This tire has a very well-balanced performance, its only disadvantage being relatively poor braking capabilities on dry and wet pavement alike.

The Continental AllSeasonContact cannot ensure good ice traction, but it was not designed for such conditions in the first place. You can indeed drive this tire on snow, but the grip is modest, and the car may suddenly go into a skid. On tarmac, the AllSeasonContact behaves almost like a summer tire, ensuring excellent grip — both straight and lateral — in any situations, including emergency lane switching. Noise emission low, rolling resistance high.

Excellent snow performance. Stable handling response on wet pavement. Low rolling resistance. Prone to understeer; relatively long dry braking distance. Limited mileage. Average environmental performance. Satisfactory.

Well-balanced performance. Very good snow performance. Good handling response in the wet. Excellent hydroplaning resistance. Low rolling resistance. Prone to understeer on dry pavement. Good.

Well-balanced performance. Excellent handling response and a short stopping distance on wet and dry pavement alike. Good snow performance. Good riding comfort. Low noise emission.

Good handling in the wet and dry, good snow braking and handling, low rolling resistance. High internal noise, weak snow traction, extended dry braking.

Acceptable snow performance. Good results on dry pavement. Good hydroplaning resistance. Minor gripes about wet handling response. Recommended.

Well-balanced performance. Good results on snow, dry and wet pavement. Excellent hydroplaning resistance. Highly recommended.

Positive: Good balance of performance. Good traction on snow. Precise steering response. Excellent resistance to aquaplaning. Good level of comfort. Low rolling resistance.
Verdict: Exemplary.

The Continental AllSeasonContact performed well in nearly all conditions, and was particularly strong in the snow. A well balanced all season tyre, excellent for climates which see regular snow across the winter months.
Positive: Very short wet braking distances at both temperatures, excellent dry handling, good aquaplaning resistance, excellent grip in all snow tests, low rolling resistance.
Negative: Long dry braking, average wet handling.

Positive: High performance on snow and wet roads, high steering precision, dynamic handling on snow and wet roads, short braking distances on wet roads, low rolling resistance.
Negative: Increased braking distances on dry roads.
Verdict: satisfactory.

Short braking distances and good lateral stability on wet roads. High rolling resistance.

Positive: sporty handling on snow and wet slopes, precise steering behavior, low rolling resistance.
Negative: longer braking distances on dry roads, high price.

Positive: High levels of grip in the wet and on snow, very high aquaplaning resistance, low rolling resistance.
Negative: Average grip in the dry, increased noise levels.
Overall: The AllSeasonContact is a very well balanced all season tyre, and works well in all conditions.

A very convincing tire model that ensures great snow performance and offers a good price/quality ratio. In addition, it is characterized by strong hydroplaning resistance, crisp steering response, long tread life, and low rolling resistance.

High resistance to straight and lateral aquaplaning. Very good snow handling. High snow traction. Average dry braking distance.

Positive: Winter specialist with dynamic, sporty handling on snow and wet roads, precise steering behavior, low rolling resistance.
Negative: longer braking distances on dry roads, high price.

Good lateral stability on snow. Great handling response in the wet. Excellent hydroplaning resistance. Reliable behavior during emergency maneuvers on dry pavement. Long braking distance on wet and dry pavements. Slightly prone to oversteer on asphalt. Good.

Convincing all-round tires with the best winter qualities and a very good price-performance ratio. Very good aquaplaning properties, precise steering behavior, high mileage, fuel-saving rolling resistance.

Fairly decent performance on wet pavement, satisfactory results on snow. Poor grip and traction on dry pavement.

Well-balanced premium-class tires with a sporty dynamic feel on wet pavement and a long running life, effective braking, and great lateral stability on snow, low rolling resistance, and a good price/quality ratio. A slightly increased braking distance on wet pavement.

Positive: Outstanding traction on snow, dynamic handling response on wet pavement, good riding comfort, the lowest rolling resistance on test. Negative: Insufficient handling response on dry pavement.

Great braking performance; slightly delayed when cornering. Generally safe, but not always effective when cornering.

Good on wet and snow. Top mark in fuel consumption. Quite weak on a dry road.

Pros: Dependable grip on snow and wet pavement. Dynamic wet handling and high safety margin in terms of hydroplaning. Running life: average. Cons: Average grip on dry pavement.

The new Continental AllSeasonContact proves to have excellent snow performance, beating the dedicated winter tire during the braking and handling tests, and also proving to be strong in the wet. Very low rolling resistance. Very high wear, high purchase price.
