I drive the tire on 2 vehicles, on a Honda e as the only all-season tire and on a BMW M240i G42 xDrive as a winter and touring tire. On the Honda, the tire understeers a bit, while on the BMW, the tire behaves normally (Square Four setup), but during high power use at the corner exit, it then 'folds' at the back, or power is regulated down. The outstanding feature of the tire is its comfort, without feeling mushy. Yesterday, I switched from Conti SC7 to AllSeasonContact 2 on the BMW because I want to embark on a Northern Italy tour with several passes over 2000 meters. Honestly, I like the ASC2 almost better than the SC7. It drives smoother/harmoniously, but doesn't provide the same high-speed stability at the rear as the SC7. I really like the ASC2.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What BMW M240i drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
The tires are equally good.
The Falken is new now, so it might have more grip than the GY, but its handling is just as good, if not better than the GY.
Plus, the Falken is cheaper.
I'll continue to use this tire in the future.
PS5 First impressions were positive but I came to quickly realise that was down to the old-for-new tire swap! While I've found the PS5 to be good in the cold and wet, it understeers way too much for my liking. The rears in 245/35/18 are now approaching 2mm (after 14 months/less than 20000miles) so any day now I'll be replacing them.
