This comparison looks at the Firestone Multiseason 2 and the Toyo Celsius AS2 across independent tyre tests and lab results to determine which performs better overall. Both tyres are full product entries on our site — see the Firestone page at /firestone-multiseason-2 and the Toyo page at /toyo-celsius-as2. Manufacturer pages: Firestone and Toyo. Neither model is listed as replaced by a newer version.


At a glance, our scores give the Firestone Multiseason 2 a slight edge (56% vs 54%). Test rankings consistently place Firestone ahead or level with Toyo: in Autobild group tests Firestone typically finished one or more positions higher (e.g. 11th vs 12th in a 15‑tyre test), and in ADAC the Multiseason 2 ranked 8th of 16 compared with the Celsius AS2 at 11th. Across multiple Autobild and ADAC reviews the pattern is the same — Firestone is generally stronger in winter and wet performance, Toyo is closer on comfort and value.


Firestone Multiseason 2 — strengths & weaknesses


  • Strengths: Very good wet handling lap, excellent grip in snow tests, short snow and wet braking distances in several tests, and consistently low rolling resistance which supports fuel economy and mileage.

  • Weaknesses: Extended dry braking distances in some tests, only moderate lateral control on snow, and limited safety reserves in corner aquaplaning. Comfort is slightly below average versus premium all‑season/winter rivals.

  • Test highlights: Praised repeatedly for snow braking and low roll resistance; placed higher than Toyo in most comparative rankings.


Toyo Celsius AS2 — strengths & weaknesses


  • Strengths: Good value for money, high mileage potential, comfortable ride and low exterior noise in several Autobild runs, and strong aquaplaning resistance/frame in some cross tests.

  • Weaknesses: Weaker wet and winter grip compared with Firestone — testers report longer wet braking, understeer on wet and snowy surfaces, and overall average winter qualities. Some reports also note higher rolling resistance in certain seasons.

  • Test highlights: Often singled out for comfort, noise and cost‑effectiveness; however it falls behind Firestone where wet grip and snow handling matter most.


Mutual test positions & overall verdict
When you aggregate the results, Firestone holds a narrow but meaningful advantage in performance‑critical categories (wet braking, snow grip and rolling resistance) while Toyo scores better on comfort, noise and price/value. In head‑to‑head rankings across Autobild and ADAC test portfolios Firestone more often finishes ahead. If your priority is winter and wet performance and slightly better efficiency, the Firestone Multiseason 2 is the better choice. If budget, ride comfort and aquaplaning confidence are more important, the Toyo Celsius AS2 is a compelling value option.
