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.
