Comparison: Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 vs. Continental AllSeasonContact 2 vs. Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs. Michelin CrossClimate 2

Our comparison puts two leading all-season tyre models to the test; the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 and the Continental AllSeasonContact 2. We summarize the data gathered from various tests, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.

Starting with the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2, it harvested a notice-worthy 68% rating in our evaluations. However, it has since been replaced by the more advanced Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3. This tyre is known notably for aquaplaning - longitudal performance and its dry braking capacities. Despite these impressive features, it falls short with a higher rolling resistance and average tread life according to Autobild 2023's test summary. Furthermore, in both the ACE and Autobild tests, it secured the 5th position among 9 and 16 tyres respectively.

On the other side, we have the Continental AllSeasonContact 2, a highly rated model from Continental winning an 85% rating from our tests. This all-rounder stands out with its performance in cross aquaplaning, dry handling, and wet braking & handling. ACE found it to be number one out of nine tyres tested, while Autobild ranked it second out of sixteen. The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 also showcased impressive winter qualities, dynamic handling, short braking distance on wet terrains and delivering a quiet drive as per Autobild 2023, despite a tendency towards understeering.

In conclusion, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 has a higher overall rating and test performance than the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2. However, the latter's replacement, Cinturato All Season SF3, could be a game-changer. Keep in mind that the best tyre for you always depends on your specific driving requirements.
