Best test result: #1 of 19 in 2023 UTAC Large Winter Tire Test R16 (wet handling)
“I looked into tyres a while back (not getting the car until next week). In the US, they always seem to fit all-season tyres as standard, whereas the UK has summers as standard. I'm leaning toward all-season long term as I don't want to keep swapping as I currently do on my RWD BMW. Coming from BMW, I quite like the "safety" of runflat tyres, but these aren't readily available in standard Tesla 18" size (235/45), so I'm currently thinking of the Continental all-season Contact Contiseal tyres, which are self-sealing for most punctures, as a compromise. They have M&S & snowflake marking, are B-rated for rolling & wet-grip, and have excellent reviews.”

Exceptional wet and snow traction
Predictable and stable handling characteristics

Tire A
Continental AllSeasonContact
Mixed
Community opinion on the Continental AllSeasonContact is generally positive regarding its winter and wet weather performance, but mixed when it comes to noise, ride harshness, and wear characteristics. Users appreciate its strong snow and rain capabilities compared to competitors, though some note drawbacks such as increased road noise or stiffness over time, particularly for XL-rated variants. Additionally, availability is primarily focused in Europe, making it a well-regarded option overseas while being largely absent in North America.

Tire B
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.

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.
