Continental AllSeasonContact 2 dominates all-season tyre tests

Continental’s latest all-season tyre, the AllSeasonContact 2, is dominating this year’s all-season tyre tests, with seven test wins so far in Europe.

In Germany, ACE, which tested the “all-rounder” in winter and summer together with the testing organisation GTÜ and Austria’s ARBÖ, chose it as the test winner with the rating “highly recommended”. It was also the top performer in tests conducted by the German Auto Zeitung, sport auto and the British online medium “Tyre Reviews”.

Independent tyre tests by automobile clubs and trade magazines are an important guide for drivers. According to a 2023 study by Continental, more than two-thirds of European tyre buyers consider the results of independent tyre tests to be very important when choosing a tyre.

Tyre tests usually cover more than 10 criteria and show the qualities of the tested products on winter, wet and dry roads, often together with rolling resistance and road/tyre noise. This gives the consumer a much more differentiated picture than the information provided by the EU tyre label.
