Our analysis is based on a comparison between the Firestone Multiseason 2 tyre and the Toyo Celsius AS2 tyre. Both are highly rated products from reputable manufacturers, Firestone and Toyo, respectively, with pros and cons in various aspects.
The Firestone Multiseason 2 tyre, a versatile winter tyre, proudly made in Italy, gets a rating of 60% by us, indicating a strong performance. It has been admired in multiple tests for its excellent grip in snow conditions, a very good wet-handling lap, and low rolling resistance. However, it does have a few flaws, such as extended dry braking and a slightly below-average level of comfort. In different tests, this tyre has achieved relative test positions of 22 out of 37 (AUTOBILD) and 11 out of 15 (Autobild). In ADAC test, it secured 8th position out of 16.
On the other hand, the Toyo Celsius AS2 tyre, made in Japan, is an all-round performer that earned a rating of 54% from our side. Reviewers have praised it for its reasonable aquaplaning resistance, good dry braking, comfort, exterior noise levels, and its cost-effectiveness. Despite these advantages, some users have reported low levels of grip in wet and snowy conditions, a high rolling resistance, and an extended wet braking distance. In the AUTOBILD and the Autobild tests, it ranked 12th out of 37 tyres, and 12th out of 15 tyres respectively. It secured 11th position out of 16 tyres in the ADAC test.
In sum, both tyres exhibit notable strengths and weaknesses. The Firestone Multiseason 2 is a standout choice for individuals who prioritise grip especially in snow and wet conditions. The Toyo Celsius AS2, on the other hand, would be an excellent option for those seeking balance between dry braking resistance, comfort, exterior noise level, and value for money. While Firestone Multiseason 2 tends to outperform Toyo Celsius AS2 in most mutual tests, the latter still holds its own on several key features.
