Comparison: Continental AllSeasonContact vs. Falken EuroALL Season AS210 vs. Nexen N Blue 4 Season vs. Kumho Ecsta HS52 vs. Vredestein ULTRAC
When comparing the Continental AllSeasonContact and Falken EuroALL Season AS210 tyres, a few factors stand out immediately. The Continental AllSeasonContact, manufactured in Slovakia, Czech Republic, and France, receives our rating of 76%. In contrast, the Falken EuroAll Season AS210, made in Turkey, comes in slightly lower at 73%. Both tyres are all-round types, suitable for most conditions and driving styles.
Examining the test results, the Continental AllSeasonContact displays strengths in handling in both wet and dry conditions as well as great snow braking. It has been flagged for having a high internal noise and weak snow traction, which dulled its performance results. In comparison, the Falken EuroALL Season AS210 produced the lowest internal noise on test and offered good snow traction and wet handling. However, its average grip in the snow and the dry might be seen as a weakness, together with its low aquaplaning resistance, and very high rolling resistance.
In terms of test positions, the Continental AllSeasonContact claimed the 5th spot in the Autobild test out of 27 tyres, receiving praise for a multitude of features, notably including snow braking, snow cornering, as well as, wet circle cornering. The Falken EuroALL Season AS210 took the 7th position in the same test, garnering notice for its wet circle cornering, dry handling and comfort.
In terms of feedback from autobild tests, the Continental AllSeasonContact offers impressive winter capabilities with stable handling on wet surfaces but was criticized for its braking distance on dry surfaces. The Falken EuroALL Season AS210, on the other hand, was approved for its precise steering and short braking distance on wet surfaces, though its performance on snowy and dry pavement was found wanting.
Based on these comparison findings, it appears the Continental AllSeasonContact may be a better fit for drivers frequently encountering snowy or wet conditions, while the Falken EuroALL Season AS210, with its good handling and lower noise levels, could shine in mostly dry conditions.
