In addition to differences in performance on snowy and wet roads, the testers also found significant differences in performance on dry roads &#8211; for example, there was a difference of 6.3 metres in braking distance from 100 km\/h between the test winner Continental and the runner-up, which is one and a half small car lengths.<\/p>\n<p>The experts from Stuttgart, Germany, tested the performance of all-season tyres on snowy, wet, and dry roads \u2013 after all, these tyres are designed to provide year-round safety. According to the ACE, almost every third tyre sold in Europe today is an all-season tyre. In the test, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is said to have done the best job of balancing the different requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Continental launched the AllSeasonContact 2, an improved version of its award-winning predecessor. It is suitable for a wide range of passenger cars and SUVs, regardless of their powertrain.<\/p>\n<p>Continental says it has significantly increased the mileage of the AllSeasonContact 2 compared to its predecessor while reducing the rolling resistance without compromising on safety.<\/p>\n<p>The AllSeasonContact 2 promises even better dry handling and shorter wet and dry braking distances than its predecessor. The AllSeasonContact 2 is available in a wide range of sizes for rims, from 15 to 21 inches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continental\u2019s AllSeasonContact 2 took first place in the recently published Auto Club Europe (ACE) all-season tyre test with the highest rating of \u2018highly recommended\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":37887,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,1],"tags":[786],"class_list":["post-37886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-continental","category-news","tag-continental"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
