What real owners are saying

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score

Tire A

Continental AllSeasonContact 2

Positive

The community generally rates the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 highly, praising its wet grip, comfort, quietness, durability/mileage and capable all-weather performance including snow and Alpine ski trips. It is frequently chosen over the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Pirelli Cinturato SF3, though some users report weaker aquaplaning as tread wears, road noise on rough roads, and premature edge wear or cracking on front tyres.

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
