The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and the Michelin CrossClimate 2 are two notable tyres in the all-round category, each with its strengths and few weaknesses. Upon close evaluation, key highlights emerge for each one.
Starting with the Continental AllSeasonContact 2, made in the Czech Republic, it shines in areas such as snow traction, wear, and wet handling. In Autobild 2023's test, the tyre surprised with its impressive winter qualities, dynamic handling, short braking distances on wet tracks, and a high mileage performance. Not to disregard its low noise and favorable value, as noted in TyreReviews.com's 2024 test. However, there are areas of concern - extended dry braking and low aquaplaning resistance. According to our rating, it scored 81%.
Looking at the Michelin CrossClimate 2, manufactured in Italy and Spain, it shows excellent grip in all conditions - dry, wet, and snowy. Comparatively, this tyre scored 93%. Along with superior exterior noise levels and rolling resistance, the CrossClimate 2 also has good aquaplaning resistance and snow performance. However, long wet braking and high purchase price combined with average wear may count as a bit of a drawback for some users.
In the ALVOLANTE comparison test, Michelin CrossClimate 2 secured second place out of seven tyres, while Continental AllSeasonContact 2 secured fourth place. Moreover, in Autobild's test consisting of sixteen different tyres, Michelin emerged first, and Continental placed second, thus showing the competitive yet top-notch quality of both tyres.
In the end, both Continental and Michelin scored well in their tests, providing dynamic performances with few areas of improvements. Although Michelin came out slightly on top in test positions and overall rating, both tyres have their stand-out points and deliver reliable performance across different conditions. Therefore, the final verdict depends on specific preferences and requirements of the driver.
