No owner ratings of noise for AllSeasonContact 2 or CrossClimate. The owner half is the owners’ average (66): owners’ noise ratings barely follow the road tests, so the tests say nothing about how owners would rate it.

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
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.
“I can’t even find the all season contact 2’s for sale. Are they available in the US?”
“Iskustvo sa Continental AllseasonContact 2 Kupio ih u 10 mjesecu prošle godine zasada sam izrazito zadovoljan kako su se pokazale kroz zimu,pa me zanima kako su se vama pokazale kroz vise godina,pogotovo kroz ljeto.”
“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…”

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.
