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.

I'm using these tires for the last 2 years and I'm around 50k km od 31k miles. The picture Im posting is taken on the day of this review. From my experience I can confirm everything that currently describes this tire: Excellent wet grip and braking with strong confidence in rain/greasy conditions
Comfortable ride quality with good bump absorption
Low noise/refined cabin compared with many previous tires
Capable cold-weather and light-to-moderate snow performance for an all-season
Good overall stability and predictable behavior
Often reported as strong/slow treadwear and good longevity
Good traction under acceleration (reduced wheelspin)
Decent efficiency/rolling resistance (some report improved MPG).
Even after 51k km, they look good enough for at least one more year.

Drove Vredestein Quatrac5 on 1995 and 1996 Daimler Double Sixes for many years very happy with them but now driving Bentley Conti Flying Spur with Conti ASCt2 and these tires outclass the Vredesteins comprehensively, notably in sharper steering, handling wet roads at high speed and braking especially in wet conditions. Very reassuring handling and behavior.
Highly recommended.
Check out how the BEST all seasons tires perform against premium summer and winter tires!
For my new car I didn't want to bother with wheel changes also ab extra set would be much more expensive. They are mounted on a Lexus IS300H and generally very pleased. In dry I cannot make them slip, in wet only very slightly.
Comfort and handling are good. I didn't take them to the circuit, but they stand up to spirited driving. At about 25k km/15k miles they seem to have about 50% tread left (visually).
Snow experience is limited. With the conservative TC on this car, there is no danger, however with TC off and rwd I managed to go over the limit immediately, in part user error but also not as trustworthy as dedicated snow tires I've had.
Overall would recommend, and I have in fact just bought 2 new rears after a recent puncture.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Continental AllSeasonContact 2? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I bought the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 because I got tired of changing summer and winter tires every season. Where I live, we rarely get significant snowfall, but I still wanted a tire that meets winter standards and can handle unexpected winter conditions when needed.
Before these, I always used budget summer and winter tires. The first thing that impressed me was how much difference a premium tire can make in terms of comfort and driving experience. It honestly feels like I'm driving a different car. The ride is noticeably smoother, more comfortable, and much quieter compared to the budget tires I was used to.
This was the first time in my life that I decided to spend more money on a premium tire brand, and I don't regret it at all. As a young person, budget tires always seemed like the sensible choice. However, after experiencing the AllSeasonContact 2, I finally understand where the extra money goes. The improvement in comfort, refinement, and overall driving quality is immediately noticeable.
So far, my first impressions are extremely positive, and I believe these tires are an excellent choice for drivers who want year-round convenience without compromising safety, comfort, and performance.
I bought these tires exactly one year and 7,500 km ago. Compared to the previous summer Turanzas, as I expected, they are softer when braking and cornering. I use them mainly on dry country roads: I have to say they perform well, even in sudden emergency brakes, especially on wet roads, a little less so on dry ones. Shock absorption is excellent, although they are noisier on the highway. As for wear, after driving 70% country roads, 20% city roads, and 10% highways, in 7,500 km, with a leisurely drive on a 95 HP Polo AW1 petrol car, I noticed a 0.3-0.4 mm tread wear.
On previous cars have run Michelin cross climates in their various revisions. The tires supplied with the new car were Continental Premium Contact 6, they were ok but not outstanding, with the onset on winter upgraded to Continental AllSeasonContact 2, partly because there is limited suppliers of the size needed. The grip and handling and even tire noise (except over very bad road services) all improved. Yet to be tested on very hot days so we will see how they handle the summer months. They appear better than the Michelins run in the past.
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.
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.
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, while 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.
Tires are good, are the second scorers of my entire life, I must admit that the number one still a Michelin Summer Tires from couples of year ago! I still search for that handling type but for an all season for an EV these are amazing tires! Let see on summer how they work
