Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been eleven tests which compare both tires directly!
Tire | Test Wins | Performance |
---|---|---|
Continental AllSeasonContact | one | |
Michelin CrossClimate 2 | ten |
While it might look like the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is better than the Continental AllSeasonContact 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.
Looking at data from eleven tire tests, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 was better during eleven dry braking tests. On average the Michelin CrossClimate 2 stopped the vehicle in 10.08% less distance than the Continental AllSeasonContact.

Continental AllSeasonContact is widely praised for excellent wet and snow grip, low cabin noise, and improved comfort, with many noting balanced, predictable handling and solid wear for an all-season. Dry grip is adequate for normal driving but can feel mushy or understeery in hot weather, and a minority report faster wear in heat and reduced wet traction as the tire ages. Overall sentiment is strongly positive given the high number of high-scoring reviews.

Drivers largely praise the Michelin CrossClimate 2 for confident all-weather capability—especially snow/ice traction—plus strong wet safety, good dry grip for its class, and impressive comfort/low noise on many cars. A minority report drawbacks such as increased road noise on certain surfaces, mixed wet handling once worn or in specific vehicles, higher price, small fuel-efficiency penalties, and occasional faster or uneven wear. Overall, the CrossClimate 2 is viewed as a safe, year-round choice with standout winter performance.

Looking for more tire comparisons? Here are other direct comparisons involving these tires:
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.
