What real owners are saying

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

Tire A

Continental AllSeasonContact 2

Positive

Community members generally praise the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 for its excellent wet grip, strong winter and snow performance, and comfortable, quiet ride. While it is widely seen as a top-tier alternative to the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3, some users have reported concerns regarding premature tread wear, edge cracking, or high noise levels on certain vehicle setups.

“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…”

“I run the Continental Allseason Contact 2. This is a 3MPSF All Season a.k.a All-Weather tire. If I'm not mistaken pretty much all tires in this category are Touring tires. They're comfortable & quiet but not as sporty as an UHP AS. That said they also have a lot more winter capability vs. the UHP AS. The Cross Climate 2 outperforms some winter tires. I don't think the Conti All Season Contact 2 is offered in North America but the Michelin Cross Climate 2 is. I run the Cross Climate 2 on my Atlas year-round. These are comfortable, quiet and can take on Swiss Alps roads in January like a tank. I bought a set for my Golf GTI but ended up selling them before I even used them.”

“Conti! Got the CC2 put on my brand new C class. Was not happy at all. They were loud and caused vibrations at 80kmh and 110-120kmh which were too noticeable to accept. Drove 3500km with them. Complained, dealer replaced them to ASC2 free of charge, and the car now drives like butter.”

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.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score. Full methodology
