Continental's AllSeasonContact 2 Wins All-Season Tire Test by European Automobile Clubs
- AllSeasonContact 2 receives top marks in tests conducted by the ADAC, TCS, and OEAMTC
- First place in test of 16 tires
- Editorial team: "Compared to the other tires in the test, the Continental offers good braking distances on ice and snow, as well as good traction and safe handling on snow-covered roads"
Hanover, Germany, June 24, 2025. The major European automobile clubs ADAC (Germany), TCS (Switzerland), and OEAMTC (Austria) named the AllSeasonContact 2 the winner of this year's all-season tire test, giving it an overall score of 2.3. The editorial team tested 16 tire models from European, Asian, and American manufacturers in the 225/45 R17 size. After seven tests, Continental's AllSeasonContact 2 came in joint first place with the rating "highly recommended."
The wet braking test shows that not all all-season tires meet high safety standards. The AllSeasonContact 2 stops 11.3 meters sooner than the worst tire. "If the vehicle with the Continental tire is already at a stop, the vehicle with the budget tire will still hit a potential obstacle at a 'brisk' 41 km/h. With corresponding consequences."
"At the same time, the AllSeasonContact 2 is the only tire in the test to secure a good rating on winter roads. It performs above average in all individual disciplines. Compared to the test field, the Continental offers good braking distances on ice and snow, as well as good traction and safe handling on snow-covered roads," summarize the automobile clubs. This makes the AllSeasonContact the only tire in the test to achieve a “good” rating for both driving safety and environmental performance.
The AllSeasonContact 2 from Continental is suitable for a wide range of passenger cars and SUVs, regardless of their drive type and drive concept. Continental has significantly increased the tire's mileage compared to its predecessor and at the same time reduced rolling resistance without compromising on safety. It is produced in a wide delivery range for rims with diameters between 15 and 22 inches.
No-name tires perform poorly
As expected, the inexpensive, no-name tires did not perform well in the test. The ADAC wrote, "There's no need to memorize the cheap tires that are mainly available online. All four are 'inadequate' and therefore not recommended." The poor braking distances alone are reason enough to advise against these tires. They do not even come close to meeting the other requirements of a good tire."
