BFGoodrich Advantage All Season vs Continental AllSeasonContact 2

This head-to-head pits the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season against Continental's AllSeasonContact 2-two all-season touring options with different priorities. Across five shared professional tests from 2023-2025, Continental consistently ranks higher overall (five test wins to zero), signalling a more rounded, premium-touring package.

The data reveals a clear pattern: BFGoodrich repeatedly excels in dry braking, aquaplaning resistance, and often snow traction, while Continental dominates wet braking and wet handling-areas that most strongly influence safety rankings-alongside superior projected mileage and efficiency. If you frequently face heavy rain or mixed conditions, the performance gaps on wet surfaces are especially telling.

While it might look like the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is better than the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

Key Strengths

  • Short dry braking and stable dry handling
  • Strong aquaplaning resistance (straight and curved)
  • Competitive snow braking and traction
  • Often lower abrasion and better price-per-1,000 km value
  • Class-leading wet braking and wet handling consistency
  • High projected mileage and strong overall wear performance
  • Balanced winter capability with secure snow/ice behavior
  • Low rolling resistance with solid efficiency and test-leading overall scores

Dry Braking

Looking at data from five tire tests, the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season was better during five dry braking tests. On average the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season stopped the vehicle in 3.32% less distance than the Continental AllSeasonContact 2.

Best Review for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2
Given 88% 225/40 R18 on a combination of roads for 50 spirited miles
Compared to my previous premium summer tires, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is incredibly quiet and has fantastic grip. I am driving a plug-in hybrid Audi A3, and it became basically silent in fully electric mode. I always had wheelspin when I accelerated a little harder, because of the instant torque of the electric motor. What fascinates me is that this happened with both Bridgestone and Vredestein summer tires in warm, dry weather conditions. This is no longer the case with the ASC2. The rolling resistance also feels much better, the car coasts so effortlessly. Power consumption... Continue reading this review using the link below

Conclusion

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the more complete tire. It trades a marginal deficit in dry stopping distance (typically 2-4% longer) for meaningful advantages in wet braking (4-9% shorter), wet handling pace (≈4-7% higher), and consistently better overall test scores. It also brings strong longevity (often 15-45% higher projected mileage) and low rolling resistance-advantages that echo in running costs and environmental ratings.

BFGoodrich Advantage All Season counters with confident dry performance, very good aquaplaning reserves, competitive snow braking/traction, lower abrasion in some tests, and a friendlier purchase price/value score in price-per-1,000 km terms. For drivers prioritizing dry-road stopping, deep-water stability, and value, it's a solid pick. For most consumers who see frequent rain and want the safest all-rounder with better wear and efficiency, the Continental is the safer bet-and the one that more often tops the podium.
Key Differences
  • Wet safety: Continental stops 4-9% shorter and is faster in wet handling/circle; BFGoodrich lags here.
  • Dry braking: BFGoodrich repeatedly stops 2-4% shorter than Continental.
  • Aquaplaning: BFGoodrich shows better straight and curved aquaplaning reserves.
  • Longevity: Continental often projects 15-45% higher mileage; better long-term value for high-mile drivers.
  • Efficiency: Continental tends to have lower rolling resistance; BFGoodrich sometimes posts slightly lower on-test fuel use.
  • Price/value: BFGoodrich usually cheaper upfront with favorable price-per-1,000 km; Continental priced higher but offsets with wear.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
