Continental AllSeasonContact 2 vs Continental WinterContact TS 870 — Compared

“Am ASC2 215/55/18 95h pe Mazda CX30 și după 8000km nu prezintă așa uzură, deși am fost și pe drumuri pietruite sau forestiere. Doar pe alocuri am observat uzură, tot pe direcție de accelerare, dar deloc grav.”

“Continental Allseason contact 2, just installed, my 2 cents Hello all, just wanted to give my first impression on Continental Allseason Contact 2 , 215/50/18. I've installed them on a small Cuv a few days ago, replacing some Toyo summer tires. First impression, I was amazed how confortable they are, the car feels like it's gliding and feedback is very good. Even at 9 degrees Celsius, they feel very soft. I hope in the summer they will not be even softer. Traction is very good, with the old Toyo tires I would easily break contact when wet and leaving the stop light, but hey, they were already 5 years old, I didn't expect much from them. Continental performs much better. I could only break contact if I really push the pedal,totally normal . They are very silent, I didn't test them outside of the city yet, but I did not hear any hum specific to this type of thread. My only worry is the softness, but we will see how they perform during hotter days in the summer. Read more”

“Seems like you already bough them. I have it on a different car brand with 250+hp and FWD - it’s a competent tyre and suits me perfectly, but according to tests it’s rather wet/rain biased than snow biased. We have very wet winters with little snow so it suits me perfectly, that said on my subaru that sits in an area with proper winters and is used for ski trips we have a continental all season contact 2 which is theoretically also not amazingly great it snow according to tests, but seems to be holding very well, also climbing snow/icy offroad patches with 1 wheel in the air... And even a michelin alpine slides like crazy on fresh snow over a salted asphalt…”
