When it comes to all-season tyres, the Continental AllSeasonContact and the Michelin CrossClimate+ are top contenders in the market. In this article, we will compare the two tyres based on test results from various sources, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.
Firstly, the Continental AllSeasonContact is known for its winter performance, sporting a 90% rating from us. Its strengths include snow braking, snow cornering, snow handling, snow traction, rolling resistance, and aquaplaning in both longitudinal and cross tests. However, it has a few drawbacks, such as extended dry braking distances and higher prices. Would you just - in one test, the tyre clinched the 1st position, while ranking 5th and 8th in other tests. It outperformed Michelin in tests by Autoklub ČR, ADAC, ACE and AutoMotorSport
On the other hand, the Michelin CrossClimate+ boasts a balanced performance in all weather conditions with an 87% rating from us. This tyre excels in comfort, snow traction, dry braking, exterior noise, rolling resistance, dry handling, and mileage. Its only reported drawback is slight weakness in corner aquaplaning. It ranked 2nd, 3rd, and 12th in different tests - better than the Continental in Autobild.
From the data available, it becomes evident that the Continental AllSeasonContact generally fares better in winter conditions, with its specific strengths lying in snow performance and aquaplaning resistance. The tyre's rolling resistance is also a noteworthy advantage despite the higher price tag.
Meanwhile, the Michelin CrossClimate+ offers a more balanced approach, with good performance in both wet and dry conditions and excellent mileage. With its lower price point and minimal weaknesses, the CrossClimate+ is an ideal choice for those seeking an all-round tyre offering a comfortable and quiet driving experience.
In conclusion, the choice between the Continental AllSeasonContact and the Michelin CrossClimate+ boils down to individual preferences and driving conditions. If you anticipate encountering more winter or wet driving conditions, the Continental AllSeasonContact may be a better option. On the other hand, if you seek a balanced performance throughout the year at a lower price, the Michelin CrossClimate+ is an excellent choice.
