Continental AllSeasonContact vs Firestone MultiSeason — Compared

“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.”

“.... 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.”
