Continental AllSeasonContact 2

Previous Continental Tires Premium Touring All Season

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is a premium touring all-season tire that stands out for its secure, confidence-inspiring performance in the wet and in cold, changeable conditions. Across independent testing and real-world feedback it repeatedly proves easy to trust day-to-day, with strong wet braking/handling, good winter traction for an all-season, and impressively low rolling resistance. It's also commonly praised for comfort and refinement, though it won't feel as sharp as a dedicated summer tire when driven hard on warm, dry roads.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Balanced performance across all tests, excellent subjective handling, strong in the dry, wet and snow with the best snow traction, excellent comfort, lowest rolling resistance on test.
Dry braking not class-leading, below average aquaplaning performance, increased noise levels.
In second place was the Continental AllSeasonContact 2. As always this tire is super consistent across all tests. Its only 'wins' were snow traction, rolling resistance and comfort tests, and as we've previously found its aquaplaning performance was weaker than the best, but in terms of dry, wet and snow grip, it was excellent. All season tires should be consistent in all categories and the Continental does that really well. Super impressive tire.

Continental All Season Contact 2 receives a "good" rating and provides strong safety reserves on dry surfaces with direct steering response. The tire features low rolling resistance that contributes to high fuel-saving potential and operates with quiet rolling noise. Despite these strengths, it commands the highest price among all test candidates and shows minor weaknesses in curve aquaplaning performance.

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 proves itself as a well-balanced multi-talent with convincing performance across all road conditions. This tire delivers strong driving dynamics and maintains composure in varied weather scenarios, making it a reliable choice for year-round use. Continental has created a tire that doesn't excel in any single area but performs admirably in all conditions. The main drawback is a slightly limited mileage capability, which means drivers may need to replace them sooner than some competitors.

Questions and Answers for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2

Ask a question
November 29, 2023

For the tire Continental AllSeasonContact you wrote that it is summer-bias all season tire and I wonder if the same can be said for Continental AllSeasonContact 2 or there is a difference? Which tire of the two can be said to be more summer-bias all season tire?

The CrossClimate 1 was the original summar bias all season tire, the ASC and ASC2 are a little more winter bias, but looking at the market as a whole they sit somewhere in the middle. The ASC2 is an evolution of the ASC1 so I expect it to have a similar balance of performance, just more grip.

Hi guys. Can someone tell me how can i find working temperatures for Continental Allseason contact2? My city temperature will increase 40-45 degrees in summer( just 1month) . I wonder that will this thyre still working that temperature well. Am I have to change my tires for this period or will it be still nice to use it even if that temperatures.

It will be no problem to use the AllSeasonContact 2 in normal driving in those temperatures. It's certainly at the warmer end of the temperature range but you don't have to worry about the tire failing.
January 21, 2025

Does the All season contact 2 have rimprotectors in size 225/40 R18 92Y?

I've not handled that size, I don't recall a meaningful rim protector on the 235/35 R19" version I tested, though it did sit wider on the wheel than some of its competitors which gives it an advantage against curbs.

What value is the treadwear of this tire?

Treadwear can vary based on size. We don't keep any of the values in our database as it's not really a used metric in the EU but i'm sure if you contact Continental they will be able to advise.

On my Rav4 plug-in I have Rotalla Allseason Tires 235/55/19 105w. They were on It when I bought it. Hier is pretty harsh Drive. No comfort at all . Which is my best choice to get more comfort while drive over bumps and bad road. Michellin Crossclimate 2. Size 235/55/19 101T Continental Allseasoncontact 2 235/55/19 101T Or 18” Rims with the above but then -size 235/60/18 103T Or -size 225/60/18 100H Or Kleber Quadrax Suv 225/60/18 100H

The biggest sidewall will always give you the most most comfort, and based on my experience the EU CrossClimate 2 will offer slightly better impact than the Conti.
May 27, 2025

Could you tell me how many kilometers you can do with a Continental All Season Contact 2 tire?

There are a number of tests which have wear included, the ASC2 is one of the best performing tires on the market, but mileage will vary a lot on driving style, vehicle and size. You can find all the test data on the site in the test section.

Hi team, hi everyone. I live in Tuscany (Italy) in the high hills, about 700 meters above sea level. The climate is temperate, rainy, but very hot in summer. Snow is rarely seen nowadays (only 1 at most 2 times a year, so it is not a problem). My driving style is calm and relatively cautious, and the roads I travel are mainly extra-urban and very smooth. My car is a Kia Carens(141 cv) Automatic gearbox, 225/45/17. My question, essentially, concerns the preference between Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6, not so much on the quality of the products (widely enough for my needs on both sides), but on the mileage! I am looking, at the end of the day, for the best tire of those two in terms of mileage. Many thanks to anyone who wants to give me an advice and infinite thanks to Jonathan and the others for their brilliant job.

If you look at <a href="/Compare/Turanza-All-Season-6-VS-AllSeasonContact-2.htm">this comparison</a> you will see that the ASC2 holds a slight wear advantage over the Bridgestone.

Review Summary

Based on 44 user reviews

Drivers generally describe the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 as a very capable, confidence-inspiring all-season tire with standout wet grip, strong cold-weather traction, and reassuring light-snow performance, often paired with good comfort and low noise. Many high-scoring reviews also report stable, predictable behaviour across a wide temperature range and, in some cases, excellent tread life. The most repeated downside is a softer, less precise steering feel (on-centre vagueness/response delay), especially when driven hard in warm, dry conditions. A smaller but notable group also reports faster-than-expected wear on some vehicles/axles.

Strengths
  • Very strong wet grip and braking with good resistance to aquaplaning
  • Predictable
  • Stable all-round behaviour in mixed conditions
  • Good traction in cold weather and capable performance in light snow/slush (for an all-season)
  • Comfortable ride and generally low cabin noise
  • Strong acceleration traction / reduced wheelspin (including on higher-power cars and evs)
  • Often reported as long-wearing with slow
  • Even tread wear (in many high-scoring reviews)
Areas for Improvement
  • Steering feels soft/vague with slower response and less precision (especially on-centre or during quick direction changes)
  • Dry warm-weather cornering feels less confidence-inspiring than a dedicated summer tire when pushed
  • Some reports of quicker-than-expected tread wear (particularly on driven/front axles)

Given 77% while driving a Volkswagen Caddy (205/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 18,542 easy going miles
First time I tried all season tires, I got these tires because were I live we have a more moderate weather in spring,summer and autumn.
But I wanted to be secure into autumn before winter, the temperature can drop too 0 degree (celius) in the night to mornings. (Don't worry, we always get nordic winter tires in the winter).

They aren't for sporty tires, feel secure in dry and wet weather.
Low noise, good comfort.

We had some torrential rain, were you could barley see the road more then 200-500 meters infront of you, full of water on the road.

The tires felt steardy, car stable. Something else I've notice as well, might have done with that I am not used too premium tires, but when it hasen't rained for a long time, and it does rain, the roads here usually get very slippery esp in the turns.... Don't feel it anymore.

The front tires has 5,2 mm left and back tires around 6 mm.

Still mid August right now, will make a new update closer too winter on the end life of the tires.

Given 97% while driving a Audi A6 (245/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 2,100 average miles
On my Audi A6 2.8 Quattro FSI, i am using 245/45R18. Let me start by saying they never let me down, not even once, after driving for a bit over 3.000km with them. I never had tire spinning or problems to stop and they handle corners extremely well. Grip is awesome and i feel response when i accelerate.
I didn't drive them through heavy snow or over very icy roads. Having them on a bit over one year, they still look like new.
I know dedicated season tire would outperform them but for the climate i live in they are perfect. This is not too powerful car that needs some UHP tires. Comfort was a priority but i got a lot more from these tires. Noise levels are acceptable, even when i am driving with music turned off.

Huge letdown- premature failure!
I have bought 3 sets of Continental AllSeason Contact 2 - for my Golf Alltrack, my wife's Skoda and my Mini Cooper an I was really impressed with them until today when I have noticed a huge ripped tire tread with separation. The front left tire is the one most affected. Remind you, I bought them 1 Year ago, and the mileage is around 15.000 Km on them, at most!

I don't know if i qualify for warranty. I do not drive on the track and I don't drive too fast either. Only asphalted roads in Germany, never once off-road!

Given 65% while driving a Peugeot 206 1.4 75hp (185/65 R15) on for 1,500 miles
I bought these for a second car in the family which doesn't make a lot of km but it has to be ready when needed so an all season tire seemed like a logical choice. I decided for premiums to be on a safe side as this was my first experience with all season tires.

Already in first season I had to drive in heavy snow: they worked, I survived, at the limit they were progressive, no issues. In wet, also very nice, no issues. Comfort is also very good. However, I give them a huge minus for behaving in dry. Already at 15°C they just hate to turn, in curves the car just sits on sidewalls which feel like paper. Tire pressure checked. Of course nobody expect wonders in this size on a small car, but still, to not feel like I am abusing my car and tires I have to drive ridiculously slow in corners. Not acceptable for the price. I mean, I could just buy winter tires instead.

I bought this tire to use as a winter tire in a mild climate and I've been very impressed. It doesn't feel much worse in terms of response and handling than my summer tires which are Goodyear Asymmetric 5's, in fact they have better traction in the rain than my summer tires which are worn and a few years old to be fair. My car has about 270hp and it puts all the power down in 2nd gear in damp conditions. Amazing tire all around that can be driven spiritedly with no issues and can also handle a bit of snow and ice as long as you're careful, which you have to be anyway with a dedicated winter tire.

Given 28% while driving a BMW 520d M Sport (245/45 R18) on for 5,000 miles
I am coming from Hankook Kinergy 4S2. These were excellent all season tires.
I changed to Continental AllSeason Contact 2.
Compared to the Hankook, the Continentals offer similar grip in dry and wet, though braking is noticeably worse.
However, where the Continentals suck is feel and input lag.
The continentals are absolutely not enjoyable to drive.
When you turn the steering wheel, you need to wait ages for the tires to react. I am absolutely stunned that Continental could create such a tire. On a few occasions I swerved left and right quickly in succession - the car feels like its on pudding, and the feeling is absolute crap.
I do not recommend these types - I have had many all season tires in the past and none behaved like this.

Given 79% while driving a Dacia Logan (195/55 R16) on for 15,000 miles
I bought Continental AllseasonContact 2 for my Dacia Logan after I drove my Wife Opel Astra J equipped with Continental AllseasonContact 1 and was pretty impressed by them. We had a trip of 2500 km and they were great.
I have around 20000 km on the Dacia Logan with them and I like them, but I don't see a difference that big between these tires and some other ones, your choosing. They handle very well in almost allweather conditions, with an exception on slush. I had a few days with slush back home and they were pretty slippery (see photo attached). I can feel the difference between C AC2 and a dedicated winter tire, but I am not disappointed for buying them.
I was trying to buy Michelin CrossClimate 3 at the time, but they were barely launched and the only size available in Romania was 205/55/16, whilst I needed 195/55/16. I couldn't wait more as my current tires at that time were almost gone, so I went for C AC2.
Now, with this knowledge, if I was to buy another set of tires, I would go for M CC3 or something in the middle sector (kumho or maybe laufenn).
I am a normal driver, I try to drive safe, although I do have some days when I like to see how the car handles on the road with a little sporty driving* **
* - while being safe for me and the other drivers and people around
** - remember that I drive a Dacia Logan, how sporty can that be :)

Excellent all-season tires. Summer performance on dry and wet roads is as good as dedicated summer tires. Much more comfortable and quieter than my old Sailun Attrezzo ZSR2.

The real surprise is winter grip. On snow, they behave predictably, very close to my previous Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 winter tires. Acceleration, steering, and braking feel safe and controlled.

The only expected weakness is on black ice and wet packed snow, but even studded tires struggle there. A great balanced choice for mild winters.

The tires are premium and perform really well in the Wet and Dry ,you do get road noise if driving on a concrete surface. i have not tried these in snow as it has not snowed this year in the uk.I had michelin crossclimate 2: before these on a ford fiesta and they were as good but i had the chance to try them in the snow and they were excellent if hoping my continental all season contact 2s are good in snow.

Given 91% while driving a Ford Focus MK3 (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
To start off with a story - hardest snow test turned out to be a very steep hill up the mountain with up to 10 cm/4 inch deep snow/slush without any treatment, where even winter tires would no doubt struggled. After the first failed attempt I realized that the traction control was getting in the way. So I turned it off and let the AS2s grind their way up the hill no problem, heavy torqui engine in the front no doubt helped. Other than that I drove mostly on dry and wet roads and the handling/braking and overall experience was always excellent. I was little afraid of how will the all season tires cope with high summer temperatures (30°C+), but did not notice any change - just the same stable and predictable behavior. I have 205/55 R16 91H and can confirm that they are very quiet as well. After a year and over 10K miles/16K kilometers I can confirm that it was an excellent choice and tires still have plenty of life left in them. The reason I am writing the review now is because I just both a new pair of AS2s - since I unfortunatelly destroyed my left front tire on a sharp curb - my bad... I swapped the rear tires to the front, since they still have approximately 6 mm deep tread and put a new pair to the back. Very happy with my purchase.

Given 82% while driving a Volkswagen Transporter (215/65 R16) on a combination of roads for 2,000 easy going miles
Had a set for 2 months now on my VW T28 Transporter. This in the OE size of 215/65 R16. They replaced a set of Hankook R28 - a commercial (C rated) tire so that's what I will compare them to.
The Continetal are more comfortable in that they handle both small surface imperfections and larger pot holes far better than the Hankooks did. Being 102 load rated and presumably a slightly softer compound to allow grip in colder temperatures (the R28s were 104 rated summer tires), this is no surprise. However it does seem to equate to less road noise too - despite the R28 being rated as 69db (nice) and the Conti 102db I am pleased with the reduction in cabin noise.

In terms of driving dynamics the Contis feel slightly more 'wooly' and just different. It's not worrying in any way but the stiffer R28s were lazer focused, very precise and confidence inspiring. The Contis do tend to waft along and require more correctional inputs on the steering wheel - assume the softness is part of this and perhaps they track tramlines in the road more. Again, not a worry as I am aware they still have plenty of grip, it's just different. I think this equates to a more comfortable experience for passengers overall but for the driver it's less clear cut - the better ride quality and reduced noise of the Contis is slightly offset by having to adjust the steering more often, not by a huge amount though.

Have driven in the dry and wet and at 2 degrees centigrade all without any concerns - they just work well.

Yet to test on snow or Ice but we don't get that in the midlands every year so who knows.

When driving on narrow country lanes where tractors have pulled the grass verge onto the carriageway and you have to drive on that muddy edge to fit past oncoming traffic the Contis do still have a little skid under hard breaking. Had wondered if an all season would be better at this 'mud on road' situation thatn a summer tire but I'd say not. Summer tires will always win for dry and wet handling, all season just reduces chance of getting stuck in snow and slush a bit more.

If I was going for all season again I would happily buy the Continental ASC2 again. Very comfortable and competent tire. I might just go to a premium summer touring tire next time though - always served me well before - I never got stuck on campfields and they coped with farm tracks etc. Having said that I wouldn't buy the R28s again.

Given 86% while driving a Hyundai i30 CW CRD (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
I live in central europe in the city and I think it's a great compromise of a tire for us. We drive around 15k km / y and we've been using them for 1,5 yr so far.
When it's dry, it is good enough. It's a bit noisier than the summer eco tire Hankook kinergy eco2 I had previously.
In the wet it feels great. Some light offroading and mud/grass driving is also great, much better than the summer tire.
Snow handling is okay/good. Ice is a bit worse, but still okay. Thankfully we don't see that often.
For our case, I believe it's better to have a 3-4yr old all-season tire compared to using ~6-7 yr old winter tire. That's not only in terms of grip, but also about saving money - I don't need to either have another set of rims or pay someone to change the tires. Just once a year or so, it's probably a good idea to rotate the tires and that's it.

Given 73% while driving a Renault clio iv 1.5 DCI 90ps (185/65 R15) on mostly country roads for 4,371 easy going miles
Hello, here is my update on my Clio 4 after exactly 6994 km. The tires were rotated at 4209 km. The current wear is as follows: 6.6 mm remaining on the front right, 6.8 mm on the front left, 6.4 mm on the rear right, and 6.6 mm on the rear left.
\r\n
This was my first review: Hello, after watching many tests, I decided on the Conti ASC2. I'm satisfied with it in every way. I haven't tested it on snow and ice, but I'm sure it will be great. The huge disappointment comes from the tire wear. I have them on two vehicles.
A 2008 Scenic (2 front tires) 195/65/15 95V DOT 24, manufactured in Slovakia, and a Clio 4 with 185/65/15 88H DOT 24 tires, manufactured in France.
Initially, the maximum sculptures were 7.7 mm for the 6 Neus.
After driving 5300 km on the Scenic, I have 6.2 mm of tread remaining on the front tires (a loss of 1.5 mm). The rear tires are Goodyear.
After driving only 1300 km with the Clio, I still have 7.2 mm (-0.5 mm) of clearance at the front and 7.5 mm (-0.2 mm) at the rear.
I check my blood pressure every month, I'm meticulous.
Wear and tear is very significant on both cars.
My driving is very smooth and I don't drive on the motorway.
During testing, the Conti proved to be the best in terms of longevity.
I continue my analysis as the kilometers pass.
Have you noticed significant wear and tear on your ASC2?
Thank you for reading.
