Summary of independent test results

Across Autobild group tests the AllSeasonContact 2 consistently finishes near the top: 2nd of 16 and 3rd of 37 in two major test runs. Test reports repeatedly praise its low exterior noise, excellent snow traction and short wet braking distances, plus good rolling resistance and balanced wet handling. Autobild’s 2024 text summary highlights the tyre’s "strong performance on snow and ice, short braking distances and confident wet behaviour", with only average aquaplaning reserves noted.

The Firestone Multiseason 2 ranks substantially lower in the same tests: 13th of 16 and 22nd of 37. Test highlights for the Firestone focus mainly on its low rolling resistance and acceptable behaviour on snow and wet surfaces, but shortcomings include mediocre aquaplaning performance, understeer tendencies in snow and dry, and limited wear life according to Autobild 2023.

Strengths and weaknesses

• Continental AllSeasonContact 2 — Strengths: excellent snow traction and cornering, short wet braking distances, low exterior noise and strong overall balance. Weaknesses: only average aquaplaning resilience and a higher price point.


• Firestone Multiseason 2 — Strengths: low rolling resistance and stable basic behaviour on snow and wet. Weaknesses: inconsistent aquaplaning resistance, understeer in several conditions, and reduced longevity.

Head-to-head test positions and what they mean

In head-to-head comparisons and multi-tyre group tests the Continental is a clear top contender (top 3 finishes), while the Firestone sits in the lower mid-field. The Continental’s balanced performance across wet, dry and winter conditions results in a substantially higher overall score (86% vs 56%), which translates to better safety margins, quieter ride and more confident handling in mixed-season use.

Verdict — which tyre should you choose?

If you prioritise all-round performance, safety in wet and snowy conditions, and low noise, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the stronger choice. For drivers who prioritise fuel economy and want a lower-cost option for mixed winter/mild conditions, the Firestone Multiseason 2 can be acceptable but expect compromises in aquaplaning, steering precision and longevity.
