The Toyo Celsius AS2 and the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 Allround tyres offer varying performances according to different tyre test results. Produced respectively by Toyo and Continental, these tyres present a noteworthy comparison for any motorist interested in optimising their driving experience.
The Toyo Celsius AS2, given a rating of 54% by us, demonstrated strong performance in terms of Comfort and Exterior noise according to AUTOBILD. However, this tyre showed inconsistent performance in winter conditions, with Autobild 2024 reporting that it offers "poor performance on snowy tracks, with low grip and extended braking distances in wet weather". Despite this, the tyre offers high mileage and good Aquaplaning safety reserves.

The tyre struggled with Aquaplaning reserves as noted by Autobild 2024, but showed strong performances during wet and snowy conditions. Further strengths include a high mileage and quiet noise-level, though some tests found a tendency towards understeering.
In terms of overall ranking, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 outperformed the Toyo Celsius AS2 in most tests. For instance, in the AUTOBILD test, the Continental model ranked 3rd out of 37 tyres while Toyo model landed at 12th place. Similar results were observed in the ACE test, where the Continental tyre secured the 1st position out of 9 as opposed to the 9th position by the Toyo tyre.
In conclusion, the Toyo Celsius AS2 has some worthwhile features, especially its Harmony in dry conditions and high mileage, though it struggles under wet and snowy conditions, a significant consideration for an all-weather tyre. On the other hand, although slightly pricier, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 shows a balanced performance in most areas and scales higher in most tests, suggesting that it may provide better overall performance. Ultimately, the choice between the Toyo Celsius AS2 and the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 will depend on the specific needs of the driver.
