When it comes to all-round tyres, two models that deserve notable mentions are the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and the Toyo Celsius AS2. Released by global tyre manufacturers Continental and Toyo, these models were designed with all-round performance in mind.
In our tests, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 largely outperformed the Toyo Celsius AS2. With an overall rating of 85%, it provides balanced performance and a strong showing in various test categories such as snow handling and wet circle cornering. Despite its tendency to understeer and its relatively average aquaplaning reserves, it still managed to secure top-tier rankings in AUTOBILD and ACE tests.
In contrast, the Toyo Celsius AS2, with a rating of 54%, boasts a harmonious ride on dry surfaces and excellent mileage. Its strengths lie in comfort, exterior noise, and price/value ratio. However, it falls short in snow performance and grip, particularly during wet conditions.
Overall, while the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 might come with a slightly elevated price point, it provides consistent, high-quality performance across different road conditions, as evidenced by its top key features: snow handling, wet circle cornering, dry handling, and wet braking. This makes it an especially desirable choice for drivers who frequently travel in varied weather conditions.
The Toyo Celsius AS2, on the other hand, is more fitting for drivers who prioritize comfort, quieter rides, and greater value for money. Its noteworthy features, including good aquaplaning safety reserves and high mileage, may appeal to a segment of drivers who predominantly travel on dry roads and need long-lasting tyres.
To sum it up, while neither tyre is without its drawbacks, both provide unique benefits. The choice ultimately comes down to individual driving habits, preferences, and requirements. It's always important, therefore, to consider all aspects of a tyre's performance before making an investment.
