When it comes to all-around performance, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 and Continental AllSeasonContact are two notable options on the market. Both manufactured by prominent brands, Maxxis and Continental, these tyres have been put through extensive tests to gauge their performances in various conditions.
The Maxxis Premitra AS AP3, manufactured in China, obtains a rating of 63% in our system. Its strengths lie predominantly in its abilities in wet circle cornering, exterior noise reduction, aquaplaning, and dry braking. However, as per the Autobild 2022 test, this tyre has shown weakness in winter performance with its limited grip and understeering behavior on ice and snow, as well as extended wet braking distances. The model's strong points include short dry braking distances and an affordable price.
On the other hand, the Continental AllSeasonContact scored an overall rating of 76% in our tests. It has been commended in the Autobild test for its impressive performance in snow braking, snow cornering, wet circle cornering, wet handling, comfort, snow traction, and rolling resistance. However, it has also revealed understeering behavior and extended braking distances on dry tracks, limited mileage, and restricted cost efficiency according to the Autobild 2022 test. Notably, no weaknesses were mentioned for this tyre in the Autobild 2020 test, reflecting its consistent performance. It stands out for its best winter qualities, stable wet handling, and low rolling resistance.
In comparison, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 came 4th out of 31 tyres in the Autobild 2022 test, while the Continental AllSeasonContact was not far behind, ranking 6th. This suggests that the Maxxis perhaps excells on dry conditions, while the Continental tyre shines in winter conditions.
In conclusion, if dry performance and affordability are your priorities, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 could be a good option. But if you are seeking a tyre with robust winter performance, and an all-around performer, the Continental AllSeasonContact is likely the better choice.
