Goodyear Assurance All-Season vs Continental AllSeasonContact — Compared

“Originally Posted By: UG_Passat .... 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 LOL, I am waiting 25 years for ADAC to test tires after 20k. This is not first time ADAC has "surprise" winner.”

“Am avut Conti All Season Contact Mk1 cu dimensiunea 235/45/18. Le-am tinut 4 ani, in care am facut 120.000 km cu ele ( 93% regim de autostrada ). La 65.000 km au inceput sa vibreze intre 120-130 km/hsi pe la 95.000 km zgomotul interior a crescut simtitor. La 120.000 lm, cu 4 mm adancime profil oe toate, le-am schimbat cu Conti All Season Contact Mk2. Am deja 9000 km cu ele : taie prin apa cel putin la fel de bine ca si Mk 1, franare sigura, zgomot mult redus ( efectiv liniste inauntru comparativ cu celelalte ). Motivul pentru care nu am schimbat cu Pirelli, e cam am vaxut rapoarte pe tyrereviews.com cum ca ar vibra dincolo de orice echilibrare, chiar si noi. Am trevut prin asa ceva - iti vine sa arunci masina. Nu multumesc. Te poti uita si la Michelin CrossClimate 3.”

“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.”
