Product description & features

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 introduces the benefit of improved mileage and wet braking, when compared to its original AllSeasonContact model. While it is better in those areas, it is still certified to be used in winter conditions. It has an aggressive V-shaped pattern in the tread of the tyre, designed to guide water away from the contact area and to the edge of the tyre. It has a C-shaped block to maintain and improve steering response on dry surfaces and has micro cuts in the treads to improve grip on cold surfaces and snow. The polymer and plasticizer compound from Continental maintains flexibility in varying temperatures for better grip.

It is the replacement to the AllSeasonContact and has a reported improvement of 15% in mileage and 3% in wet braking distance, in comparison to the original model, not to mention improved Rolling Resistance by 6%. The tyre is certified with the 3PMSF mark and is available with reinforced XL construction. You can find both of these options at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Improved mileage and wet braking
  • V-shaped tread pattern
  • Micro cuts for snow grip
  • 3PMSF winter certification

Tyre review for Continental All Season Contact 2 205/55R16 94V XL
These tyres are OK. They last a long time which is good. They aren't too noisy. I think fuel efficiency is good. They are stable on smooth country roads.

Tyre review for Continental All Season Contact 2 205/55R16 94V XL
While I'm not an expert, I assume these tyres are not an issue. It was quite nice during the snow to drive by cars stuck on minor hills in the neighbourhood.

They are doing well and provide a great grip under both wet and dry conditions. They are not quiet, yet they keep their pressure and shape well.

I haven't tried them in snowy conditions with the cross-climate model, but so far the tyres are doing a good job.

Tyre review for Continental All Season Contact 2 205/55R16 94V XL
Excels in conditions that are wet, snowy, or slushy. Quiet and economical in terms of fuel consumption. On dry roads the handling could be better as it's a bit soft and imprecise, even for an all-season tyre. Optimal for areas with long and cold wet or snowy conditions.
