Comparing the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and the Michelin CrossClimate 2, these two all-round tyres from reputable manufacturers, Continental and Michelin, have their own strengths and weaknesses, as determined by various tyre tests.
The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 demonstrates impressive performance overall, with our rating standing at 85%. This tyre model, made in the Czech Republic, takes the first position in the SPORTAUTO test and a commendable third place in the extensive AUTOBILD test involving 37 tyres. The tyre shines for its low exterior noise, effective rolling resistance, good snow handling, and wet circle cornering and handling. However, in the autobild 2024 test, the tyre showed average aquaplaning resistance and was noted for its high price.
On the other hand, the Michelin CrossClimate 2, made in Italy and Spain, scores higher in our rating, with a notable 93%. This tyre replaces the previous Michelin CrossClimate model. In the ALVOLANTE test, the tyre earned second place, out of 7 tyres tested, and fourth position in the SPORTAUTO test. Particularly, the CrossClimate 2 is praised for its high mileage, rolling resistance, and snow cornering and handling capabilities. In the autobild 2023 and TyreReviews.com 2024 tests, the tyre showcases good grip in the dry, high aquaplaning resistance, best snow performance handling, and lowest noise in the test, but fell short for its long wet braking and high purchase price with average wear.
To summarize, both tyres show solid performance in different conditions. The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 excels in snow handling and noise reduction, but struggles somewhat in wet conditions and is slightly more expensive. The Michelin CrossClimate 2 shows great mileage and snow cornering ability, but its wet braking performance and higher cost could be its downsides.
In the end, the choice between these two tyres comes down to the specific needs and preferences of the driver. It's recommended to consider the specific conditions in which you'll be primarily using the tyres before making a final decision.
