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.
Head to head in 5 tests, 2024 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

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 90%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 9 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.
The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and Giti AllSeason AS2 are both passenger-car all-season tires, but their test results point to different priorities. Across five shared rankings, the Continental finishes ahead every time, including second versus eighth in the 2026 Auto Zeitung test.
The comparison is not a clean sweep in every condition. Giti repeatedly stops shorter on snow and often offers better aquaplaning resistance. The question for buyers is whether those advantages outweigh Continental's more consistent wet-road grip, snow handling and projected tread life.
Conclusion
Continental is the stronger all-round choice. It wins wet braking in all five shared rankings, with stopping distances around 4-5 meters shorter in the reported tests, and leads wet handling wherever both are measured. It also handles better on snow in all three full tests, despite Giti's shorter snow-braking distances. Dry-road gaps are generally smaller.
Giti's snow braking and aquaplaning resistance are worthwhile strengths, particularly if those are your priorities. But its longer wet stops and lower projected mileage make it harder to recommend for mixed everyday driving. Continental costs more upfront in some markets, yet both tests that assessed running cost favored it. The practical takeaway: Giti has standout moments; Continental offers the more dependable year-round package.

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.
