads here usually get very slippery esp in the turns.... Don't feel it anymore.

The front tires has 5,2 mm left and back tires around 6 mm.

Still mid August right now, will make a new update closer too winter on the end life of the tires.

Given 97% while driving a Audi A6 (245/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 2,100 average miles
On my Audi A6 2.8 Quattro FSI, i am using 245/45R18. Let me start by saying they never let me down, not even once, after driving for a bit over 3.000km with them. I never had tire spinning or problems to stop and they handle corners extremely well. Grip is awesome and i feel response when i accelerate.
I didn't drive them through heavy snow or over very icy roads. Having them on a bit over one year, they still look like new.
I know dedicated season tire would outperform them but for the climate i live in they are perfect. This is not too powerful car that needs some UHP tires. Comfort was a priority but i got a lot more from these tires. Noise levels are acceptable, even when i am driving with music turned off.

Huge letdown- premature failure!
I have bought 3 sets of Continental AllSeason Contact 2 - for my Golf Alltrack, my wife's Skoda and my Mini Cooper an I was really impressed with them until today when I have noticed a huge ripped tyre tread with separation. The front left tyre is the one most affected. Remind you, I bought them 1 Year ago, and the mileage is around 15.000 Km on them, at most!

I don't know if i qualify for warranty. I do not drive on the track and I don't drive too fast either. Only asphalted roads in Germany, never once off-road!

Given 97% while driving a Toyota Auris (195/65 R15) on for 1,000 miles
I bought the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 because I got tired of changing summer and winter tires every season. Where I live, we rarely get significant snowfall, but I still wanted a tire that meets winter standards and can handle unexpected winter conditions when needed.

Before these, I always used budget summer and winter tires. The first thing that impressed me was how much difference a premium tire can make in terms of comfort and driving experience. It honestly feels like I'm driving a different car. The ride is noticeably smoother, more comfortable, and much quieter compared to the budget tires I was used to.

This was the first time in my life that I decided to spend more money on a premium tire brand, and I don't regret it at all. As a young person, budget tires always seemed like the sensible choice. However, after experiencing the AllSeasonContact 2, I finally understand where the extra money goes. The improvement in comfort, refinement, and overall driving quality is immediately noticeable.

So far, my first impressions are extremely positive, and I believe these tires are an excellent choice for drivers who want year-round convenience without compromising safety, comfort, and performance.

I bought these tires exactly one year and 7,500 km ago. Compared to the previous summer Turanzas, as I expected, they are softer when braking and cornering. I use them mainly on dry country roads: I have to say they perform well, even in sudden emergency brakes, especially on wet roads, a little less so on dry ones. Shock absorption is excellent, although they are noisier on the highway. As for wear, after driving 70% country roads, 20% city roads, and 10% highways, in 7,500 km, with a leisurely drive on a 95 HP Polo AW1 petrol car, I noticed a 0.3-0.4 mm tread wear.

On previous cars have run Michelin cross climates in their various revisions. The tyres supplied with the new car were Continental Premium Contact 6, they were ok but not outstanding, with the onset on winter upgraded to Continental AllSeasonContact 2, partly because there is limited suppliers of the size needed. The grip and handling and even tyre noise (except over very bad road services) all improved. Yet to be tested on very hot days so we will see how they handle the summer months. They appear better than the Michelins run in the past.

I bought these for a second car in the family which doesn't make a lot of km but it has to be ready when needed so an all season tyre seemed like a logical choice. I decided for premiums to be on a safe side as this was my first experience with all season tyres.

Already in first season I had to drive in heavy snow: they worked, I survived, at the limit they were progressive, no issues. In wet, also very nice, no issues. Comfort is also very good. However, I give them a huge minus for behaving in dry. Already at 15°C they just hate to turn, in curves the car just sits on sidewalls which feel like paper. Tyre pressure checked. Of course nobody expect wonders in this size on a small car, but still, to not feel like I am abusing my car and tyres I have to drive ridiculously slow in corners. Not acceptable for the price. I mean, I could just buy winter tyres instead.

I bought this tire to use as a winter tire in a mild climate and I've been very impressed. It doesn't feel much worse in terms of response and handling than my summer tires which are Goodyear Asymmetric 5's, in fact they have better traction in the rain than my summer tires which are worn and a few years old to be fair. My car has about 270hp and it puts all the power down in 2nd gear in damp conditions. Amazing tire all around that can be driven spiritedly with no issues and can also handle a bit of snow and ice as long as you're careful, which you have to be anyway with a dedicated winter tire.

Given 28% while driving a BMW 520d M Sport (245/45 R18) on for 5,000 miles
I am coming from Hankook Kinergy 4S2. These were excellent all season tires.
I changed to Continental AllSeason Contact 2.
Compared to the Hankook, the Continentals offer similar grip in dry and wet, though braking is noticeably worse.
However, where the Continentals suck is feel and input lag.
The continentals are absolutely not enjoyable to drive.
When you turn the steering wheel, you need to wait ages for the tires to react. I am absolutely stunned that Continental could create such a tire. On a few occasions I swerved left and right quickly in succession - the car feels like its on pudding, and the feeling is absolute crap.
I do not recommend these types - I have had many all season tires in the past and none behaved like this.

I bought Continental AllseasonContact 2 for my Dacia Logan after I drove my Wife Opel Astra J equipped with Continental AllseasonContact 1 and was pretty impressed by them. We had a trip of 2500 km and they were great.
I have around 20000 km on the Dacia Logan with them and I like them, but I don't see a difference that big between these tyres and some other ones, your choosing. They handle very well in almost allweather conditions, with an exception on slush. I had a few days with slush back home and they were pretty slippery (see photo attached). I can feel the difference between C AC2 and a dedicated winter tyre, but I am not disappointed for buying them.
I was trying to buy Michelin CrossClimate 3 at the time, but they were barely launched and the only size available in Romania was 205/55/16, whilst I needed 195/55/16. I couldn't wait more as my current tyres at that time were almost gone, so I went for C AC2.
Now, with this knowledge, if I was to buy another set of tyres, I would go for M CC3 or something in the middle sector (kumho or maybe laufenn).
I am a normal driver, I try to drive safe, although I do have some days when I like to see how the car handles on the road with a little sporty driving* **

** - remember that I drive a Dacia Logan, how sporty can that be :)

Excellent all-season tyres. Summer performance on dry and wet roads is as good as dedicated summer tyres. Much more comfortable and quieter than my old Sailun Attrezzo ZSR2.

The real surprise is winter grip. On snow, they behave predictably, very close to my previous Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 winter tyres. Acceleration, steering, and braking feel safe and controlled.

The only expected weakness is on black ice and wet packed snow, but even studded tires struggle there. A great balanced choice for mild winters.

Tyres are good, are the second scorers of my entire life, I must admit that the number one still a Michelin Summer Tyres from couples of year ago! I still search for that handling type but for an all season for an EV these are amazing tires! Let see on summer how they work

The tyres are premium and perform really well in the Wet and Dry ,you do get road noise if driving on a concrete surface. i have not tried these in snow as it has not snowed this year in the uk.I had michelin crossclimate 2: before these on a ford fiesta and they were as good but i had the chance to try them in the snow and they were excellent if hoping my continental all season contact 2s are good in snow.

To start off with a story - hardest snow test turned out to be a very steep hill up the mountain with up to 10 cm/4 inch deep snow/slush without any treatment, where even winter tyres would no doubt struggled. After the first failed attempt I realized that the traction control was getting in the way. So I turned it off and let the AS2s grind their way up the hill no problem, heavy torqui engine in the front no doubt helped. Other than that I drove mostly on dry and wet roads and the handling/braking and overall experience was always excellent. I was little afraid of how will the all season tyres cope with high summer temperatures (30°C+), but did not notice any change - just the same stable and predictable behavior. I have 205/55 R16 91H and can confirm that they are very quiet as well. After a year and over 10K miles/16K kilometers I can confirm that it was an excellent choice and tyres still have plenty of life left in them. The reason I am writing the review now is because I just both a new pair of AS2s - since I unfortunatelly destroyed my left front tyre on a sharp curb - my bad... I swapped the rear tyres to the front, since they still have approximately 6 mm deep tread and put a new pair to the back. Very happy with my purchase.
