If you're searching for the perfect allround tyre collection, two models that may have caught your eye are the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3. These are exceptional models from Continental and Pirelli, respected industry manufacturers known for producing high-quality products.
The AllSeasonContact 2 is the successor of the AllSeasonContact from Continental. The tyre has an 85% rating, largely due to its impressive performance on wet and snowy roads. One of the tyre's standout features is its remarkable wet circle cornering and wet handling abilities. In addition, the tyre possesses superior snow handling, lower exterior noise, and rolling resistance, making it a viable choice for all types of conditions. However, tyre tests indicate average aquaplaning reserves, pointing out a slight area of improvement.
On the other hand, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is a successor to the SF2 variant. This model boasts a remarkable rating of 96% and successfully outperforms the former model in various tests, earning the well-deserved top spots. The tyre excels in comfort, dry braking, and wet handling, with strong performance at aquaplaning. However, the tyre's wear and tear speed seems to be comparatively high, indicating the compromise made for exceptional performance.
In a head-to-head competition, the AllSeasonContact 2 managed to secure the third position in both Aftonbladet and AUTOBILD tests among a significant number of tyre models. On the other hand, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 consistently exhibits impressive performance, securing the second position in both Aftonbladet and AUTOBILD tests and the top spot in the ALVOLANTE tests.
Considering all test results, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 seems to have an edge over the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 delivering better performance in various conditions. However, potential buyers should take into account their specific requirements related to regional weather conditions, driving style, and vehicle type to assure the best possible choice.
