Continental AllSeasonContact 2
We had high expectations of the new all season Continental and it certainly didn't disappoint. It leans a bit towards mileage, which is a great strategy considering all season tyres are not usually used for sporty driving.
- Exceptional handling on the wet
- Great handling on snow
- Short braking distance on wet roads
- Low drive-by noise levels
- Low rolling resistance/low fuel consumption
- Below average aquaplaning resistance

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3

- Very good aquaplaning resistance
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Great handling on dry roads
- Exceptional traction on snow

- Exceptional traction on snow
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Short braking distance on snow
- Very good aquaplaning resistance
- Low rolling resistance/low fuel consumption
- Bad value for the money
