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.”

    No owner ratings of noise for AllSeasonContact. 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.

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.

“.... Nexen beats out Michelin, Continental, Goodyear and Nokian Surprise loser, is Michelin. Test winner: Nexen N blue 4 Season To solve the goal conflicts succeeds in the test the Nexen N blue 4 Season best. With good performances on wet and ice, the Korean tire on dry and snow-covered road is a bit weaker, but still acceptable. The new AllSeasonContact from Conti , on the other hand, solves the classic conflict of objectives of wetness vs. Snow very well - but at the expense of performance on dry roads. On dry land, the next-ranked Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 and Nokian Wheatherproof are also showing weaknesses. With the exception of the Firestone (worst dry and wet performance), all tires behind it ride on snow only below average - even the most expensive model in the test, the low- wear CrossClimate from Michelin”

“Ai presupune ca au remediat sau imbunatatit ceva la allseason 2 dar exact acelasi tip de uzura am observat si eu la Continental Allseason Contact 1. Nu le-am luat din magazin, le-am luat de la cineva care pretinde ca au fost folosite maxim 2000km, aveau DOT sfarsit de 2022 si adancime profil 6.5-7mm. N-am fost atent daca erau asa de cand le-am luat poate daca observam le evitam, dar dupa nici 2 luni de folosire (sub 1000km) cand am verificat presiunea din roti cu o ocazie am observat si eu exact acelas tip de uzura. Am zis ca iau continental ca-s mai premium si n-am treaba multi ani, pentru ca si asa fac sub 6000km pe an. Daca stiam mai puneam cateva sute de lei si luam hankook sau nexen cu DOT 2024.”

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.
