Performance Analysis

Across 14 tests, the Toyo Celsius AS2 consistently trails class leaders in wet and snow performance while showing notable strengths in wear, value, and aquaplaning resistance. Average overall position of 11.4 reflects mid-to-lower tier dynamic grip, especially in wet braking and handling, but durability metrics and operating costs are among the best in segment.
Key positives include repeatedly top-tier wear projections, low abrasion, favorable value scores, and strong straight/curved aquaplaning. However, frequent bottom-group results in wet braking and snow traction/handling significantly limit overall competitiveness, with only occasional mid-pack dry results and sporadic wet handling highlights.
