The Continental SecureContact AW is a touring all-weather tire with short wet braking distances, good wet handling and competitive snow grip. Comfort and rolling resistance are also good, but resistance to aquaplaning is a clear weakness.

The BEST All Weather Tires for 2026/27 P1 of 8
The new Continental SecureContact AW finished joint first with the Michelin. It was the best tire in the wet, secure and predictable with huge amounts of grip, it got closer to the Michelin in the snow than any other tire, and it had the second lowest rolling resistance. Aquaplaning is its weak point. If you see more wet weather across the year than snow, this is the all weather tire to buy.

“Ran these the past few months in a canadian winter and so far I'm really impressed. They're solid feeling, have excellent grip and are quiet. I will report back in the future to see how they're getting on.”
