The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 generally receives positive reviews for its exceptional wet and dry grip, refined comfort, and low noise levels, particularly impressing drivers transitioning from summer or budget tires. However, user opinions are somewhat polarized regarding steering response and tread wear, with a segment of reviewers reporting faster-than-expected wear or a softer sidewall feel that impacts high-speed stability.
Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
76/100From 3,275 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
83/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 generally receives positive reviews for its exceptional wet and dry grip, refined comfort, and low noise levels, particularly impressing drivers transitioning from summer or budget tires. However, user opinions are somewhat polarized regarding steering response and tread wear, with a segment of reviewers reporting faster-than-expected wear or a softer sidewall feel that impacts high-speed stability.
Pros
- Exceptional wet weather grip and short braking distances in rain
- High level of ride comfort and superior bump absorption
- Very low noise levels and quiet operation, especially appreciated on EVs and hybrids
- Strong traction and predictable handling in cold temperatures and light-to-moderate snow
Cons
- Faster or premature tread wear reported by several users
- Softer sidewalls leading to a noticeable steering delay or initial dead spot
- Susceptibility to pothole damage and sidewall vulnerability
- Less precise or mushy steering feel during aggressive dry cornering compared to dedicated summer tires
Worth knowing
- EV and hybrid owners noted that the low noise and smooth rolling significantly enhanced the cabin experience, particularly during electric-only operation.
- Drivers of heavier vehicles and performance cars occasionally noted that the softer sidewalls compromised high-speed steering sharpness and contributed to faster front-axle wear.
