Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tires' figures.
In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 118 ft stop against 112 ft is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 94%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 5 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Owners rate the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 highly overall (81% average), most often praising its smooth, comfortable ride and low noise levels, alongside very strong wet grip that inspires confidence. Dry grip is also widely viewed as secure and predictable, and around one in five owners report it coping well in snow for an all-season. The main recurring drawback is steering feel: around one in four owners describe softer, less immediate response, and tread life feedback is mixed, with a noticeable minority reporting faster-than-expected wear.
- Noticeably smoother, more comfortable ride
- Low cabin noise and a refined drive
- Excellent wet grip and confidence in the rain
- Strong dry grip and traction under acceleration
- Steering feels soft or delayed, with a dead spot for some drivers
- Tread life reports are inconsistent, with some seeing faster wear
- Handling can feel less sharp than expected in the dry
Summarised by AI from 61 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.
All 70 AllSeasonContact 2 reviewsI chose XL-rated tires because I tend to drive a bit faster, and they provide better stability with less sidewall flex. I use them only during the winter, and they've been excellent. They are no noisier than winter tires, and in my experience they perform better in about 90% of winter conditions. The only exception is deep snow, where proper winter tires still have an advantage, although these tires handle it quite well too.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
This head-to-head pitches the value-oriented BFGoodrich Advantage All Season against the premium-touring benchmark, Continental AllSeasonContact 2. Across six shared tests from 2023-2025 in 17-18-inch sizes, both target year-round road use, but they prioritize different strengths. The BFGoodrich consistently excels in dry stopping and aquaplaning resistance, while Continental dominates wet braking and overall balance.
Expect clear contrasts: BFGoodrich posts repeatedly shorter dry braking distances and strong aquaplaning margins, plus competitive snow performance and low abrasion. Continental counters with class-leading wet grip, higher mileage, lower rolling resistance, and stronger overall scores-including all six overall test wins-signaling a more rounded, premium execution.
Conclusion
Continental's AllSeasonContact 2 is the more complete tire: it wins all six tests overall, leads decisively in wet braking and wet handling (often by 4-12%), and pairs that with high predicted mileage and low rolling resistance. For safety-first buyers who frequently drive in rain or mixed climates, it's the clear choice despite the higher price.
The BFGoodrich Advantage All Season makes a strong case on value and specific metrics: consistently shorter dry braking, top-tier straight and curved aquaplaning resistance, competitive snow braking/traction, and notably low abrasion with solid fuel use. If your priority is dry-road stopping, aquaplaning security, and long tread life per euro, BFGoodrich delivers excellent practicality-just accept its moderate wet-grip limitations. The takeaway: choose Continental for all-weather balance and wet-road confidence; pick BFGoodrich if you want dry bite, aquaplaning headroom, and lower ownership cost.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
