Ranked #2 of 16
Securing a commendable second place among 16 competitors, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 left a significant mark with its performance, meriting an 'Exemplary' final rating. It exhibited a versatile prowess, especially noted for its convincing winter capabilities that include exceptional snow cornering and snow traction. Moreover, it excelled in dynamic handling and demonstrated notably short braking distances on wet surfaces, which further underscored its all-around competency. Accompanying these strengths was a commendably low exterior noise level, contributing to a quieter driving experience. Additionally, its durability was highlighted through a high mileage potential. Despite its broad set of strengths, the tyre exhibited a tendency to understeer, a minor caveat in an otherwise impressive performance portfolio. Noteworthy achievements in the disciplines of exterior noise, snow cornering, snow traction, and wet braking placed it at the forefront in these specific areas, showcasing its balanced performance across varying conditions.
