Continental AllSeasonContact 2 vs Toyo Celsius AS2

Test Results

Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been four tests which compare both tires directly!

While it might look like the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is better than the Toyo Celsius AS2 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

Continental AllSeasonContact 2

• Class-leading wet braking and grip (≈9-10% shorter wet stops in multiple tests)
• Strong winter capability (better snow braking, traction, and handling)
• Low noise and stable, sporty wet handling feel
• Competitive efficiency with generally lower rolling resistance vs Toyo in 2023 tests

Toyo Celsius AS2

• Excellent value and lower cost of ownership (strong price/performance)
• Very good aquaplaning resistance (straight and curved)
• High mileage and low abrasion mass (durability)
• Balanced, secure dry behavior

Real World Driver Reviews

Tire Reviews also collects real world driver reviews for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and Toyo Celsius AS2.

In total the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 has been reviewed 28 times and drivers have given the tire 86% overall.

The Toyo Celsius AS2 has been reviewed 5 times and drivers have given the tire 79% overall.

This means in real world driving, people prefer the Continental AllSeasonContact 2.

Conclusion

Continental's AllSeasonContact 2 is the more rounded, safety-led choice. It dominates wet braking (≈9-10% shorter) and wet handling, and carries a meaningful advantage on snow across braking, traction, and handling. Noise is a touch lower and rolling resistance is competitive. These strengths translate to confident control in rain and winter, which is where all-season tires are most frequently stress-tested.

Toyo's Celsius AS2 answers with better straight-line and curved aquaplaning margins, neutral dry behavior, standout abrasion (lower mass loss), and a noticeably stronger value proposition, often costing less while delivering excellent mileage. If your climate is milder with heavy standing-water risk and you prioritize purchase price and longevity, Toyo makes sense. For drivers who regularly face rain-cold cycles or snow and want maximum all-weather security, Continental is the safer, higher-performing bet.

Key Differences

• Overall result spread: Continental finishes 2nd-5th; Toyo 12th-16th across shared tests
• Wet braking: Continental shorter by ~9-10% (e.g., 53.6 m vs 59 m; 45.4 m vs 50.6 m)
• Wet handling/grip: Continental notably faster on lap and wet circle
• Winter performance: Continental leads snow braking, traction (≈13%), and handling
• Aquaplaning: Toyo superior in straight and curved tests
• Value/durability: Toyo offers lower price/1000 km and lower abrasion; Continental often pricier

Overall Winner: Continental AllSeasonContact 2

Based on the tire test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison. However, as you can see from the spider diagram above, each tire has its own strengths which should be considered in your final tire buying choice.

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.
