Continental AllSeasonContact 2 vs Viking Fourtech Plus

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 three tests which compare both tires directly!

While it might look like the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is better than the Viking Fourtech Plus 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 braking on dry and wet (e.g., 40.8 m vs 43.9 m dry; 31.3 m vs 34.1 m wet in ADAC)
• Confident winter ability (better snow traction/handling; marginally better ice braking)
• Low noise and strong wear/mileage (e.g., ~48.2k-49.3k km vs 41.4k-44.8k km)
• Balanced efficiency with low rolling resistance and abrasion for the category

Viking Fourtech Plus

• Best-in-test aquaplaning reserves among the pair (straight and curved)
• Competitive dry handling pace in one test despite longer dry braking
• Lower purchase price and good value score
• Very low fuel consumption in AutoBild and low weight in ADAC environmental rating

Real World Driver Reviews

Tire Reviews also collects real world driver reviews for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and Viking Fourtech Plus.

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

The Viking Fourtech Plus has been reviewed times and drivers have given the tire 0% overall.

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

Conclusion

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the more rounded and higher-performing tire: shorter braking on dry (≈7% shorter) and wet (≈3-8% shorter), stronger snow/ice capability, better wet handling/grip, lower noise, and notably better wear/mileage (≈7-19% advantage). Its only clear weakness is modest aquaplaning reserves versus the Viking and a higher purchase price. The Viking Fourtech Plus counters with stronger straight and curved aquaplaning performance, slightly better fuel use in one test, and attractive pricing, but it trails the Continental in core safety metrics and winter precision, and shows lower projected mileage.

Key Differences

• Safety braking: Continental stops shorter on dry (~7% advantage) and wet (~3-8%).
• Wet grip/handling: Continental quicker on wet handling and circle; Viking better only in aquaplaning.
• Winter performance: Continental shows stronger snow traction/handling and slightly better ice braking.
• Durability: Continental projects longer mileage/wear (≈7-19% better).
• Noise/comfort: Continental slightly quieter (≈0.3-0.8 dB).
• Efficiency/value: Viking edges fuel use and upfront price; Continental wins rolling resistance once.

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.

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.
