Today, we are comparing two allround tyre models, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3.
The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 model, produced in the Czech Republic, comes with an overall rating from our website at 85%. Strengths include its performance on snow, wet circle cornering and handling, low rolling resistance, and exterior noise. The team at TyreReviews.com specifically praised it for great performance in dry and wet handling, excellent snow traction, the lowest wear on the test and great value for money. However, they noted that the tyre's weak point is its lower than average aquaplaning resistance. Regardless, this tyre secured the 3rd place position among 37 tyres tested by the AUTOBILD team, showing it's a solid option.
On the other hand, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 tyre, the successor to the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2, scores impressively high with a 96% rating from our website. This tyre stands out for its aquaplaning - longitudinal resistance, comfort, dry braking and wet handling as per the AUTOBILD team. According to TyreReviews.com, it additionally performs well in dry handling, aquaplaning - cross & longitudinal, and snow traction. The Pirelli tyre did exhibit a downside with its slightly extended snow braking and highest wear, impacting its overall value. Nevertheless, it outperformed the Continental model in AUTOBILD's evaluation, coming in 2nd out of 37 tyres, and took the top spot in the ALVOLANTE test out of 7 tyres, attesting to its superior performance.
In summary, both these allround tyres present as reliable options with their own strengths. The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 fares exceptionally in snow conditions and provides great value, but has room for improvement in aquaplaning resistance. The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 delivers across different conditions, particularly dry, and provides better aquaplaning resistance, although extended snow braking and higher wear were noted downsides. Going solely by the ranking in mutual tests, the Pirelli tyre is the frontrunner. However, the choice between these two should be guided by the specific needs and priorities of each driver.
