A direct comparison of the Bridgestone and Continental all‑season entries gives a clear picture for readers searching for reliable test results: the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 (our rating: 90%) and the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 (our rating: 88%) are consistently ranked among the top performers in independent tyre tests for all‑season tyres.
Neither model has been officially replaced at the time of testing, so there is no direct successor to link to. Manufacturer pages: Bridgestone — Bridgestone, Continental — Continental.
Summary of test outcomes
Both tyres repeatedly finish in the podium in major magazines and organizations (Auto Express, AutoBild, ACE, Autozeitung, SportAuto and Tyre Reviews). Common patterns across the tests:
- Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 — often placed 1st–3rd. Test highlights show superior wet performance (wet braking, wet handling, aquaplaning resistance), excellent dry braking/handling, and very high ride comfort. AutoBild and Autobild 2025 praise its quiet ride, short dry braking distances and strong aquaplaning reserves. Strengths in many tests include aquaplaning resistance and balanced dry/wet stability.
- Continental AllSeasonContact 2 — regularly placed 1st–3rd with particular dominance in winter metrics: snow traction, snow braking and snow handling are repeatedly cited (Auto Express, AutoBild, Autozeitung). Tests also emphasize its low rolling resistance, low noise and high wear durability. Downsides commonly reported are a higher price and some relative weakness in cross‑aquaplaning and understeer tendencies in sporty maneuvers.
Head‑to‑head strengths & weaknesses
- Bridgestone — Strengths: outstanding wet grip and aquaplaning resistance, very good dry braking and handling, best ride comfort in several tests. Weaknesses: slightly weaker on deep snow compared to Continental; price can be high in some markets.
- Continental — Strengths: best in snow and ice metrics, excellent wet handling too, low rolling resistance (fuel saving) and low noise. Weaknesses: higher purchase price and occasional limits in aquaplaning corners or very sporty dry maneuvers.
Which tyre is better overall?
If you weigh the aggregated test positions and our percentage scores, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 holds a small overall advantage (90% vs 88%) thanks to its consistently top marks for wet and dry safety and comfort. However, in cold climates with frequent snow or where fuel economy is a priority, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 may be the better choice because of its clear superiority on snow, low rolling resistance and quiet operation.
Verdict: Both tyres belong to the top tier of current all‑season tyres. Choose Bridgestone for the best balanced wet/dry performance and comfort; choose Continental for winter capability, lower rolling resistance and refined NVH, accepting a premium price for those benefits.
