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
79/100From 3,362 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 3,362 owner reviews found online.
The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is widely praised by users for its exceptional wet and dry grip, impressive ride comfort, and low noise levels, making it a stellar refinement over many standard or summer tires. While the majority of drivers highlight its excellent cold-weather capability and stability, some report mixed experiences regarding steering feel and faster-than-expected tread wear depending on driving style and vehicle weight.
Pros
- Outstanding wet weather grip and short braking distances
- High level of ride comfort with excellent bump absorption
- Noticeably quiet and refined cabin noise compared to predecessors
- Reliable traction and predictable handling in cold weather and light snow
- Reduced wheel spin on high-torque vehicles (including EVs and hybrids)
Cons
- Softer sidewalls can result in delayed steering response or a less sharp initial turn-in feel
- Faster tread wear reported by some users, particularly on front-wheel-drive or heavier vehicles
- Susceptibility to sidewall damage or delamination from severe potholes
- Slightly looser dry-handling limit compared to dedicated summer tires
Worth knowing
- Drivers of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids noted a significant reduction in launch wheel spin and appreciated the quiet operation in electric mode.
- Users fitting XL-rated versions on crossovers and larger hatchbacks noted improved stability over rough surfaces and better absorption of harsh bumps.
- Sportier vehicles or high-torque setups occasionally experienced a 'folding' sensation or delayed steering feedback during aggressive cornering.

What owners are saying
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of the scores above.
The community generally rates the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 highly, praising its wet grip, comfort, quietness, durability/mileage and capable all-weather performance including snow and Alpine ski trips. It is frequently chosen over the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Pirelli Cinturato SF3, though some users report weaker aquaplaning as tread wears, road noise on rough roads, and premature edge wear or cracking on front tyres.
