On the other hand, the Continental AllSeasonContact is praised for its good handling in wet and dry conditions, as well as its impressive snow braking, handling, and low rolling resistance, according to TyreReviews.com 2022 results. However, it also has some downsides, such as high internal noise, weak snow traction and extended dry braking. In Autoklub ČR's test, it also ranked 2nd out of 10 tyres, and Autobild ranked it 7th out of 11 tyres in their 2022 test.

Verdict:
In summary, both tyres have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO offers excellent wet and dry grip, low rolling resistance, and short dry braking distances, making it a great option for drivers who face a more mild winter environment.
